A wild longing for strong emotions and sensations seethes in me, a rage against this toneless, flat, normal and sterile life. I have a mad impulse to smash something, a warehouse perhaps, or a cathedral, or myself, to commit outrages.
― Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf (S. Fischer Verlag, 1927) (via Alive on All Channels)

Sometimes I think he should get Outrage berserker powers, as a treat! Just lay eyes on Giovanni and spontaneously combust into red-blue flames - saves all the hassle of even getting Dragonite out to use Hyper Beam 😌

The Internet needs equanimity. People are blind under the hypnotic spell of outrage which pervades every corner of it. The majority of outrage is either exaggerated or fabricated. Even when it's justifiable, reacting so extremely is rarely productive. It generally only incites divisions and hopeless thoughts. It's also making it impossible to have conversations, as it's leading people to assume bad faith or hostility as the default disposition. As fair as this may be with the current state of the Internet, this thinking makes it functionally unusable for well-intentioned people.
I can't be the only one who is exhausted by this.

Ahem…
Go HERE for details on this British, Colbert-wannabe, racist loser attempting to bribe a United States Supreme Court Justice
… and while I am at it, since Mr </sarc> Oliver saw fit to tell Justice Thomas to get the fuck off the Supreme Court, I am going to suggest that Oliver get the fuck out our country; Oliver is not a US citizen — he is a guest in America — and has not any business telling anyone here what to do
Btw, his video was not a comedy bit… John Oliver is serious.
Change my mind yo!

Though this SNL skit was imho tone deaf and poorly-timed given current events in the Middle East, nonetheless, the subjects of mockery in the skit are not the innocent victims of this horrific violence and bloodshed, but rather the terrorist organization which ignited the war between Israel and Palestine on October 7, and the comedy group Please Don’t Destroy, who wrote and portray characters in the skit.
I would hope that most reasonable people can agree that terrorist organizations are evil and must be defeated to prevent them from carrying out their horrific crimes on vulnerable populations.
🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨
In the skit, a failed aspiring musician played by Timothée Chalamet intends to end his misery from a tall building but is stopped by three men (Please Don’t Destroy) who attempt to talk him out of his plan from the street. In the course of their short conversation, the despondent musician is horrified to realize that he’s inadvertently called his band the same name as a terrorist organization: “HAY-muss … H-A-M-A-S”.
When an exciting opportunity arises while still standing on the ledge, in his excitement, his only hope of achieving success literally slips through his fingers. PDD offers to help him out by playing his music on SNL, but he rejects their offer, preferring instead to carry out his plan, as implied in the final scene.
That’s it. That’s the joke.
Objectivity is fundamental in discovering the truth about anything, especially when tragedy looms large and emotions run high. I’m sharing this perspective not to excuse anyone’s choices but hopefully to provide clarity where it might be helpful, in order to make an informed decision.
What feels like justifiable moral outrage might actually be a response to the unbearable weight of grief and despair. With that in mind, let’s give each other time and space, as applicable, to process this horrific situation in the Middle East in the ways that make sense for us and which do not cause additional harm to anyone or add to the ugliness of the world in its current state.
