doncha wanna be my valentine

At least the White House Valentine post is a quick way to identify the simple of politic. 💖 💛 🤎

Oh, let me just whip out a pen and try to keep this s5it straight. Who’s been naughty, who’s been nice, and what will you be tomorrow? idgaf


I sent an electronic birthday card to Melania last April to skew the databases, but it didn’t do any good.

a crazy, i’m ok with the label

“You mean you don’t believe what ALL of the intelligence agencies are saying?”

Me: “um, no.”

Her eyes became big as saucers as the air rushed out of her lungs. She haltingly said: “well, um, I’m so glad you’re here.”

Now I’m looked at as a crazy. 😁

I was in a room today with a television tuned to Fox News, so I got some rare exposure. Many of the gripes aired were legitimate, some even spot on. An issue that caught my attention was Fox using the terms “the left” and “Democratic Party” interchangeably. I don’t define that party to be left at all. It’s mostly a roaring, contemptible, dangerous disaster, but not left.

For me, that party closely resembles the other party but with a few pretty glittery things tacked on. Same bombers, same aggression, same gutting of everything. The mind reels.

Mainline corporate news outlets of any stripe are of low value truth wish, of high value propaganda wise. With that in mind, one can learn from them.

the nation magazine has the power to push, i guess

There is no The Nation reader pushing any candidate in any direction unless they have a ton of money. For me, this magazine would be a waste of time. Into the trash with this envelope. This is far too tame for me.

censorship backfires

So many I know are gung ho to purge the platforms.

Ajamu Baraka: We Are Entering a New Totalitarian Era

“Anybody who is in opposition to the hegemony of the neoliberal project is at some point over the next few years going to experience the heavy hand of the state.”

surveil

I think we’re supposed to start turning people in for things pretty soon.

parler

I’m not particularly a Parler fan, but I sometimes visit sites of which I am not to get viewpoints and experience an alternative environment. Silicon Valley’s desire and power to destroy Parler is alarming.

Many I know cheered the removal of Parler from the net by spreading false information as justification, often by citing half-truth articles two to three times removed from source. Few of my contacts on Facebook vet anything, especially if they are the ones posting all day.

Some of the same people have criticized MeWe, one by saying that it is owned by evangelicals. It’s not, but my response would be, “I don’t care. I want to know how they operate it.”

Parler is down. What’s next? Telegram? MeWe?

hacking alarm pfft, cryptome

Love this paragraph:

Yet, the sun shines on all of god’s creatures, at least those not underground, and for those sunlit it should be possible to use our brightest star to transmit to one another with unlimited brilliance and clarity our wish for them to get off our lawn, turn down the noise, be respectful, wear a mask, ratchet up blaming the opposition.
