I won’t install Facebook Messenger because fuck Zuck and his privacy-raping software.

I’m a supertaster and hypervigilant, so all my senses are dialed up to 11. My memory is also unusually good. Also my son claims I have “Poon vision”, but I’m not crazy about that idea.

Thirty-nine years ago I worked night shift during college. I’m still trying to straighten out my circadian rhythms.

Because the system gives them no other real choice. When all major parties serve the interests of the oligarchs, the people know that they’re being screwed. Which makes them angry. And since the powers that be absolutely will not allow the emergence of a truly populist movement or leader, the people have no other option but to support a charismatic authoritarian leader who promises them whatever they want. I suspect that most of the people know that those leaders are lying, but at least they acknowledge that the people are being screwed!

Note that while the establishment never allows a leftist populist movement, they’re fine with an authoritarian one. Translation: our owners won’t allow their cattle to run free, but they’re happy to have us all choose a leader to send us to the slaughterhouse for their profit.
