I almost regret not living long enough to witness the whole thing. But I’m so glad to be a History buff so I can see what’s unfolding without actually witnessing it. My only question is, what would have happened with the Roman Empire when the autophagy began in earnest, had they had nukes?

When you think it can’t get worse, they monetize your god…🤣

Happy Fourth of July. Shaping up to be your last.

There seems to be a new definition of “milf” and I missed the memo. A milf now, apparently, is a woman with body fat, skin textures, pubic hair and NO botox on the lips. In short, the opposite of a Barbie doll. With a life. And an actual sex life. The kind that climaxes.

Little reminder that what’s happening there that wasn’t supposed to happen there is a fraction of what happens all around the world that’s not supposed to happen all around the world - but america makes it happen! Or, “Welcome my son, Welcome to the machine” 😋

A free country?…

Watching all these arrests by ICE, of anybody they feel like. It kind of makes sense: maybe after so long enabling israel, to the point where it becomes a toxic, pariah state, best kept away like any other infection, america becomes like them and will require the same sanitary measures: keep away!

It might be well, now that you’re pressing for a “better america, like it used to be”, to consider what you mean. Cause you see, this golden, proud nation your elders remember - was built on the corpses of the rest of the world, and fed on immense suffering. Maybe you wanna think of something else?

I think in our case we need to take it up to Diderot levels. #NoKings

Finally

When will somebody put Boeing out of the airplane business altogether? And maybe put the whole board in jail for life? Dude, I wouldn’t ride a skate built by those fuckers!

Californians are ballsy but what you need is a bunch of Chilean protesters with newspaper-lined denim jackets and backpacks full of rocks and molotov cocktails. Just sayin.

People talk about the Nick Frost casting as disappointing, as if rehashing that whole stupid fairy story after a couple of years, expressly to milk more money, wasn’t the lamest thing american remakes of japanese horror movies.

With america going bonkers, which is to say, to the logical result of their ethics; and europe still playing the post-war game against the nonexistant soviet union - you kids should give the environment a brief rest and worry about the nukes flying to and fro soon. Gotta have a planet to save.

A question of morals: do germans celebrate their WWII veterans and fallen in combat? Do the japanese? Do we approve if they do? Is the sacrifice offered by the soldier any less worthy if the cause he fought for is immoral?

Karma really IS a bitch, eh, genocide joe?

Trusty old Dakar, trusty old mill. Both gone now.

More bikes this time. Going down the twistiest canyon in southern Brasil.

I used to be a photographer, back in the days of film. Used medium square and large formats. You can see some of it on the “foto” app. It’s a cool place, much more civilized than your average social net thing. There, and on IG I am “ric.martins.art” Salut!
