“The man who used to speak
Performs a cute routine
Feel a little patronized
Don’t feel bad, they found a way inside your head
And you feel a bit misled
It’s not that they don’t care, yeah
The television’s put a thought inside your head
Like a Barry Manilow jingle
I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
A symphonic blank stare, yeah
It doesn’t make you care
Not designed to make you care
They’re betting you won’t care”

I joined TNT Radio’s intrepid host Hrvoje Moric to discuss the state of the union, as it were, for a conversation wherein we covered:
- In Colombia (my current location), a string of homicides of gringos trying to pick up women on dating apps for a bit of the old in-out-in-out, as the protagonist of Clockwork Orange would put it, and the implications of these events for social Darwinist ideology
- Techno-Hell: Germany Announces ‘Pre-Crime’ Police Unit to Target ‘Far-Right’
- Bombshell: Treasury Dept. Admits Targeting ‘MAGA’ Finances Without Due Process
- Genetically modified bananas. — bananas, which, by the way, grow everywhere in the tropical world like weeds. One can buy a wheelbarrow of bananas in Thailand or Sri Lanka or Colombia or anywhere for twenty cents. People leave them out as appetizers; they are possibly literally cheaper than dirt. There is absolutely no need for genetically modified bananas, unless that need is to patent every lifeform on earth and then sue everyone in sight for copyright infringement like Monsanto does with its GM corn
- America’s Fat Children Now in Ozempic Marketers’ Crosshairs
- Are Tainted Cheerios Running Hog-Wild on Human Reproductive Organs?
… etc., and so on.
