So its been quite a year....
So many norms being broken and general fucked upness around.
Is this the new normal and its all down hill from here?
Or can good times be in the future?

You mean where you give your DNA to a company to find out if you are 0.06% Native American/Laplander/Swede/Irish/etc, but now the police can subpoena the company to find out if you are a match for the Zodiac killer?

I'm not sure why the Department of Labor has someone tweeting out these things in the first place. Is NASA going to start tweeting about manifest destiny next? The Parks Service about the Monroe doctrine?

If only we could disband social media companies...

A general observation: many US government organizations have historically been heavy hitters globally, their regulations and assessments have carried some weight worldwide in many industries. That prestige is starting to evaporate, since US government is a joke now.

The CDC was the gold standard. Now they post antivax stuff on their website.

Jesus Christ man.

I mean fuck that rapist guy but that is some pretty blood chilling shit.

We are all going to have to choose to live in the dark ages just to avoid constant control and monitoring aren't we?

Granted even if the government couldn't do that without a warrant, everybody else can already do it so maybe it doesn't really make that much of a difference. It is always just depressing to be reminded of it.

What the hell? Those have never been central tenents of the American Way of Life. Maybe the God thing. Pride in our homeland! Obedience to the Law! Those sound like the sort of tenents immigrants once came here to escape.
