  • Sounds like the same type of ignorant, idiotic narcissist who insists on his purity and bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe

    The horizon looks equally distant from all directions, so he must conclude that He is at the center of the multiverses! Unilateral stomping of rights, cruel chaos for domestic minorities within and also entire nations abroad, is a price he is willing to pay from a comfy distance, as he fondles his smelly little purity, sniffs his fingers, and exhales in smug self-satisfaction… “you’re welcome, people of the world, you’re welcome”.

    You could also switch it around with Lot’s wife turning back to catch a glimpse of Sodom and Gomorrah.

    “Couldn’t resist the urge to sneak a quick peek? The punishment is DEATH BY STONE! And never mind poor widowed Lot and orphaned children, I don’t give a fuck!” - the just and merciful god of the desert.



  • I’m gonna go old school on you, remembering some of the pioneers from an age long past.

    In 70s comedy, there was MASH (deftly balancing war and humor), Barney Miller (like a gritty urban Sydney Lumet movie, turned into a sitcom) and Taxi (Danny Devito, Christopher Lloyd and Andy Kauffman, WTF?!!).

    In early-80s drama, there was Hill Street Blues (once again, like a gritty urban Sydney Lumet movie, turned into a brilliant ensemble cop drama) and St. Elsewhere (another ensemble, a Boston hospital drama with a good splash of magic realism, this is where Denzel Washington got his start!).

    Later in the 80s and early 90s, there was yet another groundbreaking ensemble, Northern Exposure (a quirky and sophisticated half-serious drama, with LOTS of magic realism, about a small, remote Alaska town).

    Finally, I can’t go without mentioning my favorite #1 all-time GOAT series, Mad Men. I’ve watched the entire thing at least four times, it’s like reading and re-reading the proverbial “Great American Novel”.

    Change the caption on the gears, and instead of pointing fingers at political parties, make it “We may or may not vote” on the left, then “Definitely not voting” on the right.

    If you neglect elections and there’s a seesaw every two years, sure, that’s exactly what happens. But god forbid, to generate the requires electoral/political inertia for long-term change would require you people to… gasp!.. make a tiny amount of effort one day a year. And we can’t have that, now can we?

    Look at all the energy that has to be expended just to MAYBE slow the goose-stepping slide into hell a little bit, when all it took to keep the January 6 mouth-breathers from power, was to have gone and voted one Tuesday in November.

    Divide-and-conquer negative propaganda works so easily on so many weak, tepid, achingly pure little minds, with their passively blood-soaked hands.


  • But in this context, it’s about the loss of information, getting scrambled inside a black hole and then VERY slowly radiating back into space as gibberish.
    It’s a point where thermodynamics, entropy, Relativity and the quantum realm create a paradox - classical physics states that information supposedly cannot be destroyed… and yet in this extreme environment, it IS destroyed.
