“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”
― Hannah Arendt

The best compliments are that than one work colleague when moving on has dropped me a thank you note for the mentoring that I have done, and how much it has helped them.

But my *favorite* complement was that a few players have told me that I ran the best TTRPG game that they have ever played in. 😜

But if you interdict them, and they turn out to be just fisherman, then man, that might look real bad. Like we've been murdering innocents or something.

I'd say "...and that's not us" but...

Well for one thing, I guarantee you that his idiot staff and the gutted federal agencies have utterly failed to keep foreign intel assets offsite during this fucking fiasco.

Trying to imagine how riddled with national security compromises the new construction will be.

Predictable as the morning sun.

The only thing I've never been able to figure out is whether they squawk their accusations against LGBTQ so loudly out of projection, or because they think it acts as concealment for them.
