I know I'm nowhere near the first nor last to say this, but Mt Fay, Pharloom is not fun.

Not quite "Savage Beastfly" levels of not fun, but quickly approaching it.

Like, there's "challenging", and then there's "kicking you in the crotch, head, and stomach, simultaneously, repeatedly, forever".

So nothing changed.

Our main export for the last 100+ years has been industrialized violence.

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

Honestly, if anything the last year has given me a MUCH better appreciation for Dadaism as a concept and a movement.
