“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” - Ronald Reagan
But the people who love this quote are extremely gung ho about sending that same government into a foreign country to conduct an illegal coup in order to take their oil.

Got my first ever "violent threats" removal on a Twitter post showing Trump struggling to keep his eyes open and swaying in place for commenting "Please just let him fall over..."

I feel like I'm living in an indie dev's adventure game and I'm trying to find all the hidden documents to piece together the unspoken backstory that will end up being summarized by some crappy YouTube channel with AI.

I read Stranger in a Strange Land, and while I didn't love it, at least I finally know what the word "grok" means. I'm not sure I grok it, but I get the gist.

Obviously, we need to build data centers in space, have them run off of that unfiltered solar energy/cosmic radiation, and leave our communities with cheap real estate alone. And if a random screw from the ISS should take them out in a Kessler syndrome-type disaster, so be it.

Obama's recent statements don't include anything like calling someone a fat, stupid slob with a low IQ and, I dunno man, he doesn't seem very Presidential anymore.

The sad fact is the only prize we get for winning elections is the ability to keep fighting to win future elections. The side that wishes to drag us back to the pre-13th Amendment era will not ever give up. So here we go... Next year's elections are, once again, the most important we've ever had.
