  • yeah it fuckin sucks. you dont need to believe it or not, I swear to you (it also happened to my wife, Im a US citizen and she isn’t) this was in the dublin ireland departures when you go to the states. you actually go through immigration when youre still in ireland. so you go down an escalator to a specific part of the airport thats sectioned off from the rest for this. walking up to the desk, before i had a chance to take my passport out of my bag, while I was still about 10 feet away, he TSA agent said “hello [name]” they did the same thing to my wife. its disarming as youre not expecting it. there’s no knowing where in the line the facial recognition already took place. the idea you can consent/not consent is almost certainly purely theater.



  • I quite literally remember having teachers in elementary school teaching about the holocaust/hitler and asking the class if if they could foresee this happening in the US. Every kid shoot their head and chuckled assuredly, how absurd to even consider.

    I still remember the look on Mrs. Begasto’s face of “oh yeah? so confident, I know something you don’t, I know the world in a way you are entirely naive to.” I didn’t understand why she felt that way, but I could tell she was certain about something I didn’t get. The closer we edge to a fearful, uneducated public thinking a bully king is what would be good for the country and the world the more I find myself thinking about Mrs. Begasto’s worried smirk.











  • id be pretty sure that the broadband expansion to rural areas projects in the biden administration was working on will grind to a halt if they havent already.

    how maga people watch musk and dismantle public services and give billions of dollars in subsidies to musk’s businesses and still think they’re fighting for them is just otherworldly levels of cognitive dissonance management
