The year that was (awful)

Not gonna lie, this one is pretty raw. Todd and Kerouac rehash some of the biggest ongoing trends and news stories of the last year. If you were on Earth for the last year, you know that none of it was good. You know what is good, though? Donating to abortion funds at https://abortionfunds.org/  

Colorado Springs

The hate parade aimed at the LGBTQ community reached its inevitable conclusion Saturday night, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. Stay safe out there, folks. Donate to abortion funds at https://abortionfunds.org/ Music: Nine Inch Nails Ghosts I/tracks 1 & 6; God is /Poisson

The red wave that wasn’t

How's everybody holding up after the midterms? Did we dodge a bullet or was the bullet always a myth?  Donate to abortion funds at https://abortionfunds.org/

Elon Musk buys Twitter

Like the world wasn't bad enough. The richest guy on the planet deals with his insecurity by buying Twitter and the rest of us pay the price. We're staying for now, but we don't have to like it. Donate to abortion funds at https://abortionfunds.org/

Sinema is trash

There's a reason Mitch McConnell called Kyrsten Sinema the most effective first-term senator he's seen during his tenure ... and it isn't because she's doing anything to help her party. Donate to abortion funds at https://abortionfunds.org/

The Queen and Trump

It's been a weird week here in the Dystopian States of America. The whole country got worked up over the death of a monarch and a fake tweet went viral. OK, that last part happens all the time, but it doesn't make it any better. Follow "Kafka Jones" at https://letterboxd.com/kafkajones/activity/ Donate to abortion funds at https://abortionfunds.org/

’Woke’ Middle Earth and Westeros?

There's a whole bunch of people getting big mad over brown people existing in their fantasy content. It doesn't help that social media incentivizes that hate.  Follow "Kafka Jones" at https://letterboxd.com/kafkajones/activity/ Donate to abortion funds at https://abortionfunds.org/

Good news?!?!

Yeah, the world sucks. But every now and then a guy like Alex Jones gets taken to the cleaner or Donald Trump has his precious Mar-a-Lago raided and things seem a little brighter. Plus, Kansas took a stand to support abortion ... like what is even happening?

Golf’s blood money bonanza

Why is a Saudi-backed golf league throwing around impossible amounts of cash to some of the world's best golfers? It sure seems to be a bid to "sports-wash" their awful reputation on human rights. And Donald Trump is more than happy to help. Follow Kerouac at https://letterboxd.com/kafkajones/activity/ Donate to abortion funds at https://abortionfunds.org/
