Grouchy old fart, enjoys books, birds, baroque music, alliteration and, of course, spiders (but then, who doesn’t?). Semi-skilled at a number of unimportant things like game-playing, computer surgery and natural history story-telling. Lazy.

Boy, some of us are just hypercompetitive about everything, even how much our pets love us.
Now personally, I know that only my life is the ideal, and everybody else lives lives of relative depravity, but I would never be so crass as to write that!

I don’t know anyone who sneers at beginners. We all started from scratch and most of us haven’t made much progress. It would be pretty chintzy to mock others who are showing us their art; that takes guts!

Nothing is impossible for this crew. Once “rule by royal decree” became accepted, anything is now possible.
“Denaturalization” is the obvious next step, but the real goal is “decitizenship”.

The GOP has advanced Whataboutism to the status of art.
Bad art, but still art.
It’s like watching monkeys fingerpaint with poop. Disgusting, but still impressive, considering who’s doing it.

In a dictatorship, especially under a Mad King, laws are whatever the courtiers say they are (as long as they don’t bother anyone who can bribe the King)
