Trump: Lightning Rod & Whipping Boy For A Blatant Coup.

Generally I have never bothered writing about nitty gritty straight political shit, however the events internally of the past two weeks in the USA, and the reaction I have observed to them despite the relatively obvious near and long term implications, is alarming enough that I’ll make an exception. This is not how I expected to break my 8 month writing hiatus - I had a nice long-form essay about the collapse of social structures back in the mental slow cooker after some test reads, what a fuckin’ debacle.

DIGITAL — I’ve seen many strange things in my career — sordid backroom deals, shameless profiteers masquerading as patriots, and the kind of bureaucratic lunacy that makes you wonder if the very soul of a nation is for sale. But nothing — nothing — prepares you for the wild fever dream that unfolded as Donald Trump’s tariff threats began rattling the maple-scented halls of Canadian commerce. In a nation famous for its politeness and poutine, a seismic shift was underway. Instead of a collective bout of national unity, a secret cabal of corporate fat cats started to grin like Cheshire cats, their eyes glinting with the promise of opportunity amid crisis.

By the time you’ve managed to light your third cigarette of the morning and sip some black coffee that tastes like industrial runoff, you’ll already be deep in the mire of a madman’s vision — a vision that has been tearing apart the old world and stitching together a grotesque tapestry of unchecked power, market lunacy, and techno-arrogance. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the unvarnished truth: Elon Musk is nothing less than the living, breathing embodiment of the ultra-rich’s wet dream — a degenerate messiah for a generation that’s traded in its soul for a glimmer of futuristic excess.

DIGITAL — In the cold, unfeeling skies above Washington, D.C., a tragedy unfolded that defies the very fabric of our understanding — a midair collision between an American Airlines jet and a U.S. Army helicopter, leaving a trail of devastation and heartbreak. Among the 60 souls aboard the ill-fated flight were members of the U.S. figure skating community: athletes, coaches, and family members who had dedicated their lives to the pursuit of grace and excellence on the ice.

DIGITAL — The air in Westminster is thick with the stench of corporate musk and bureaucratic decay. In a move that smacks of Orwellian irony, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) — the watchdog tasked with keeping the tech behemoths like Amazon in their proverbial lanes — has been handed over to none other than Doug Gurr, the very man who once steered the colossal ship of Amazon UK. It’s a coup d’état wrapped in the guise of regulatory reform, and the proletariat is left to wallow in the wake of this audacious power grab.
