I hear CEO's make for good eating. Tender like veal but without the ethical dilemma of veal.

A shocking amount of bears also have developed a taste for the wealthy. I hear the bears think of glamping the way small towns think of fancy resteraunts.

Creepy stuff. Please tell me this is in no way representative.

From what I have seen these are still pretty normal people. There are much bigger crazies out there.

But I said, this is basically a peasant rebellion. Something that was happening all cross the world for centuries (and for pretty similar reasons). Which all come down to the fact that establishment messed up in the big picture. So the people have decided to make their own show and make a complete mockery of the system since they don't really believe in it anymore. I mean this is what people do when they start running out of options in life.

I think the bemused spirit of Franz Kafka is giving me the business after I criticized his cynicism whilst in my 20's. On the bright side Ive learned to better appreciate Kafka more. Either that or age is turning me into S.L. Clemmons.

This is why Cassandra of Troy was always in a bad mood. Though I'm pretty sure anyone could have seen this future unfolding. There is no distinctly native criminal class except from Congress. Trump was the herald blowing the trumpet, Santos, Boebert, Green answered the call. More are coming. Insanity has come into fashion like its 1936 again.

Not to credit The Atlantic with much but in 2016 I read an article about American politics went insane and projecting what 2020 would look like. Kanye West and Phil Robertson (Duck Dynasty) would be the D and R candidates. The thing is - that's not an outlandish thought at all and you know people would vote for them. I can say in the last 10 years or so, I have never felt as bad as I do now. Mostly because people refuse to treat the Republicans like the right wing terrorists that they are and the Dems like the pussies that enable them, plus the disgusting US/West response to the genocide in Gaza.

The only certainty in life is death. Until then, eat drink and be merry as you can. We're all going to be dead so soon. Cosmically speaking anyway. Why don't you gentlemen have a Pepsi?
