@KeithOlbermann This is yet another litmus test for how much people will at once claim to be for the "American Way" but then just kneel down and kiss boots when it comes to Trump. If you are for the Pres doing this, because he is emotional like this, you're insane trash.
@s33nme @Drayton_Bailey@ericweinstein Maybe there was AI in that post, who knows. But which keyboard are you talking about? Seen this argument a few times lately about only AI uses em dashes. The key combo in Word is easy and fast and the em dash is available in iOS with a long press on the hyphen.
@ericweinstein Now is it merely "America First"? Or is it "America First and lol f-you all the rest of the world including our allies and let's talk about 'redrawing the border with Canada" too 'cause everything has been a libtard lie but trust us bro what we say is 100% true and unbiased"?
This is the problem with the team mentality that the Woke-Left had. I don't get it. Who wants to go back?
Does anyone want a new Hymnal? Or new cancellations. Or a new ring to kiss. Or new identity politics.
I for one don't want Maddow/Reid/Lemon replaced with these new cheerleaders with new enemies lists. It seems like maybe @ConceptualJames and @KonstantinKisin were right to warn us about this with the term "Woke Right" which I instantly disliked when I heard it. I am beginning to think that maybe I just wasn't getting it.
Is this new administration able to ingroup dissenters and individualists or does everyone have to repeat lines and talking points all over again?
Immediate disclosure was supposed to be the super easy part.
We all want to know *immediately*:
A) What is/was the UFO legacy program?
B) CIA/USG involvement in JFK assassination?
C) Was Epstein a State-Sponsored/Protected IC asset?
etc.
Can anyone explain what the hold up is? And, under any circumstances, I don't think anyone I know is desperate to have it filtered through "influencers". WTF. Yuck.
Use a website. And PDF. No one I know wants an internet crew like this lording over us repeating a script.
Ouch! This is actually an excellent question, and I get it often.
Answer: No,
I will not stop talking about “irrelevant nonsense” like tropical fruit, blues music, or the Azores. Here’s why.
I don’t think I would care so much about the coming self-inflicted disasters we are seeking if I didn’t love being alive on this amazing planet as much as I do.
I believe we *are* courting disaster in Russia, in the Middle East, in European and North American cities, in the Oval Office, and in our universities. And I talk about this suicidal impulse all the time.
But why fight for survival at all costs?
It’s because of the Cello suites. And the Mangoes. And the grandchildren I hope are in my future. And the glorious sunsets and dirty limericks. And the jam sessions that last until dawn.
And if I forget that, I’m not going to fight as hard for awareness of what is going on and for our long term survival. Quite frankly, too many accounts on this platform are so negative that I don’t think they are *for* anything. Everything is “cringe” or “lame” or … I dunno…it’s just so pathetic.
So, sorry. I am going to talk about tropical fruit and avoiding Armageddon *simultaneously* and without apology. Because WWIII and revolutionary postmodernism risk destroying everything I love about this planet.
And I absolutely love this place. It’s just that we technical people gave the political and money people the power they sought. And, frankly, they aren’t that good not to use it. So it’s time to plan for what is coming sooner or later when they finally go over the line.
It’s not that I want to talk about how much danger we are in. Not at all! Sorry if I left that impression.
What I really want to talk about is Mississippi John Hurt and Custard Apples. And what motivates me to talk about the problems is how much everything I love has suddenly been put at risk by terrible leadership. Who are Sinwar, Putin, Biden, Netanyahu, Trump, Schwab and Xi?? Are you waiting for the 4th turning to sort this out?? I’m not.

Hard times make strong men.
Strong men make Good times and Nuclear weapons.
Good times make weak men.
Weak men and Nuclear Weapons make End Times.

So let’s talk about the serious stuff. But let’s *not* find purpose in that. Ever.
The goal is for our great great grandchildren to be able to hold their grandchildren on their laps sharing some mango while listening to the cello suites.
Or “Whole lotta love”…or whatever it is you love most about this place.
And on and on. Generation to generation.
For all our faults, I am still in awe of us humans and what we accomplished in a short time on this planet.
And because of that, it’s now time to diversify our risk and truly, at last, reach for the stars. Let’s find our way back to looking for long term solutions that preserve what we have accomplished and all that we have. It’s amazing what we can do when we are motivated to thrive as well as survive.
And just the thought of sharing fresh tropical fruit with my kids motivates me.
For whatever reason. 🙏
