i dont know how to say many of the things im seeing lately without feeling insulting. so ill just be insulting i guess...
lately, watching interactions between people, it seems like there are chronic, increasing levels of disconnected LARP mind. I also think this is emphasized from spending so much time outside, working with my hands, growing food, listening to topical podcasts, reading books, writing, and thinking. Im not claiming any kind of superiority here. rather i am commenting on the fruit of choices. I think what i am trying to say, is it seems like people who spend all their time online, on mainstream social media, playing video games, and interacting with AI, are losing a grounded connection to reality. In conversations, their connection to base level real seems shaky. It kinda has me concerned on the one hand, and on the other hand I am feeling even more conviction to become more grounded, more simple, more health, more sovreign.

AIPAC has lost its stranglehold on at least some American politicians.
It's about fucking time.
I'm Jewish, by the way.
The shameful, disgusting blatant racism of the fascist right extremist Israeli government morphed into gross genocide that no one can deny. After decades of abuse of innocent civilians, these fuckers finally noticed.
Netanyahu, Likud, Shas, Kach, the alphabet soup of religious lunatics and deranged violent settlers should be dragged to The Hague and locked up. Forever.
In my lifetime. When I was a kid, HIV was beyond "scary". It was the red claw of Death himself. Every queer kid back then knew someone infected or dead from HIV, if they weren't positive themselves.
We would have cheerfully committed many crimes to have this back then.

Dear Budapest police. Be consistent. You detained the man I married for carrying a device he had flown TO Hungary with via Munich with nary a problem.
It was a flashlight.
Yeah, ok, it was also a taser, a salient detail the silly man forgot about.
And he heard about this from me.
There is something about the Hungarian language that sounds very menacing to me. Whether it was my father telling me I was in big trouble, or airport police doing paperwork, both sound like doom.

Brainwashing & propaganda has been going on in the US public schools, private schools, colleges, & universities since the 1970's.
From "A Nation At Risk" released in 1983 under President Reagan:
"...If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war. As it stands, we have
allowed this to happen to ourselves. ..."
I've already sung my praises for Fresh Blood Christens the Udonge, however there's another track tied to Reisen in Hero of Ice Fairy. The Tale of the Bunnia.
It's a track that plays before the fight and introduces why Reisen is acting how she is, and it sets the mood very well. At all moments the track sounds like it's putting in effort to keep in line. Like there's something driving it to fall apart. Does especially well paired up with her fight track, as the fight track (and fight itself) gives the feeling she's given in to her instincts and let any pretenses or rules drop.
