The modern world is a dreadful garbage heap.

@EdwardTasch @ImBreckWorsham I think there's also a whole lot of people who believe Trump is "protecting" them against a jumble of things. The old paranoia nurtured with a heavy dose of lies and fear.

@braxtonpope You know, I'm thinking the same and getting annoyed at myself for not leaving X for good for the contemplative quiet of BlueSky.
But I'm going to do it, I'm going to!

@FriendlessGhoul OK, it's more complicated than I thought.

@FriendlessGhoul You should just ignore or block. These people behave outrageously to get engagement. They're the modern-day version of the villain with a shifty look, rubbing his hands and giggling malevolently.

This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.

@JulieCarmen3 I'm on BlueSky. Are you? Really need to leave X for good.

Serious question: when was the last time you went to the doctor? No specifics required.

@braxtonpope You read me correctly! These days I watch almost exclusively films of the 20th century. So many of them, more than a lifetime, it dawned on me I had to focus on them as they and their eras are my favourite.
Perhaps a cinephilic existential crisis.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

This is what Trump's done to the people's house:

A third of it is rubble.

Another third is a cage match.

What a metaphor.

@braxtonpope You can't beat classic cars. Designs took the wrong turn, well, at the turn of the century. Now cars all look the same, which, in a way, makes the oldies stand out even more!

@braxtonpope Did you delete that Ferrari retweet? I liked the film reference in it, Dammit, it made me feel all metzengerstein inside.

[👁️ atsugi 👁️ @atsugi]

@braxtonpope Ah, yes, I see now. It's confusing they mix tweets and replies.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Question for Musk: You tell us not to worry about the jobs that’ll be wiped out by AI & robotics because the government will provide everyone with “universal high income.” Really?

How will that be paid for when you can’t even support a 5% tax on your $817 billion in wealth?

@braxtonpope Teshigahara also adapted Tannin no kao from Kobo Abe, but this one disappointed me, even though it starred Tatsuya Nakadai. Have you seen it?

@braxtonpope There will be a before and an after Le Chapeau.

@braxtonpope Naturally.
For a French person, the first, gut reaction is: "oops, big mistake!"😀 and I was too tired to think beyond that.
