Absolutely criminal. We’ve spent decades giving magical thinking corporatist, religious, and racist monsters inches. Now, they’ve taking the mile.
Either we stand against this horde of nihilistic maniacs enriching themselves and accelerating idiotic end times mythology, or we perish.

The 75 years American century was old ideas: dominance and extraction. It was never about shared prosperity and mutual uplift. That’s why things are collapsing. There was genuine opportunity for a better world after World War II. Instead, people chose a remix of the suffering they have always known.

My mind boggles every time I hear someone I enjoy listening to say, “BlueSky people” with derision and/or amusement, implying Twitter is still clearly where all the serious people are posting. I have a Twitter account. I almost never use it because the site owner is an evil, corporatist fascist!

This seems far too stupid to be a thing that really happened, but I really, really, really want this to be a thing that actually happened and keeps happening! 😆

Hopefully, this is the last time MM93/Ducati enter a race second in the standings! 2027 has all the makings of something special.
Health issues squelched a Stoner/Marquez era at HRC, but it looks like Father Time won’t quite deny us at least a couple of years of Marquez/Acosta at Ducati. 🤩

Assuming Bez goes all-in at T1, have to think MM93 will be mentally prepped to let him run wide then outside-inside the exit. Moto2 race has me paranoid. Surely the racing gods won’t see Martin getting a gift like Manu today! 👀
