If you’re not making your spouse question why they married you daily, are you even married?

Ok A-1 pictures and @crunchyroll.com - kudos on Solo Leveling S2E24. That fight scene was absolutely phenomenal. The animation plus the music; goosebumps the entire time.

An entire generation of Americans fought and died to defeat this evil. Many never came home, sacrificing everything to stop it. Parading these signs is an insult to their memory and the families who bore the cost.

Sigh I didn’t think this needed to be said but I’ll say it anyways; we must not normalize nazis as well
There has been a troubling trend of normalizing cruelty in public discourse and policy. We must reject this as a society. We can debate policies, bills, and laws, but basic human decency should not be up for debate. If you take joy in the suffering of others, it’s time for serious self-reflection

After driving on the highway today with very high wind, I’ve come to the conclusion that many MANY of you need to take your drivers license test again…

I’ve been saying this for a while now. Technology has always moved at a rapid pace and the president needs to not only understand it but be able to guide us through the shifting landscape
Our next president will have to be technologically competent, at least , in order for us to sustain our place in the world.
This will become increasingly obvious over the next 4 years as AI gets more powerful
This isn’t necessarily bad. Truly. Done right, we will be a better, more equal society
