There are people making weapons and developing systems that are intended as the means to rule over us. But according to assholes like Peter Thiel, they're not the bad guys. Somehow, the bad guys are the ones trying to stop them.

Two things:

1. Better men than these dorks have been trying to conquer the world for 40,000 years, and the world remains undefeated
2. But the Conqueror's Mentality (a close correlation to the Theory Of The Greater Fool) drives these guys to keep trying. "Everyone else may have failed, but that was then and not now - that was them and not me. I'm faster, stronger, and smarter, so I'm just guy who can pull it off"

Some of the most insightful commentary on the web.

Selma to Montgomery

The Selma to Montgomery March occurred on March 21 to 25, 1965, and was led by Dr Martin Luther King. This march was the culmination of several weeks of activity, during which demonstrators had tried to march on two occasions. They were stopped on both occasions, once violently, by the police. Approximately 25,000 people joined the March and it became a landmark event in the Civil Rights Movement, leading directly to the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The march brought public attention to the injustices faced by African Americans in voting.

In 1996, it was designated as a National Historic Trail in an act proposed by President Bill Clinton and passed by Congress, to be preserved by the National Park Service.

In March 2005, a re-enactment of the march took place to commemorate its 40th anniversary. This anniversary led to the creation of a pedestrian walk around Selma.

In 2015 the Marion to Selma Connecting Trail was designated to connect the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail with the site of Jimmie Lee Jackson's murder.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 directed the National Park Service to study potential additions to the trail and whether it should become a unit of the National Park System.

About That SAVE Act Thing

It's not about voter ID. It's about keeping people from voting at all.

Say What?

You're telling me she ran out on you?

Let's just say that if her left knee was Monday, and her right knee was Wednesday - well then - it's Goodbye Ruby Tuesday.

Poverty is not a shortcoming of the poor.

It's the failure of a government owned by the rich.

No matter how bad it is, if a disaster doesn't negatively affect rich people - particularly rich American people - we're not going to hear about it down here with the normal folk.

How Do I Not Hate These Assholes?

We're living another episode of Classic GOP Proforma Bullshit.

• Completely fuck something up
• Walk away, leaving it for someone else to clean up the mess you've made
• Bitch about the clean up and the people doing the work

I live for the morning I wake up to The Big Beautiful Obituary.

A Quote

In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upwardly mobile. And the rest of us are fucked until we can get our acts together - not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely.

I Just Have To

You may notice I'm having a bit of trouble staying away. Call it my overdeveloped sense of commitment to routine. Sue me.

This is too good not to pass along.
