To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 - The sociopathic sexual predator business fraud felon you put back in the office he tried to steal just stood in the White House & said that he wants to send American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. So, fuck you.

Day four of I can't hear myself think, because the jerk that owns the wooded lot at the end of my street decided it needs to be clear cut. No idea what he plans on doing with it, because it's practically a sheer cliff. Not like you could build something on it.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.
