This is real talk. Community support and mutual aid networks broke down once we started buying into all that β€œrise and grind,” nuclear family, rugged individual mess.

Multigenerational households and tightly-knit communities were how we survived. It’s how we’ll survive again.

On Twilight Zone, Rod Sterling describes a character as having a chip on his shoulder the size of the national debt.

This was in 1959.
The National debt was $285B

Today,
The National debt is $38.7T.

That’s more than a 100x? Sorry, but when the magic numbers get this large my brain fractures.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

On what would have been my father’s 79th birthday, I’m waiting for the inevitable β€œHappy Heavenly Birthday” social media posts from family.

Never mind that he was a staunch atheist.

I had a feeling this was coming. Limited chips, gpus only going to certain buyers. Companies cropping up to RENT laptops and home computers. These folks don’t want us to own anything. They’re so fucking greedy man.

My son told me a lot of PC gamers are going back to consoles and we are losing out on the Steam Deck because of bullshit AI driving the prices of parts.

Everything is awful.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as β€œpulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

A man whose 1980 Presidential campaign included a big speech on β€œState’s Rights” in Philadelphia, Mississippi. The man whose campaigns branded Black women as β€œwelfare queens.”

Gavin Newsom can eat a dick.

Kelsey Grammer. Dear reader. Thank you for taking the time to check out this alt text! As you may or may not know, this is a ridiculous joke. I know full well who the person is in the photo, and that I've added the bio of a different person entirely. That's the joke. It's a gag about people having a similar name, which I can mix up in a comedic way. Also, I was dropped on the head as a baby. Several times.

Insanity Check: Selling Your Soul Is the New Fad

New #InsanityCheck episode with @dpalm66.bsky.social. Gambling enters it's final form with ppl making unregulated prediction markets seem normal. We also have way too many ppl comfortable giving all of their data to Chatbots for ugly caricatures just so they don't have FOMO online. We're cooked

If you watch The Help, which I don’t really recommend, and imagine one of those Black women are your grandmother or great grandmother, it’s makes the film even more offensive.

Just know Ms. Minny, you always have a job here as our help , raising our kids over your now, cooking for us over your own.

Most controls in organizations fail when there is collusion. It is an interesting academic problem to try to correct this in the Constitution, and would have been helpful to avoid the coming guillotines. The root of the crisis of character seems to come from the corruption created by money.
