@walterkirn “Privatized authoritarianism”: Funded, brought to you and protected by the US government—a.k.a. our tax dollars & We the People. The corruption and malfeasance rivals any government anywhere in modern history at least.

@walterkirn @jeffreytucker Great analogy. Apt and depressing AF.

[Marni Gauthier @MGauthierPhD]

@walterkirn Wow. Captures the emerging major shift of the current political moment, wrapped in gorgeous incisive prose ❤️‍🔥that conveys Los Angelenos and the LA milieu to a “T.” Thanks for sharing! 🌇

lol— I’m in Boulder, where mountain lions often wander down from the foothills and walk-through neighbors yards – our Neighborhood list posts night cams’ recordings the action. I was standing on my front stoop, chatting with a neighbor couple years back, and a gorgeous mountain lion literally walked right down the sidewalk in front of my house. We must respect and learn to live with them. After all, it’s us who are crowding them. Beautiful creatures.

@Spurgeon38356 @walterkirn As a first-gen myself who later became an English professor, it especially resonated. Loved it!

[Marni Gauthier @MGauthierPhD]

@walterkirn What an apt comparison. Spot on.

@walterkirn -- The end of Up in the Air presaged this, 25 years ago. Chilling. You prescient gypsy.

@walterkirn “ guiding people to remain in balance with the world and interact with it as intended”: I love that. Never more needed than now.

[Marni Gauthier @MGauthierPhD]

@walterkirn @alabasterangel2 Now I’m in.

[Marni Gauthier @MGauthierPhD]

@walterkirn Perfectly put.

[Marni Gauthier @MGauthierPhD]

@marcvelitrae @walterkirn Wow, this is great, & makes me sad. Because 20 years later, more millions just plugged into the Matrix, impervious to what makes us human – warmth, connection, interaction, depth, discovery, —all the things you named and more @walterkirn. Love. The things that matter.

@just_luqman001 @DoctorLemma "We really underestimate the healing power of just being close to someone who feels like home. ♥️" Truth that bears repeating in this cold, mad world.

[Marni Gauthier @MGauthierPhD]

@walterkirn In the meantime, can you post a few lines about said obstacles here on X? Like the phenemenon the film treats, I bet that would fuel the fire of investors with conviction and soul.

@walterkirn Mass. Formation. Psychosis. As clips & images like this show, it would be a clown show--were it not so godawful tragic and malevolent.

[Marni Gauthier @MGauthierPhD]

@walterkirn The doldrums of the abrupt ATW breakup have not lessened in the last two months. The increasing malaise of Trump's foray into Iran has exacerbated its absence. Living through this interminably perilous history without ATW is a nightmare from which I cannot awake. @mtaibbi wtaf?
