It must seem so easy to maintain fear and power by having fake enemies everywhere... but now, enemies within?
Define your terms and we'd pull through. It's lies, doublespeak, fearmongering and #disinformation - plus ego & pathology.
Ah, the incoming "enemy".... What say you, Pogo?

Is Trump Really Calling the Shots?

Just when you think it can’t get weirder or more dysfunctional …

So, just who is calling the shots/pulling the strings? (Elon? Vlad? #Project2025 ? #brainspurs on steroids?)
A fair and important question.
Anyone remember long ago - in the days before #MuskVirus - when Sir stood dancing silently with stars in his 'mind' for what seemed like forever (at a "rally"!) or imitated sex w/ a microphone (or flag), or spoke of Washington (George) taking airports?! Or a virus "hoax"?

Interesting (and free) #AI fun toy, the new gift from the Mayor of #Muskville

Anyone remember Alice and the various 'chatbots' pre Chat GPT? Fun.
Now here is #Musk and his version, finally giving up on charging premium for his #cult and now "it's free!".

So I gave it a whirl, wondering how a #MuskVirus rendering of a response might go, if its fed #truth to #TrumpVirus.
As tends to be the case with public AI chat, it's very 'cautious', ambiguous, and 'both sides'y - just like the role model it may serve.

Meanwhile... I've been drilling down on the Kerfuffle over "Morning Joe" and sidekick house-calling on Sir...

Not privy to what actually went on down in the swamps of Mar-a-lago, nor the context of whose idea it was, the goal, the "fear" or "service" or $$ - (or stay out of jail cards?) justifying the effort, etc. etc....

Right now there are many big discussions - reactions, & reflections - about #MSNBC, &/or its management or individual journalist/reporters - and same for CNN, NBC, Fox, et al - plus the nonstop #disinformation from the bubbles of #Truth #X , and the sacred podcasts of #doublespeak spew from the Ministry of " #Truth ". Plus occasional #BrainSpur - induced #WordSalad" proclamations.

And of course - widening the lens - "the press" writ large is now anticipating the incoming dynasty of Lord #TrumpVirus and his Senators of #insanity and #nihilism, our new arbiters of #reality as sold on their own media platforms in #GQP world &or #Muskville

‘Morning Joe’ Hosts Hit Back at Critics After Jon Stewart Mocks Them on ‘Daily Show’

So I'll let Jon Stewart tie it all up.
I ended up following the wormhole of #media bias and #corporate #propaganda, etc... and ended "here".
With some context and a video, along with a much-needed smile. Enjoy!

Donald Trump SEETHES with Anger as Mick Jagger Calls Out His Idiocy

And it begins with a striking homage to some of Sir's most stupid & ignorant word salads of misinformation and delusion

Rock n' roll legend and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger probably isn't the first rockstar you'd think would get political, but when it comes to Donald Trump and the threat he poses to the entire world, it makes a lot more sense why he felt he had to speak out. Rick Strom breaks it down.

Andy Borowitz:

Although I’m not a licensed psychotherapist like George Santos, I’m here to help.

Last week I appeared on Boston Public Radio and discussed a number of topics, including how to find serenity amid the shitshow that envelops us. I hope you’ll find it useful. You can listen to my interview here. And thanks, as always, for supporting my work!

Love,
Andy
