Between pipelines getting jammed, the slow-motion general strike, protests everywhere all the time, Sheikh Jarrah, mass shootings every day, new covid strains in India, and just the general background noise of life getting worse and worse for almost everyone on the planet, it feels like someone tied a brick to the big "accelerate the contradictions" lever.

Anyone else felt this way lately?

    WTF someone posted this already and my terminal online brain didn’t notice. Ignore my ass. There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen"--Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

    24 News cycle means we hear about all the “nothing” happening prior to the “decades happening”. Build up to a metaphorical dam bursting.
