Musically, this is not their most cohesive album. Their top 5 on Spotify is a good introduction to the hits. It's not my speed, but Uriah Heep has been consistently in my Dad's top 3 since I was a kid. He does that High Fidelity John Cusack thing where he fills empty air with "alright, top 5 70s artists in order of discovery" or something similar.

1/5, but I mistook "1st mate" for "1st officer." Still worked, but I think I watch too much Trek.

I'm proud of you! I'm proud of you for creating a space to heal yourself and others. I'm proud of you for reaching out within that space to connect with other people that need the support of a father AND the fathers that want to help (me).

Your emotional vulnerability in this space shows a maturity of character that will be necessary to confront the absence you've felt from your parents. Whether you know it or not, you are doing the work! You've already taken a stand against letting your abuse ripple throughout your life and the lives of those around you. Keep it up, kid!

Shit rolls down hill? Not in your watch!

My Thermador is no different, shitty ice maker.

I'm boldly going to drink an ale and hope for what's to come.

There are a bajillion, but maybe you are looking for a specific genre that nails it on the head.

As someone mentioned, there are thousands of social drama films that could've easily happened. The success of that type of film is selling a "day in the life" plot.

Someone else mentioned Office Space. That film is a satire, but it condenses and delivers refined representations of the banality of cubicle life that we all can easily relate to. The characters truly seem to be facsimiles of people we've known in our working lives.

Someone else mentioned Michael Clayton. It's an excellent thriller with flawed characters with believable motives that yes, it could be real. And maybe something like that has happened?

What genre will help us answer your question?

We all have to ask why this is happening, because it sure as hell isn't because of immigration or fentanyl. If the powers that be are trying to trigger another Great Depression, what is their end goal?

In the US, since the 60s, we have been steadily marching towards the complete privatization of all industries. With the current administration clearly dismantling the federal government and saying things like opening up the public parks for private interests, I think this is their end game. The first Great Depression led to strong government intervention; now, with a mere shell of a federal government, the only ones poised to act after a second Great Depression would be entrenched corporations.

They will buy all the land from bankrupt farmers and carve the US up into smaller corporate States. Individual Americans will own nothing. The corporate States will jockey back and forth to drive profits up at the expense of all natural and labor resources.

It will be hell.
