Been without a phone for a month or so. At first annoying. Then kind of nice. Then super annoying. Everything needs 2 factor identification. Then kind of nice again. I don't miss doomscrolling. I feel isolated and liberated at the same time, but mostly miss friends, Music and having a camera.

The last few years put out a light inside of me, and I'm just starting to realize that it isn't coming back on.

Trump posted an AI video of himself as a King in a warplane dropping thousands of gallons of liquid shit on peaceful protesters. Thank god he didn't wear a beige suit though, THAT would be unpresidential.

"That's just what kids do." -JD Vance.

25 years in education. Father of 3 kids whose Discord, Messenger, etc groups range from queer issues to chronic pain to Minecraft. Guess what I've never seen or heard one of those countless kids do? Praise Hitler or promote rape.

Antifa isnt an organization. THE PROUD BOYS are, and have done real violence, including on Jan 6. Now they're all masked ICE agents. Fuck this hypocritical, corrupt, dishonest and dangerous administration.

Apparently, the Goodall episode of Famous Last Words was just the first. They've recorded others; they haven't revealed who, but say that the subjects are people in their 90s. Here's hoping Buzz Aldrin recorded one.

The Department of Energy has now banned the following words and phrases:

climate change, green, decarbonization, energy transition, clean energy, emissions, sustainability, tax breaks, carbon footprint.

This is dystopian and should terrify anyone paying attention.

"Make crime illegal again" says the twice-impeached adjudicated rapist and 34-count felon who pardoned 1500 violent insurrectionists, ignored court orders, settled for over $20 million for his fraudulent university, tramples the Constitution as a matter of routine, and is in the Epstein files.
