The Daily Me - Babar O'Reilly

Thank you, Babar O'Reilly, for signing up for The Daily Me. Our search engine has combed the Internet for up to the minute news items that fit the profile you have so painstakingly filled out for us. Then, we weighted the probability that you would be interested in these articles against forms which showed what people with tastes similar to yours have liked reading in the past. And, then, making our way to the subway this morning, we couldn't help but notice that the sidewalk was covered in goose shit. The geese made it hard to miss - it was everywhere! And yes, it was goose shit - it had that strange neon green colour that no other bird's poop possesses. Unless they've been hit with so much gamma radiation that they Hulk out, but that hardly ever happens. There was so much of it, the goose shit must have come from an entire flock or one very large bird with serious digestive tract issues! Anyway, our first thought as we made our way through that grotesque minefield was, This would make a fantastic top scrolling video game! As the screen rolls down, you have to keep your feet from stepping in the goose splat; you lose if your soles collect too much of the stuff, making it impossible for you to move forward. Different sizes of goose scat would deposit different amounts on your shoes. You would start with three sticks (because who doesn't walk down city streets with wood in their pockets?); when you click on the stick icon, the scrolling would stop long enough for you to scrape some of the goose poop off the bottom of your shoes. When you finish a level, you could get bonus sticks. If you finish enough levels, maybe you could get a fire extinguisher that could clear a bit of the street in front of you when activated. As you work your way through the game, each level gets harder, eventually reaching a point where you can hardly see the sidewalk for the goose shit. And we have the perfect name for the game: Goose Steppin'.

Fun and an appropriate comment on the time we live in.

Enjoy,

How Did We Go From Megadeath To Hegaseth?

Time for Heroetry: A Small Book of Big Poetry
Pete Hegseth
96 pages
There's a Good Chapbook Press

You would think, what with destroying random boats in international waters and overseeing National Guard troops cleaning up major American cities (of their physical trash, in any case), Department of Defence (the only War the Trump administration is waging which I am prepared to recognize is its war on reality) Secretary Pete Hegseth would be too busy to write poetry. Boy, would you be wrong.

In Time for Heroetry, Secretary Hegseth writes such gems as:

We're going to be going on offence,
Not just on defence.
Maximum lethality,
Not tepid legality.
Violent effect,
Not politically correct.
We're going to raise up warriors,
Not just defenders.

I suppose this is meant to project an air of strength. To this reader, it projects an air of WTF‽ Sad, desperate WTF‽ The metre is off and the rhymes are forced. This reads like Hakeem Jeffries having just taken bad acid.

That is not a compliment.

Empathy: Once You Can Fake That, You'll Be In The Dictionary With Trump And Musk

Excessive empathy causes CEOs of major corporations to destroy their competition, destroy the planet and outrageously gouge consumers. Empathy is responsible for Zionists enthusiastically supporting a genocide in Gaza. Empathy is to blame for 50 seasons of Survivor.

Oh, yes: empathy has a lot to answer for.

The argument would be more convincing if it hadn't been made by a narcissistic sociopath whose only acquaintance with empathy was as a word in a dictionary. (Look up the word "sociopath" in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of...Donald Trump. But in a footnote to the definition, Elon Musk is referenced more than once. In bold print.)

What is the line beyond which healthy empathy becomes toxic? Apparently, closing USAID, causing the deaths of over 300,000 people (and counting) crosses that line. Perhaps empathy will be called for when the death toll exceeds one million. Or perhaps this isn't really about empathy at all...

Nothing To See Here
Please Avert Your Gaza

it is 2 weep) As its assault on Gaza City intensifies, the Israeli government has advised Palestinians to flee south to an area it has set up as a "humanitarian zone." What is a humanitarian zone in the context of ongoing famine and genocide? a) the piles of food aid that you will be shot for going near are higher
b) the Israeli air force hasn't bombed the area in a day and a half, so the rubble has not been rubbleized
c) a fig leaf on a 45 square kilometre pig

a bombed out bridge 2 far) Thousands of Israelis have protested on the streets of the country for an end to the war. How seriously should they be taken? a) very seriously - unlike United Nations delegates, they vote in Israeli elections
b) not very seriously - Prime Minister Netanyahu's attention is so selective he can hear the one voice praising his actions in a street full of protesters
c) read the fine print, dude! They want the hostages back! As long as the hostages are returned, most of them are just fine with the war continuing. No toxic empathy here!

They Were Also Opposed To His Nomination, Which Also Had No Effect
At Least They're Consistent...

After contentious hearings in which Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy did his best impression of your eighty-nine year-old uncle trying to piss a bowling ball, members of his family have demanded his resignation.

"That's no fair!" Kennedy responded in a video on Insta(gram - for those of you who aren't hip enough to keep up with tech naming convens). "My family wouldn't let me have a mad scientist's lab when I was six, now they don't want me to be Health Secretary! Well, I'll show them! I'll do it anyway! Ha!"

Joseph P. Kennedy III rolled his eyes and went back to...whatever it is Kennedys who are not in politics do.
