I wrote the lyrics to this song about my doggie whose name is Freddie and how brave he is and then had AI make it into a real song. I play it for him and he loves it.
I know I am posting something embarrassing but it’s funny so here it is.

We’re in a really weird historical for the Left, which always called for revolutionary change. Or at least “big structural reforms,” as Elizabeth Warren used to say. But a previously unthinkable Right has gained power & defending the old status quo is the Left’s best strategy.

I feel bad for young rebels coming of age in the midst of this paradox. When I was in college we got to first elect Obama then protest Obama, knowing that he was like a parent who gave us unconditional love who we could rebel against yet still depend on taking care of us.

Now instead of Obama, a parent who gives us the freedom to rebel precisely because they care about our legitimate rebellion, we have a …look it’s an attempt to establish fascism in America and globally …that’s not a metaphor. Those are just the stakes. This moment is too real.

Am I the only one who thinks British accents are just cheesy?
Like when you are watching a show, it’s like, I get it — you are a wizard who also solves crimes. But can’t you just speak English like normal people?

But mankind wasn't always so lucky. Less than a century ago men and women did not have easy access to the puzzle boxes within them.

The bounties of space, of infinite outwardness, were three: empty heroics, low comedy, and pointless death.
Outwardness lost, at last, its imagined attractions.

Republicans are reaching into our lives to restrict freedoms we’ve always taken for granted: when we decide to have a family, what books our children can read, even what websites we can visit. Volunteer to fight back at mobilize.us/durhamcountydemo…

I got off this platform after getting 70K followers and then it was turned into 4chan. I’m just here again to tweet that recovery from Twitter/X addiction is possible. Move the app from where it was on your Home Screen and then you won’t be as compulsed to click on this garbage

You have become addicted to clicking on a particular space on your phone screen. Just bury the Twitter/X app somewhere else and replace it with the app you wish you would open more often to be more productive
