LIVE! FROM SEATTLE! IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT! So it’s time for me to put another blog out. Watched The Midnight Gospel on Netflix last night. Thought it looked like something fun and trippy to get stoned and watch and wasn’t disappointed. Podcast audio over trippy animation. Wicked! Duncan Trussel interviewing Dr. Drew as they kill zombies together. Brilliant! I highly recommend smoking large amounts of cannabis and watching this with friends. Before that, we went back in time to watch the first Austen Powers movie, which is actually even funnier now for entirely different reasons than it was 20 years ago I mean, clearly Austen wouldn’t have made it very long in the #metoo era, even though Joe Biden seems to be doing just fine. Interesting. But I digress, often. The point being that it’s probably time this one got a reboot, since everything else does. I figure it could start out with Dr. Evil hatching a plan to cause all the world’s computers to crash when the year changes over to 2000. Don’t ask me for details but somehow this leads to him and Austen both being frozen and thawed out in 2020. Then of course Dr. Evil begins hatching several evil schemes such as recruiting religious fundamentalists to crash planes into the World Trade Center, leading the U. S. to get into a string of endless wars and convincing its citizens to accept an ever more intrusive surveillance state. Or convincing banks to sell mortgages to people they know can’t afford them, eventually causing a massive crash in the housing market which triggers a global financial meltdown. Or perhaps they release a virus into the population that will quickly spread across the industrialized world, causing a mass panic and triggering yet another massive economic collapse! At that point Dr. Evil’s henchmen just kind of awkwardly stares at each other.. SCENE!
Because of course you really can’t make shit up anymore that’s more ridiculous than what’s going on in the real world these days can you? What is going on this week anyway? Apparently the Senate says it’s ok for the FBI to look at your web browsing history without a warrant. And of course nobody cares because they’ve got nothing to h ide because all they do is go to work then go home and watch Tiger King of whatever the fuck. What do they care about privacy rights? Are those even a thing anymore? But there’s good news too! The House passed yet another stimulus bill which includes more $1200 relief checks! Of course, this one was for $3T, which leaves about $2.5T for all the corporate swine to gorge themselves on. So everybody’s happy. Oh, and I guess we tried to Bay of Pigs Venezuela at some point this week? So that’s lovely. More naked power and money grabs while we’re all alone, isolated, distracted and scared of a virus with a 98% survival rate. The elites of the world just continue to play their game of Monopoly using our backs as the table. But all we need to do is stand up and their game is over. And of course the first step is to say “Fuck it!” before it fucks you.
