    Long covid isn’t a singular condition. Severe depression and anxiety are symptoms of long covid.

    I’ve been explicit elsewhere about my journey including mental health struggles from long covid. Now crawl back in your hole. 

    A decent thoughtful person might respond: Apologies, Troph. I misunderstood and made a hasty assumption. I'm glad you're better and the ketamine helped.

    Something tells me Anastasis will do otherwise.

    If our news media had a shred of its supposed leftist leanings, you'd be seeing this kind of story wherever you looked. Even if what remains of our press were purely concerned with profit, it would be inescapable. Good luck finding it anywhere but Surly. They could add to it an accounting of the billions Elon gets in government contracts. 

    Michael Corleone : Tom, wait a minute. I'm talking about a cop that's mixed up in drugs. I'm talking about a - a - a dishonest cop - a crooked cop who got mixed up in the rackets and got what was coming to him. That's a terrific story. And we have newspaper people on the payroll, don't we, Tom?

    [Tom nods] 

    Michael Corleone : And they might like a story like that.

    Tom Hagen : They might, they just might.

    Except they won't. Because they're long since non-existent or they're part of this caper.

    Surly liberals love the lies that led us into Iraq.

    This is the biggest motherfucking crock of revisionist shit. The only significant, sizable opposition to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was from the left. Sorry that your liberal neighbors only kept their No War signs up for 10 years or whatever but you're a low down, witless, lying troll that's quick to fling petty insults like duh, duh goldfish brain. You have 24,000 posts on this website. That is a sad pathetic waste of time for someone that has ever in his life said to anyone else, "go touch grass." Fuck off.

    However, as a result of plunging into that ecosystem, he now actually believes as they do.  Because he is the most gullible fucking idiot alive.  Seriously, he has no governing principles other than his narcissism.  He will fall for whatever "philosophy" is the most recent one he's immersed himself in.  And then, use his massive and undeserved wealth (and thus power) to pursue those goals in the ultimate "look at me!  I'm significant!" display.

    This is true of Dotard and many other powerful people these days. To a great extent, they're just credulous dumbshit consumers of right wing media. For instance, when someone finally sat Trump down for a few minutes to go over healthcare policy, he comes away saying "nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated." He really had just bought into the talk radio mantra that everything that's wrong in this country is because the libruls and gubment are actively fucking things up and are all that stand in the way of a perfect plan that covers everybody and costs nothing. He found out that any reform is going to involve tradeoffs and won't be perfect for everybody. He hasn't thought about it since.

    Can't wait until the newly emboldened J6 criminals hit the streets w/ their guns & bravado, feeling bulletproof due to their orange turd being back in the oval office.

    What could go wrong when they show up looking for trouble at the next gathering?

    I legitimately worry that we're soon going to have para-military death squads running around. For instance, I've dreaded the possibility that we'll have ethnic cleansing somewhere like Springfield, Ohio. Local law enforcement looks the other way. Springfield sheriff on social media: "If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you." I wonder if he'll support those Haitian immigrants or if Trump's new FBI will do anything to hinder right wing domestic terror. No bottom and remember that your worst expectations aren't anywhere near bad enough. We'll still be shocked.

    I hope we all get assigned to the same camp.

    You like jokes do ya? I got a joke for ya. Bunch of Surly posters all sittin' around in a labor camp, all wondering "how did we get here?"

  7. Hopefully those procedural protections provided defendants hold up but the point of the coming circus isn't necessarily to secure convictions or other penalties. It's for the spectacle of the investigations and Gym Jordan's hearings, to further muddy the waters and enable low information dipshits to say "derrr, they all a bunch of crooks" as Trump and the oligarchs practice unprecedented corruption in the open.

    Was feeling pretty VIP at the Fillmore last night for Frank Black. I was put on the guest list by someone in the opening band, then was gifted some drink tickets by a friend on the staff there. Show was great and I always love being in that room. What a treasure.

    I've so wanted to see him on this tour. I was still in high school when the Pixies split up originally. I saw Frank Black solo probably 8 times from '93 to '01. For most of those shows, it was strictly solo stuff. He finally started to play some Pixies songs in some of those sets. At last saw Pixies at ACL in'03 or whenever and have seen them several times since. In recent years, I've missed seeing the Frank Black solo stuff. I may yet do what I gotta do and make a trip to catch one of these dates. Doesn't look like they're adding anything else and it's not coming anywhere near Texas.

  9. Not only that but oldest Boomers are now almost 80. They're dying off plus in 4 years wouldn't  hesitate to vote for someone that promises to save their Social Security and Medicare by raising the age to 70 or 72. Gen X is a small generation and will be outvoted by Gen Z dumbshits that get their news from Rogan and might very well be persuaded to cut old people programs further just as Gen X gets old enough to collect. In the near future, slashing or even eliminating SS and Medicare may no longer be the political third rail it's been our entire lives. 

    Oh, well. Whatever. Never mind

  10. Elon said somewhere that we can expect things to get worse for a while before they start to build it back better. If they go through with even a fraction of what they're promising, it'll be catastrophic. If the process is "incomplete" and voters are angry, the oligarchs are not just going to be ok with being voted out of office in the midterms or in 2028. They're planning to come through those bad times way ahead of where they are now. Much richer and with permanent power. 

    Image of The Greasers will still be Greasers, and the Socs will still be Socs.

  11. I think the Elon, Trump alliance is going to last as long as Dotard is president, unfortunately. All Elon has to do is flatter him publicly and help him get paid to the point that he's one of the richest people in history. In return Elon gets power, all the government money he wants, and the ability to pursue his stupid projects like colonizing Mars. Meet the new oligarchs.

    If she loses, Dems may learn someday that running bad candidates doesn’t usually work.  When Biden pulled out they should have done a 1968 and had an open convention.  A stronger candidate would have emerged, even if it turned out to be her having to fight for it.  
     

     

    Great insight! '68 worked out great for the Dems!

    I have tickets to come back to US/Texas for Christmas/New Years.  I'm thinking of cancelling and just going to Bali or somewhere not as fucked.

    Good news for you. You can go pretty much anywhere else and not be as fucked. Maybe Venezuela, Gaza, Argentina, South Sudan.
