Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
Tell All the Truth
Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth’s superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —
— EMILY DICKINSON

Upper image of nation shows Cali as similar to North Korea.
Video looks like a war zone. A total burn out of L.A. would certainly clean up the homeless camps. I wonder where the homeless would move to next-
I don’t think the top picture is accurate. California has the same color as the ocean. The military bases near San Diego would not be blacked out. If California looked liked northern Nevada or Baja California I might believe it.
Probably be a good idea to start thinking about doing those overdue water infrastructure improvements right about now.
Was Deckard a replicant?
R Daniel: excellent !
BR dystopian LA was better than the actual LA. At least they were welling gas!
