Life in the Empire

We don't need another / a new discussion to prove it.

It is as it is.

Let this "fred" (discussion thread) live under the theme .......

long live this family

brothers, sisters, brethern, dogs, cats and birds, ants and flees, water and air and gas and Clare and Jim and him and the window Simm (??) and you and me and he and she and we and them and us and puss (???) and fish and the dish (it's on) and paper and pen.

Yip.

Hey kids!  I'd kinda like to invite the "triberals" over here.  It's a loose gaggle of hard-core reprobates that coagulated like on Smirking Chimp.  It's a spin-off from the SLC Tribune -- "Discutions ouverte" on the Discus platform.  What say you all?   

I won't post a link until I hear from yall.  Seems like the same kinda freak-out-cos-Bush/Trump coagulation.   

Sounds go to me. Was just hoping for more action here....

We could use some new blood. Let's do it!

Where's BO?   

I'm here. Ready to be obnoxious when required.

Hmmmm good question. I'll check on fb

Everybody seems to be hung up on Russiagate... which is boring and goes nowhere.  So now trying to get this format to embed and show flight as it was finally meant to be.

The noise you hear, of course, are the fans.  Until there's anti-grav, this probably as quiet as flying's gonna get.  

Your link is faulty - led to 404 Not Found - I was able to copy paste it to get the video though.

Looks like an overgrown drone - with the human on board rather than on ground.

Yep- this is it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoFQ1NTwy04    

Won't embed... but the edits and camera positions give you sense of flying the thing.  Looks a lot like my old back yard.  

I'm sick to chunks of hearing how fucking awful "Trump" is.  More advanced species of plants know how fucking awful Trump is.  Meanwhile, our collective memory of "911" has been officially relegated to the memory hole.  What does that mean?  it means that the "war on terror" (like the "war on drugs") has become "normative," and accepted part of "reality."   Even the "Discutions ouverte" kids ask, "...how are we going to do anything about climate change until we get rid of Trump?"   

This is really low-hanging fruit... even for ground-dwelling insects... much less any signifying monkeys.  Bust grandma's zit.  Then her cancer will go away and she'll live forever.  Right.  Look how they swallowed that Russiagate shit. They'll cheat the Bern (once again) because they don't wanna alienate the (mythical) "swing voters."  I haven't seen such gate-keeping pom-pom waving centrist moderate shit since Queen Teedie.    

We'll be playing fantasy football right up until the very end. because it sure as hell beats getting all anxious about important shit, like impending climate/economic/social collapse. Politics are still interesting to me, but simply as an anthropological study. If we were rational beings, we'd be electing people to help mitigate the pain of our final days on the planet. 

Exactly.  I'm in the Guy McPherson school myself... we're fucked.  Cos the clathrate and all that.  But politics is certainly a good anthropological study.  Any good capitalist could see that the MBA biz-skool model of "cut-open-the-golden-goose-get-ALL-the-eggs-at-once-and-save-on-goose-food" model of "profit maximization" was totally fucked.  But "political correctness" made torture "enhanced interrogation" just like looting became "free market capitalism."
