Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports the keeper’s confusion in noting the simultaneity of Elon Musk’s $44 billion purchase of Twitter’s BS megaphone, and the local PBS begathon’s pleas for a few dollars to keep disseminating the truth and consequences of daily life.
Beyond the absurdity of Musk’s offensive narcissistic wealth in a world of starving, brutalized millions, is the pitifully naive thinking that
truth as broadcast by the likes of PBS is worth a dollar or so from the meager coffee funds of the keeper and his ilk; and might, in the end, make a difference.
In the existing offensive information-system dichotomy, truth is flushed down the Musk gold-plated plumbing while everyone else stumbles toward the outhouses, some listening to PBS and others babbling Twitter nonsense.
Since the Earth, under these circumstances, is unsustainable, there is little wonder that Musk is shopping to buy a replacement planet. The keeper wonders if he has looked at Pluto?
