"As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action...Words are used to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests." Gore Vidal, Imperial America, 2004
Compilation of some of the footage of the no Kings protests across the US by u/oneoftheleastofthese in GlobalNews I was at one protest in my respective city and I was really happy with the turnout, which was bigger than a BLM protest held at that same location in town in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd in 2020. The level of energy was amazing. As I have probably stated before, showing up matters.
It's another day that ends in y. So, today, I am giving you a mix of humor (Seth Meyers), news (Ari Melber) and will chase it with some dry sarcastic humor (CityNerd). Seth Meyers, with an assist from Amber Ruffin, covers more of the craziness in the news. The first minutes are spent on Trump's disastrous interview by Elon Musk, which went about as bad as one would expect: Ari Melber on the Trump campaign's continuing meltdown, including the campaign's attempt to run away from an issue the GOP pushed for decades: banning abortion. Turns out that bans and threats of jail time for the women seeking to terminate pregnancies are very unpopular across much of the political spectrum. Hmm. Who knew. Here's the segment: CityNerd eviscerates Project 2025 apologists for sport: It does appear that I have some visitors who return, so for all two of you, I will keep on posting as time permits. Cheers! Update: One for the road on Trump's disastrous Twitter/X interview:
