do you know what a turtle is, Leon?

“A Lady and Her Horse on a Snowy Day” by French artist Felix Thiollier.

if we survive the ai apocalypse and the great depression reboot roaring around the bend, if we survive the next pandemic and the holy war over Palestine, if we survive the self-inflicted black mirrorification of society that started with the innocent little like button on facebook, if we dodge the descent into a minority report reality, if we stop the Texas handmaid’s tale and cancel the civil war sequel nobody really wants and somehow don’t make Idiocracy into a documentary, if we start building homeless shelters instead of detention camps, if we come together with NATO to save Ukraine and the Baltic states from Russia, if we keep our eyes on the prize and realize what MLK jr was actually talking about, twenty years from now when Mayor Pete is president and vice president Crockett is prepping to run for her first term and AOC or Zohran Mamdani is secretary of state making peace with both China and the republic of Taiwan and we have universal healthcare and all of north and central America enjoys the open borders free trade and freedom of movement cooperative model of the european union...

god help us if we don’t stop the data centers from drinking all of our fresh water.

I know that’s a lot of big ifs there but we can do this shit all of it, we just have to want to.

if we just breathe and keep it together and weather the storms on every horizon, our grandkids will look back on this decade and the last with the same what the fuck beffudlement that germans today must feel when they look back on the Weimar Republic.

winter is coming and the long night is full of knives.

but rule 47 says that rule 34 applies to all things beautiful, too.

peace.
