Don’t waste your energy on people who won’t listen.

Look for people, places and groups that support your own beliefs.

If you can’t find those people at work, then just be nice to them but not too close. Them in your free time, use your energy to support those people and groups you believe in.

Don’t waste your time on those who won’t listen.

Perfectly normal for us to do that to lions and elephants

Absolutely hilarious when aliens do that to us.

Beautiful, I was waiting for an engineer to do the calculations … so in layman’s terms, clench your urethra, push your bladder as hard as unhumanly as possible and hope to everything that is holy that your entire urinary tract doesn’t explode before your urine leaves your body.

That’s a nice belief of hers but it also neglects the negatives of what that implies. If each of us had infinite variations of ourselves somewhere in a multiverse, then there are varieties where the two of you continue living a nice happy life together even if one of you dies.

However, there would also be versions where you never met and got together with other people, other versions where you hate each other, other versions where you go through terrible things together or by yourselves, versions where one of you or both are drug addicts living in the street, versions where you become millionaires but don’t want to share your wealth, versions where you become supreme leaders and act like despotic authoritarian rulers or versions where both of you just never meet or connect with one another.

If there are infinite variations of ourselves out there, not all of them will be happy comforting stories. Maybe this is one of those versions that are good. Maybe this is one of the best versions.

It won’t be a test of how much he can continue to make sense

It will be a test to see how far his supporters will be willing to ignore how stupid he will become

I can see him possibly making it that far … but I really don’t think he’ll be making much more sense the older he gets. He could live another 20 years, it doesn’t mean he’ll have all his marbles.

Do they really expect their orange beanbag leader to still be alive in four years? And if he still is, to still be able to know his own name or speak coherently in public?

It’s not a Salute Controversy

It’s not a hand gesture

It’s a NAZI SALUTE and if you can’t / won’t / don’t admit it or challenge it then you are enabling the problem and allow creeping Nazism and far right ideology into the public consciousness.

Germany had similar conversations in the 1930s

And if you think this is exaggeration, it all started with small steps with leaders and opponents standing by saying that no one would go that far. Until of course it was all too late.

Donald Trump Jr caught taking cocaine

I think it’s a typo this time … ‘MAGA is starting crack now’

This isn’t new and noteworthy … because we humans don’t understand human history and fail miserably to understand or remember past failings in every generation.

It’s a similar comparison to Luigi Mangione

One person was responsible for killing or leading to the deaths of thousands and possibly millions of people to an early death - no one bats an eye

One person was responsible for directly killing one other person - the whole country loses their minds

When your podcast accepts Nazis on your show … your show is Nazi propaganda

So the game begins … now everyone will start doing it and laughing at it as a joke … another step towards normalizing it.

You fight and challenge it at every step and development because you can fight now in the early stages.

Once it goes too far, no one will be able to fight it.

It’s hilarious because it is so distracting … I scroll down my page and see this loading icon and it took me several passes before I got used to it.

It’s like Pavlov’s dog … I see a loading icon and I immediately sit there and wait … for something, I don’t know what but I have to wait … I took me a few times before I got used to it.

Not an arm gesture

Anyone who keeps saying it and everyone who keeps accepting it is allowing creeping nazism and right wing ideology

It’s very disturbing because it’s creeping acceptance by massaging the message over time.

First a billionaire makes the salute

Then you get everyone to debate it

Then everyone associates it less and less to nazism

Then it’s just a gesture billionaires do

Then it’s just a gesture

Then it becomes more common

Then it becomes normal

Beautiful … let’s let everyone fight endlessly and be angry, afraid, anxious and distracted by everything and anything but the things that actually matter to people.

By the time four years rolls around, the US will be an organizational mess and completely chaotic as the climate crisis takes over everything and everyone.
