Daniel Day-Lewis is a great actor and all, but sometimes his performances feel like he's so determined to be patently singular that you're left appreciating his performance but forgetting the arc of the character he's been paid to represent.
We've spent the last six years cresting into oblivion; our senses pick up amplifier echoes, kinetoscope flickers, and old, close-knit celebrations, but we know it's just the collective psyche reverberating our earlier joys and--now--we've set a doleful timer on our last dances.
Sure, Anthropic may have stolen all the world's intellectual property, destroyed the education system, incited mass layoffs among the corporate class, devalued all art and destroyed social trust but somehow they also managed to lose $80 billion in the first half of 2026
@e_galv American liberals are free-range chickens; they believe they are protected, they marvel at the scenery and the regular meals, but they're just cackling inside of a little cloistered death camp.
"Is today the day..."
-...when everything crumbles
-...when I have to move out of my home
-...when I'm paralyzed in bed while alarms ring
-...when everyone triangulates against my well-being
-...when lunch costs 100 digital dollars
-...when the present divorces the past...
..?
Peace is only possible when power is met with accountability.
When humility triumphs over ego.
When we're proud of our conceptual and literal shared humanity, not just of our nation, ethnicity, party or "team".
I am never under the illusion I will see this day come.
