Seeing a lot of debate about who will "win" the Musk-Trump feud, and on that front, there is no doubt: Trump. This is a numbers game. The only people Musk gets in the divorce are terminally online, secular racists who graduated college but only ever read "The Fountainhead" all the way through.

Much of this short paragraph by Brown is outdated and/or not meant to be taken seriously. But I like his conclusion about sf, which I would broaden to include fantasy. "It is a nightmare and a dream. And isn’t that what we’re living in and for today? A nightmare and a dream?"

Reading some early "KRAZY KAT" of George Herriman. I'd forgotten that Krazy Kat and Ignatz Mouse were a same-sex, if somewhat fractious, couple (reminding me a little these days of Musk and Trump).

Goldman: "The idea of focusing on President Biden is a way of distracting from Donald Trump's efforts to completely undermine our democracy, to grift and engage in corruption, and to help out his billionaire buddies by cutting their taxes while taking Medicaid away from the American people."

Earlier today, Mt. Etna erupted with a pyroclastic density current (a "pyroclastic flow"). Although the volcano is one of the most active in the world, PDCs are relatively rare for Etna. Even a modestly sized one can be deadly because of their speed, heat, and explosivity. Credit: AfarTV

Typo of the day: _summery_ (for an intended _summary_). It was kind of summery today, too, after a stretch of unusually cool weather in May. So. There you go there.
