A few more American things

[elisi]

Under a cut, I realised that some people need to get away from it all. 🫂 Take care of yourselves.


How is this the worst timeline, but also somehow the stupidest?

Watch on YouTube

(That might be the only saving grace - hopefully their stupidity impedes them.)

Although, they are very clear on what they are doing.

The Atlantic: There’s a Term for What Trump and Musk Are Doing
How regime change happens in America

Declassified CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism Is Suddenly Viral

Specific Suggestions: Simple sabotage for the 21st Century

And via Tumblr - an illustration of how prophetic The Boys is:




Also I presume everyone has now heard of Elon's son telling Trump to shut up?

Again, weirdest, stupidest timeline.



Outside of the cut, because we need good news also:

Tumblr link: JD Vance managed to fuck up theology so badly that the fucking pope had to issue a statement saying he got it wrong

(Read the whole thread. <3)

ETA: Direct link to the Pope's letter:
Lettera del Santo Padre ai Vescovi degli Stati Uniti d’America, 11.02.2025

Thanks for the Tumblr link.

[elisi]

You're welcome. <3

Clicked on the tumblr link without realising it was one; some reason beyond me I didn't get the page covering privacy cow-droppings thing and I was able to read it.

Any chance of there being a more readable version. I had quite forgotten how confusing reading a tumblr, or any such thread, can be. And I read some of our email exchanges every day :-)

I think it might depend on the individual settings of that user's Tumblr? But I am not sure. Anyway, I'm glad it worked.

LOL. But I'm not sure. Unless I just copy & paste the whole thing into an email? Can do that. <3

“To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.”
“Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.”
“Multiply paperwork in plausible ways.”

This seems to be happening already in so many arenas.

[elisi]

Uh-huh.

It's very effective, whether deliberate or not...

[trepkos]

I mean, it's been happening for years.

[elisi]

I think we can all name someone [from work]. However it's doubtful that they know they are effectively saboteurs.

Here's to the [quiet] revolution.

I love the Pope telling Vance to shut the fuck up. Delightful. I hope the American bishops/wider Catholic community takes it seriously, too.

[elisi]

It's so rare there is GOOD news about the Catholic Church... But this made me extra happy.
