There was a mass shooting here at a public event in Seattle. Sometimes a backstory arises and maybe it was associated with a gang, or maybe it was domestic violence. But I am starting to think it's a rise in domestic right wing terrorism. It's like our own brand of ISIS indoctrination.
If you consider yourself literate, or having literacy, then you need to have a radical stance to be skeptical of everything you read from any media. You need a bullshit meter set on extreme sensitivity.
But you also need a sensitivity to recognize your authentic fellow human's voice.
We might be hearing, Trump is obsessed with his position due to Iran, or he is mad at Netanyahu. Or you might hear MJT is outside the fold or Tucker or Rogan is critical of Trump. Don't be fooled.
Iran makes the radical Christians happy with Armageddon and the oil companies are happy with profits.
Academics with more time than me: do a study of songs performed at karaoke bars. I swear my drunken experience is people want peace and understanding, and pop songs and dancing. Our faith in humanity is in the wrong place my friends.
I'm reading an article about an outbreak of cyclosporiasis affecting 17 states, and basically it's providing tools to help reduce exposure to it. But the underlying story is the federal government is so understaffed they haven't found the source.
Everything Trump touches turns to shit. Many of us have known this for a long time. In recent history, the Knicks lost a game, 4th of July fireworks in DC, the reflecting pool, and now team USA losed to Belgium.
Trump said of his making $1B off crypto--so what? Everyone's doing it. And that is what it means when all your elected officials are corrupt or more interested in their own pocketbooks.
If you read the news you'd think that progressives and "radical" or "far" left are a strange anomaly.
However, it's a position that all Americans support: equity, freedom, prosperity.
It's just that we are past all the bullshit and ready to go against the oligarchs and assholes.
On July 1st there is a Moon conjunct Pluto and trining Uranus and Mars. 😳
Moon waning but still has some light.
That's the day I'm eyeing as significant this year.
Don't be deceived by Tucker Carlson's propaganda. It looks like he's separating but notice he says of Trump, "he’s not stupid and he’s not senile". It sounds like a counter-message but it supports trump where he needs it.
The MAGA are reorganizing to take over the Republic.
In the Odyssey, Odysseus is returning from the battle of Troy and inadvertantly ends up trapped with a Cyclops within a cave.
Using his wits, Odysseus escapes with half the men he was trapped with (they got eaten by Cyclops), and upon escaping turns to they Cyclops and says, it was me! Odysseus!
