I really tire of social media. It denudes words of meaning. The word "genocide" could far more be applied to US actions in Southeast Asia. And yet according to a certain set, Gaza is the greatest genocide in human history. It's simply so tiring. And yes, I see that on here as well. No social media platform is immune from the self-righteous. It's why I'm simply not engaging. I stick to Instagram and the cute animal accounts I follow, and my blog. I can't save everyone.
Today at the Bar.
CULTURE THURSDAY: THE WORLD IS TOO MUCH WITH US

Well. I'm opening a boutique.
Oh man. Single malt Speyside. Mother's milk.
And this goes for shows like "Have I Got News For You". Snarky distance on things which are deadly serious just turns the audiences of these programs into apathetic lumps.
Two threads on why Jon Stewart has been awful for our politics.
I'm warning you now. I'm going to lay off the politics for a bit. But tomorrow you may see #WeirdAlbumCovers. Be afraid.
FFS! Can people not accept that this is a different era, and your whiteness doesn't entitle you to leadership?
It's like Bernie demanding that Kamala jump through hoops that he didn't demand Joe jump through. Gee, I wonder what's different about her than Pres. Biden. π€
And no, I don't want to hear defenses of any of them.
It doesn't help my mood that I was almost rear ended by a maniac doing 90 on the freeway in moderately heavy traffic half an hour ago. I don't like people very much.
If you cheat, may you cheat death
If you steal, may you steal another's heart
If you fight, may you fight for your fellows
If you drink, drink with me!
