And another day where reading the news is like reading the transcript of a three-year old throwing a tantrum (or causes you to throw one yourself) oh so mercilessly comes to a close:

“The condition of man...is a condition of war of everyone against everyone.” -- Thomas Hobbes

The US just bombed Syria. What happens next?

How the fuck did we get here?

How the Vietnam war created America’s modern “white power” movement.

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
