Have I mentioned that motherfucking Democrats are the enemy, they are far worse than useless, they are fully useful towards and complicit in your enshittification and anyone who uses the word "useless" as primary description of motherfucking Democrat is either stupid or a motherfucking enemy too
It's the Democrats' genocide FFS, and if anyone is freaking the fuck out about Barnard it's emmeffing professional Democrats, if the guy meant what I said, yay, if he meant Democrats didn't crack down hard enough via mayors and governors against anti-2ionist/pro-Palestinian protests eff him
"Democrats aren't technically lying when they say they'll lose elections if they move left, because actual leftist candidates will be aggressively smeared as lunatics, Russian agents and antisemites to make sure they lose by the media, by the Republicans, and" (especially, Jeff adds) "by the Democrats"

WHO'S NOT SEEING DESTROYER WITH ME AT BLACK CAT IN DC IN OCTOBER 2025?
The first two songs pre-released off Destroyer's late March 2025 new album I liked but it wasn't the standard instant love, this new third one? LOVE!
THE VILLAGE OF SLEEP
John Ashbery
Why, we must dye it then –
Would I like to stay here indefinitely? We have trees to prune, cryptograms to decode, it was all a blind running into the light – She couldn’t say the word for ‘fish’. Nor are his genes undone by what oafish submarines remain. Aye, sir, Captain Nemo, sir, we’ve spotted the junk in the roads up ahead. What! That spasm I created for my own diversion, now it’s clearly emerging out of the octopus drool that so long enshrouded it, while I, a nether spur to its district railway, am overrun with coughing doubt for the duration, yet here I must stand, a seeming enigma. Outside, life prattles on merrily, like an embroidered towel, and would probably be too weak to object if we decided to postpone the picnic until November. I hear you; the arches under the embankment are part of what I’m all about. I too was weaned from excess in some silvery age now lost in a blizzard of envelopes. How frostily jingle the harness bells! It’s all we can do to keep up with the dunce’s velocipede,
while in a neutral corner of the quarry the same binge of history is conning men’s eyes into dogged superstition. So we must make sport of it, reel in our catch while yet there’s time, but droplets are exploding in the gutter. The gambling ship ferried us away past larkspur, past concertinas, and the old name became visible again, briefly, on the building’s dusty façade. I
thought we’d lost you. No, I’m still here. Do you want to jump out a shy window? Little by little one took in the foxes’ keening: It’s all right, it’s sober, they chortled. This was just a plant, it counts only for the next time, and we in beach goggles, brilliant suspenders … The party beast in me says let’s abandon, cooler heads say dive, dive like a frog while famous night is coming on, like the blistered exterior of a sigh.
Was going to wait to post the grid below after tonight's State of the Shitshow speech which (has the potential to deserve its very own grid of outrage) I will not watch or listen to, have the grid now but not before a self-portrait of me vaguely remembering when I did not feel this ever-present frenzy of anxiety and seething that I will be living in a cardboard box down by the river by the time I'm 70 after my life savings and Social Security are stolen (provided I'm not first beaten to death in prison serving my life sentence for typing *fuck crackers* and especially *fuck christers,* you'd think my adamantly and relentlessly typing I. Hate. Motherfucking. Democrats (upgraded to MOTHERFUCKING DEMOCRATS ARE THE ENEMY in the grid below) would earn me slightly less harsh daily beatings but my jailers will be weird and creepy grievance-filled vengeful and sadistic cracker and christer white men)
Is also my daughter's birthday present to be delivered when we're in Michigan the first week of April should the world still be here then, the above just one of the dozens of layouts the two pieces, both double-sided, can make. She won't see it here, she and my son-in-law established and have maintained a media blackout of Daily Life in the Clusterfuckaboomocene in an attempt to live a semblance of a quasi-normal life in the United States of Assholes so she most definitely no longer reads this shitty blog. At the other place I've stopped listing the ingredients of each hexjeff because fuck Jeff, that guy who keeps typing I am telling you three times we are being reprogrammed, doesn't he know that it's wrong, it makes him anxious
"There’s more outrage and media coverage over Trump shouting at Zelenskyy than Israel deliberately starving Gaza by withholding humanitarian aid"
People totally underestimate how much Trump deliberately and provocatively breaking kayfabe wins him adoration and devotion from Asshole-Americans and, as or more importantly, greases the normalcy of his daily fuckton of outright deliberate lies
"This cri de coeur from Rory Stewart, a fancy part of the Anglo-American establishment, shows how the 80 years of propaganda about America's love for democracy, etc. was less about fooling the plebes than allowing the people at top to live with themselves"
"We need a term for a cultural tendency, above all in drama, where the narrative tension depends almost entirely on the characters being unbelievably, unrealistically thick, obtuse, obdurate and incommunicative. Idiodrama? Thickodrama? Writersarelazyhacksdrama? I hate it"
"Major news organizations are making a conscious choice to frame Israel’s total violation of the ceasefire agreement as Hamas rejecting it. This is a demonstrable lie & has been through the entire duration of Israel’s war against Gaza. Israel is rejecting the deal it signed"
"Trump is definitely a victory for accelerationism. Harris would have dragged out the end of American Empire. So in a sense I'm very grateful to Trump"
"Just so we're clear, announcing that you will starve a civilian population in order to alter the terms of a ceasefire deal is a flagrant war crime of the highest order. You would not know that from U.S. headlines"
"Democrats are really going to get into the streets to prolong an unwinnable war but wouldn't be caught dead at a rally to stop a genocide that has resulted in the deaths of over 200,000, mostly women and children"
"After spending years of talking about how Trump is so corrupt, so monstrous, so misogynistic, to have anyone in our party suggest that Andrew Cuomo has a role to play basically makes our leaders look like cynical do-nothings who have no morals”
"The US MAGA Nazis have declared "open season" on US Republicans not loyal to the Trump regime or Musk. Calls them an invasive species in latest genocidal speech. MAGA is going for internal cleansing to remove any remaining opposition"
"I keep thinking of the hundreds of thousands of hardwood trees downed in hurricane Helene. If we have another hot dry summer, all that timber becomes tinder, & could ignite the largest regional wildfires of the modern era. When people say climate breakdown is a polycrisis, this is what they mean"
"Democrats fractured their voter base just to help a war criminal who actively wanted Trump to win the election. They sacrificed the rights of women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people to facilitate a genocide and uphold apartheid"
"I will note that while Elon appears to be wearing a bulletproof and stabproof vest, the toddler Musk carries around as a human shield is not protected. Which would say a lot about Elon's priorities"
Old self-portrait, 2020, before the plague, from a time when canvases were tablets, reminded of it when struggling yesterday to keep my mouth shut and facial expression blank when a colleague at work expressed outrage at a video Trump released of Gaza as the Riviera of the Levant complete with shirtless Trump and Bibi on beach chairs drinking cocktails with little paper umbrellas. Biden would never do this! he/she/they, outraged, barked, neglecting to cite the joe responsible for the destruction depicted at the beginning of the video, and it occurred to me that without these grids & hexjeffs my keeping my mouth shut and face straight an impossibility
"Lawmakers in Alabama are expanding police immunity so that it's harder to sue cops for excessive force. The mask is off. Politicians want state-sanctioned violence to go unpunished. Everyone should be outraged about this. America is a fascist police state"
"Barack Obama signed $8.3 billion in cuts to SNAP. Dems didn't say a word. Joe Biden ended pandemic emergency measures resulting in 15 million Americans being thrown off Medicaid. Democrats silent. Again. The proposed cuts to SNAP and Medicaid by Republicans are draconian and inhumane. But if you're only speaking out when the GOP does it, and either ignore it or make excuses when Democrats do it, it's probably not Medicaid and SNAP you really care about"
"President of the United States posts video of him taking over Gaza with his statue for worship, dollars raining, Trump Gaza as centrepiece as he & Netanyahu chill at the beach. Ethnic cleansing rebranded as a real estate deal. Colonialist White Supremacist Zionism. Pure Evil"
⇧
"If you're old and slow like me, then that Trump Gaza video goes too quick to absorb its full insanity. So I took a few screenshots for you to digest at leisure. This is something genuinely posted by *the President of The United States Of America*.
"The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem"

Bezos announces the Washington Post editorial page will exist solely to justify Bezos' shitlordly magnificence
"Declaring that "personal liberties" are your north star in the same email where you're announcing that you're banning all views but your own from the newspaper is a helluva thing"
"One reason (of many) that the very rich are "anti-government" is that they're not reliant on any govt services because they're rich. Courier services, private attorneys, private schools, cars and taxis, private playgrounds. In their minds "no one" uses public services, because no one they know does"
For shitlibs, it's not the genocide itself - who was the president that supplied the weapons and OKed the destruction depicted? Undersold, understated, denied genocide OK, tacky celebrated genocide icky. Shitlibs are shitty
(a) call them mercenaries and (b) the pigstool knows America has always employed mercenaries to do off-the-books wetwork so what he is calling for is on-the-books wetwork with all than implies both on-the-book and off in the future
"A major factor for why we are where we are is because for the last three decades, we’ve slopped up tons of movies and TV shows instilling the idea there are actually really cool billionaires and few if any about really cool forest rangers and VA staff"
"If we do not hate the internet, what we detest is its capture, enclosure and transformation by Big Tech’s nexus of billionaire oligarchs and finance capitalists."
