       Made a trip back to the US for the first time in a couple of years. A few things that stand out:- there are so many fucking ads everywhere- infrastructure is crumbling everywhere I look- cops cops cops cops cops. I saw more cops within a few hours of getting back to the states than I’ve seen in a few years of living abroad. Americans generally have no idea how hyper-policed they are.

       @HeavenlyPossum The citizens of one of the most policed countries in the world proclaiming themselves as "The Land of the Free" is some 1984 Orwellian "Freedom is Slavery" type stuff.

       Family put on the rose parade this morning and the commentators sang the praises of the B2 bomber that flew overhead (“it can drop conventional and nuclear munitions anywhere in the world!”) and then a marine band (“synchronized displays like this really help build national unity!”).If I scripted shit like for a parody it would feel too on the nose.
