Oh you thought the ordeal of being perceived was mortifying? Wait 'till you try being perceived by a state.
As its bureaucratic gaze lingers through the entrails of your medical, financial, scholastic, and social records, a deep disquiet oozes through your brain upon consideration of the labyrinthine antagonisms it may—or may not—inflict upon you. In service only to Capital, this entity has bequeathed immeasurable portions of suffering and death to those it threatens to protect, let alone to its ever-multiplying enemies, and now it is your turn to be found wanting, for in its incessant mechanical hunger, wanting is all that the state can conceive of.

Whatever success Trump had in his career was built on insight
-- not into the workings of capitalism but into the darker corners of human nature.
He succeeded through scams, lies, and bullying,
using the power he had over others to enrich himself at their expense.
So no one should be surprised that he brings the same spirit to policymaking.
In his second term, Trump is at last unleashed to fully realize his vision,
and on economics, that means a new kind…

On September 28th, 1867, Toronto officially became the capital city of the new Province of Ontario, and universally accepted as the centre of the universe. It was kind of a pity decision since Toronto had recently lost out to Ottawa when the Queen, the one in England, chose the capital for the Province of Canada. Confederation decreed that the Province of Canada would be split with Canada East becoming Quebec, and Canada West would now be known as Ontario. Toronto got the last laugh because the entire country now revolves around the city, at least in the minds of certain provincial politicians who may or may not want all of Canada to pay for a tunnel under #Hwy401.

according to a statement from military officials issued Thursday.
