Why are we such crap

You ever been in a car accident? Or need anything important from a government agency? It takes these companies/entities forever to process anything for you As if you can just wait around without a car, or a medication, or a form you asked for to continue living a normal life. Like it's YOUR fault some asshole crashed into YOU

It really makes me question Why are we such crap to each other?

We used to care about each other's well-being Now the only thing that matters is that every company is making as much money as they possibly can from you And we all just roll with it

Well I never agreed to this. Please show me what part of the social contract I never signed Stipulated that I and every other living thing around me Defer to these things we call corporate entities Tell me who decided they should come first And who all everyone else agreed to it. Cuz I didn't.

You dig?

Our Journey, Our Fight, Our Hope

Hello, and welcome to this space where I share my family’s journey—one filled with challenges, perseverance, and hope.

I’m a parent navigating the complex realities of my son’s medical needs and the struggles with healthcare and the child protective services (CPS) system in the U.S. Our story isn’t always easy to tell, but it’s one I feel compelled to share.

Why I’m Sharing

• To Connect: If you’re struggling too, you’re not alone. Let’s build a community where we can lean on each other.

• To Advocate for Change: It’s time we shine a light on the systemic issues that make these journeys harder than they need to be.

What You Can Expect Here

• Honest accounts of our experiences navigating medical care and advocating for my son.

• Updates on our journey, including both the challenges and the victories.

• Insights into the healthcare and CPS systems, from a parent’s perspective.

How You Can Help

• Follow and Share: Spread the word about this space to anyone who might relate or want to help.

And I just completely abandoned a 5000+ word essay on my thoughts about “after the election.” I was grinding, it was flowing, but then I realized, pretty much everything in this essay is more rehash of older ideas already hashed out over a three year span. I am just done doing that. I feel like even though there is a lot to say about what, how, why democrats lost the way they did and keep losing is just me kickin’ the dying, soon to be dead, that is progressive-woke, into the grave, but a deeper and darker one. So why bother? We all know what, how, why. We saw it. We lived it. We hated it. We voted it out. No reason to elaborate on the specifics. They are still not listening. The losers that double down are on an island all by themselves talking to air, posting to no one on bluesky. Spewing their “view” to a very small minority while the majority either stops watching or only watches for the unhinged meltdowns. There just isn’t a point. Besides. I have 2 to 4 years to be hyper-critical on what the new regime is going to do and I am sure I will have something to say about it, just like everyone else. I still have plenty of content I can draw from: AI, God, AI is God, God is AI, Rock and Metal Subgenres, more on Conceptual Horror, Is reality even real? Album, film review, breakdowns. Fiction, oh my gosh, fiction. Fiction actually pays the bills. I don’t need to write about identity politics, both the winning and losing sides. I said it before, it didn’t matter who won. Us, the people, will lose. I still have yet to see anything that makes me change that perspective. My cynical nature is still quite sound. I still believe the light at the end of the tunnel is just you waving you to go back. I at least applaud the winning side for trying to fix a sinking pirate ship with Popsicle sticks. I felt the breath of fresh air most felt. I heard that loud sigh. A glance over my shoulder to see the hopemonkey. Can they succeed? Well, they will try. I tend to agree with them more than the latter. That is why I did what I did with my vote. I still have issues with the winning side of this but not nearly as much as I do with the losing side. If I have to pick a side I choose the side that hurts me the least in all respects and buries the other side. However, spite. There is that…

These days modern discourse is less about understanding and more about who can shout the loudest. This is an ego-driven circus, performing for applause while tribalism runs the show. It's all projection—identity politics at its finest. Left, right, center, black, white, yellow, red, blue—it’s the same game, just with different colored jerseys. Nobody’s clean, no one’s blameless, no one is innocent. It’s branding, not beliefs. Existentialism whispers in the background, reminding us how meaningless most of it is—especially the outrage. Let’s face it: most of this outrage isn't about fixing anything. It's about influence, it’s about power, it’s about proving you're the “good one” in a society that couldn't care less and has even less “good ones” in it. Real progress?  Yeah, we’ll see about all that. Lately it’s been dead on arrival when people care more about their vibe and how the outside views them than the viability of actual solutions. What they call “progress” is often just running backward and slapping a fancy label on it called “progressivism.” Here’s the truth no one wants to admit: outrage is a drug. It’s not about justice or change. It’s performative, addictive, and pointless. It’s screaming into a digital abyss while real problems fester. And curiosity? Forget it. That died the second we all decided comfort in our echo chambers was better than engaging with the uncomfortable.

Hope, if you squint hard enough, might still be alive. But let’s not kid ourselves—it’s mostly used as bait. Hope sells. Hope manipulates. And in the hands of really bad actors, it’s just another trick to keep us playing a rigged game. It’s like rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship and calling it innovation. Cancel culture? Yeah, both sides are in on that racket as well. It’s not about accountability; it’s about control. Say the wrong thing, think the wrong thought, laugh at the inappropriate joke, and you’re canceled. Both sides love a good purge—it’s tribal behavior, plain and simple. And if you’re clinging to facts? Good luck. Those are as rare as curiosity. Today’s facts are facts, get this, till they’re not. We live in a society where people actually believe thinking something is real by default without actually validating its authenticity or not. Be it a thing or even a concept. How many times have you heard this nowadays? We’re together, till we’re not. It’s fun, till it’s not. It’s worth it till it’s not. It’s a thing, till it’s not. Our attention fixated on it either way has zero consequence to it being real or not, by default. What we’re left with are “facts” that are twisted into unrecognizable shapes to fit narratives that only reinforce the self-delusional tribe. Truth doesn’t matter. Just the tribe. The game is rigged to keep you fighting while nothing changes. Just for the tribe.

Schools are now battlegrounds for ideological supremacy, with “progress” being shoved down throats like it’s the gospel. For the Tribe. Except it’s not progress; it’s indoctrination in a shiny package. The elites are clueless, disconnected from the lives of the people they claim to lead. Credentials don’t equal wisdom, and guess what? People noticed. They noticed so much they came out in droves.  They’re saying, “No, thanks; go fuck yourself.” The Woke movement? It’s good at making noise, elevating minority issues to mainstream status like everyone’s on board when most weren’t and aren’t. Coercion isn’t progress—it’s manipulation. And the worst part? It’s all underpinned by the same human flaws: greed, hatred, power-lust, codependency, narcissistic-sociopathy. These aren’t ideological problems. They’re human problems, and they’re not going away. The 76,728,186 people who voted for Trump weren’t just casting ballots. They were saying, “This system is broken.” It’s not about left or right; it’s about a system that’s failing everyone. Both sides have bad ideas repackaged, and everyone pretends its gourmet sweet cakes when it’s just dressed-up poop.

So here we are, stuck in a cycle of outrage, tribalism, and stagnation. We’ve traded curiosity for conformity, dialogue for memes, relationships from an app and progress for branding. It’s a sinking ship, and the captain’s arguing over what color the lifeboats should be: brown, blue or pink? But hey, at least the memes are funny, right? The TikToks of Liberals melting the fuck down in their cars are entertaining, but also it is very sad people are actually like this. Even if they are living it up for the camera. Stop pretending your vote is some part of a magic fix for this. It won’t. Stop wasting your energy trying to “save the world” from itself.The world doesn’t care. They are too busy checking their likes and hearts on the media that isn’t so social. Find what matters to you—family, love, laughter—and hold onto it like it’s the last shred of sanity in an insane reality.

The rest? Noise. Don’t be noise.

Life’s too short to argue with clowns. Let the circus burn while you enjoy what’s real. Because in the end, we’re all compost. Make your moments count before you’re part of the pile. When we are part of the pile, it won’t matter what God you believe, color your skin was, whether or not you took it up the ass or like vagina. It really doesn’t matter. I know, how inconvenient for the minority, who we all now can point, snicker and laugh at, like we all wanted to from the beginning. It is no longer weird to not go along with the progressive plan. That is the old normal and how great it tastes that the limbs have been cut off. However, the head is still attached. The new normal should be giving value to learning. Real learning…

In January 21, 1980, Isaac Asimov wrote for his Newsweek column “A Cult of Ignorance/My Turn.” Source in the URL: 

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge. We have a new buzzword, too, for anyone who admires competence, knowledge, learning and skill, and who wishes to spread it around. People like that are called “elitists.” That’s the funniest buzzword ever invented because people who are not members of the intellectual elite don’t know what an “elitist” is, or how to pronounce the word. As soon as someone says “elitist” it becomes clear that he or she is a closet elitist who is feeling guilty about having gone to school. I believe that every human being with a physically normal brain can learn a great deal and can be surprisingly intellectual. I believe that what we badly need is social approval of learning and social rewards for learning. We can all be members of the intellectual elite and then, and only then, will a phrase like “America’s right to know” and, indeed, any true concept of democracy, have any meaning.”

Isaac Asimov once slammed society's growing love affair with ignorance, warning that too many folks mistake democracy for "my dumb opinion is just as good as your informed one." He mocked the distrust of experts, like saying, “Who needs a pilot? I’ve seen Top Gun twice!” Asimov stressed education was the only antidote to this nonsense but feared we’d rather binge gossip than learn facts. His cynicism oozed: in a world run by science, we can’t afford to act like cavemen with Wi-Fi. Basically, he thought stupidity wasn’t just annoying—it was a civilization-ending event waiting to happen. If he only knew…

“Yeah. Yeah, I got bad news for you. They don't have a monopoly on stupid. You wear "Queers for Palestine" T-shirts... (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) ...and masks two years after the pandemic ended. And you can't define "woman." I mean, person who menstrates. You're the teachers' union education party, and you've turned schools and colleges into a joke. You just lost a crazy contest to an actual crazy person. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING)” —Bill Maher, YouTube posting Nov 15th, 2024.

The world’s a dumpster fire of tribal outrage, created by the very ignorance that claims it fights against, and TikTok meltdowns—but hey, maybe while the world burns, you’ll find a nice spot on the beach to eat that apple and just say, FUCK… Stay curious, stay human—hope might just survive the dive.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone…

Is the US Political System Broken Beyond Repair?

Let’s get real. Has American democracy hit a point where it’s no longer functioning for the people? 🌍 The endless gridlock, rising political extremism, and influence of big money are leaving many asking if the system still works. 🏛️

Why does it feel like both parties care more about power than people? The gap between Democrats and Republicans has widened into a chasm, making compromise almost impossible. From healthcare to gun reform, real solutions seem farther away than ever. And with voter suppression and gerrymandering rampant, is every vote truly equal anymore?

Some argue that we’re living in a broken system rigged to benefit the elite. Is it time to dismantle and rebuild? Or can this divided political landscape still deliver real change?

Let’s debate: Can US politics be saved, or is it beyond fixing? 🔥👇

The fact most colleges REQUIRE you to stay in dorms, yet make you pay thousands on top of tuition, and also pay for food, and living and books, is such a scam

Arizona hospital on brink of collapse after spending $20 million on migrant care: 'Nobody has a solution'

Story by Taylor Penley • 1h ago

Every hospital, school, government office is facing the same problem. What little money is allotted for social services, education budgets, is take up with the economic migrants who have a myriad of issues and are not self-sufficient. The burden of an extra 5 million people in one year has been catastrophic.

if we took more care of each other

we would be able to do more for each other

also not rocket science

[hey-its-moss]

Without the organisation of capitalism we wouldn't be where we are now. But the fact that we pressure a systemic system on the psyche and speed people progress at as a means to work ourselves to our own destruction doesn't sit right with me. We slide people through a system that pushes the beliefs that in order to be successful or to mean something that you need to work at the same pace as the others, or that you need to reach a certain IQ or understand a specific material. It's reached the point that our society is so sorted and systemic that on top of the fact that people cannot express freedom and pick the path and speed they should travel at, that we also sort people into the wrong categories and in order to stay afloat people pretend to have skills they don't have; so in this aspect are we more so harming the functionality of society. It's also messed up that we measure somebody's worth based on a series of tasks that don't even represent a quarter of the knowledge that the world has to offer.

On today’s news! It is scorching hot and the cherry on top is the dust coming from the Sahara Desert. Be sure to close your windows and clean indoors so that the allergies do not knock you out. The only nice detail is it will impact visibility and it will block them’ haters for you. Are you sleeping like you used to? Because I am not thanks to these mysterious annoying fireworks popping non-stop. So far, Katy Perry is not involved and DiBlasio suggests to ‘crackdown’ on suppliers. If it was not enough joking around, Mr. Donald Dickerson Trumpet did it again by calling the Covid19 the “Kung Flu” once more during his unnecessary rally. So far, staff members, part of the rally, tested positive. The pandemic does not stop there, 80% of Peru’s residents in central Amazon are infected and Germany imposed a new lockdown in an area that is close to a meat processing factory that has been struck by the outbreak. Are you still complaining about wearing a mask? Remember, doctors wear it for endless hours, and they cannot even complain because the infections keep happening. So, MASK ON and moving forward: BREONNA TAYLOR. Remember her? Murdered by Brett Hankinson, Jonathan Mattingly, and Myles Cosgrove, police officers who warrantless entered her apartment. Protests are still happening, the big media stopped covering the stories, but we will not back down. In Lagos, Nigeria the situation is bad too since they are fighting two pandemics at a time, and the second one is rape. As mentioned by Dr. Anita Kemi DaSilva-Ibru “Rape is an epidemic in this country”. Maybe the system is not broken but was built that way. Let us change, use our voices, keyboards, networks, and spread the word. If you are looking for some entertainment, the Dominican debate for senators happened. No further comments, your honor. Heads up, baseball fans! The 2020 MLB season is requesting players to report to Spring Training by July 1st! Oh boy. New Brunswick researcher rediscovered an ‘extinct’ harlequin toad, bringing hope to the amphibian world, Kero!  Let me give music to your ears, graduate Madisen Hallberg was signing the national anthem and a wandering man decided to join her. It was no other than Emmanuel Henreid, from the Oregon opera. Way to go, congrats grad! Today is Tuesday, June 23, 2020. Day unknown of quarantine. ​

(From 7/4/2024) As I continue to retrospectively convert my written blogs to A/V monolog/podcast-style for a more slipstream approach with my written works. In July I started to get mental and emotional fatigue from our current political landscape, bickering over who is “less-worse” to lead our decaying society. This blog dives into the frustrating, binary political landscape we’re stuck with, where both sides seem to fail us. I’ve tried to understand the madness, but it’s all just fear-mongering wrapped in media spin by people who think of themselves more important to the species than they actually are. This isn’t about picking sides anymore. It's about realizing the system is broken—piss or poop, we’re stuck choosing between bad options. It’s exhausting. After I wrote this I began shifting my focus away from this madness to what I really care about—horror and sci-fi. Let’s get real: the world is dark, nihilistic, and full of existential dread, and I’m here for it. If you want to know more, dive into the 2,388 spoken words of unfiltered thoughts. Stay curious. Stay critical. Don’t be a narcissistic-sociopathic clown… Enjoy Ascende tuum…

[gloomycrayon]

a couple days ago the thought occurred to me, that „cancel culture“ is a lot similar to the concept of heaven and hell, demons and angels and suchlike,

At the beginning of time, you get created as a pure being of light, an angel, “innocent” and pure, with the purpose of spreading peace and being perfect right away despite never having been told the rules. The slightest mishap or mistake, and you get exiled without mercy and you fall, doomed to be evil for the rest of your existence. And on top of that if you’re not evil “enough”, in the eyes of whomever is in charge, you get reprimanded or even destroyed.

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.��
