Project 2025’s radical mandate has collapsed into chaos. As public backlash mounts, the MAGA loyalists who built it are abandoning ship in a wild, score-settling spectacle of self-defeat.

“The brutal reality of politics alone would probably be intolerable without drugs.”

Some observations age badly. The dangerous ones don’t age at all.

Solid words of wisdom from #HunterSThompson

I confess bias, as I've always been a huge fan of the inventor of #GonzoJournalism & writer extraordinaire.

Portrait and quote of Hunter S. Thompson "The elite meticulously engineer culture wars so the starving peasants violently butcher each other over trivial, fabricated differences. As long as the slaves are completely soaked in each other’s blood, the master’s castle remains completely untouched"

When Dinner Goes Gonzo
If I could have dinner with any author, it would be Hunter S. Thompson. I’d have a million questions about writing, Gonzo journalism, and the stories behind the stories. 🍽️✍️

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

There are backpacks... and then there are war bags.

Mine are from Tom Bihn, and while the name sounds dramatic, it's not for war—it's for journalism.

In the world of gonzo journalism, the story doesn't wait for perfect conditions.

On this day in 1937 #HunterS.Thompson was born. I never could get into his work. Maybe I'm just an old fart. Even though the movie version of Fear & Loathing was panned by critics, I tried to watch it, but it's the only Benicio Del Toro movie I couldn't sit through. #books #gonzojournalism #writing

BUY THE TICKET. TAKE THE RIDE.
Hunter S. Thompson #BOTD Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride Is one of his most famous lines. This headshot, by the Paris Review is a black-and-white photo of Hunter S Thompson. He is wearing large aviator, sunglasses and staring in your direction. Photo, circa 1950s Hunter S. Thompson (1937–2005) was an American journalist and author, famous for pioneering Gonzo journalism. In this highly personal and subjective reporting style, the writer is an active participant in the story rather than a detached observer.

Ralph Steadman talks ink splatters, Gonzo journalism, Hunter S. Thompson, and ageing as an artist in this candid interview. #RalphSteadman #GonzoJournalism #FearAndLoathing #InkArt #PoliticalSatire #Illustration
Beautiful Splatter: the World of Ralph Steadman and the visceral nature of his ink
Ralph Steadman: The Art of Resistance The Gonzo Legacy and Beyond Transmission 402: Interview with Ralph Steadman Ralph Steadman is one of those rare creators whose work sits between reportage, chaos, satire, and physical performance. To look at a piece of his art is to experience a violent, beautiful collision between ink and paper. The legendary artist and cartoonist has attacked, unmasked, and reshaped it through a brilliant turmoil of jagged lines, screaming faces, and his trademark, calculated ink splatters. His formative years were defined by a restless desire to escape stifling environments.

A Movie Inspired From A Book: #fearandloathinginlasvegas

#movieandtvchallenge A Movie Inspired From A Book: #fearandloathinginlasvegas I've actually read the book many years ago & the movie follows the book very closely, but of course there are some minor changes. The biggest change is the ending, the book's ending was pretty anti climatic so it's pretty understandable why the ending in the movie is different. Not too different, but still... I've heard many earlier plans in adapting this book & there are two plans that really got my interest & I still wonder how those two would have looked like; 1. There's one where they planned to cast Jack Nicholson as Raoul Duke & Marlon Brando as Dr. Gonzo, but then they both got to old for the roles. 2. Director Ralph Bakshi, who made Fritz the Cat & animated version of Lord of the Rings, actually wanted to make an animated movie version of the book & wanted to animate Ralph Steadman's illustrations from the book as well. It never happend because he couldn't get the rights. That version I would have loved to see & I still want to see it! #huntersthompson #johnnydepp #raoulduke #beniciodeltoro #drgonzo #oscarzetaacosta #drugtrip #katherinehelmond #typewriter #gonzojournalism #lizardpeople #drughallucinations #garybusey #thisisbatcountry #youpeoplevotedforhuberthumphreyandyoukilledjesus #tooweirdtolivetooraretodie #justanotherfreakinthefreakkingdom #terrygilliam #movieandtvchallenge A Movie Inspired From A Book: #fearandloathinginlasvegas I've actually read the book many years ago & the movie follows the book very closely, but of course there are some minor changes.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Because chicken rights are protected by the 9th Amendment, as are all other natural rights, since before having been specified as animal rights, human rights, civil rights, & any other rights later codified!
