not to get too dark/heavy but you see this shit on the new york metro now? we've entered a stage of shock doctrine where you don't even need the shock to do the doctrine anymore. you can just roll out heavy security measures with zero pushback anymore and it's just normal
been thinking all morning about that shit
I've been riding and looking at what's outside the window and mixed with the Metro shit, it feels like a prequel to Parable of the Sower. Such a good book and proves Octavia Butler was prescient.
It's disturbing because as third spaces are closing, we're losing any place where you can really exist without being under surveillance/the threat of death.
It's funny too because I was also thinking about Midgar from the original Final Fantasy 7. The train checkpoints and the ability the elites have to remove personhood from entire communities.
I visited my parents last night and didn't go off on any unhinged rants about geopolitics. I'm a little bit proud of myself.
I hope your road trip is going smoothly and the destination is good.
Nice! I'm trying not to politics everybody in the car.
I just made it to the destination!! Thanks
I think cabbage is underappreciated.
I agree. I like it in tacos. It's a crime they treat it like packing peanuts but for food.
on a less serious note, you like quesadillas? what do you put on yours?
I love them. I want a vegan cheese that melts well because I miss them so much. I put on chipotle mayo, mushrooms, and maybe another veggie that doesn't steal the show. And tapatio for dipping.
Also, it's fucked up that services get shitty just so you switch to another service for a higher price. Unrelated, but fuck phone service providers.
