The below excerpt is from today's @hcrichardson.bsky.social email. She goes on to note that the doomsday scenario Musk envisions is expected to happen 5 BILLION years from now. Longtermers like Musk are bonkers.

I have to really, really like you to read your 100-skeet dissertation, just so you know. Most of you I only like or really like, though.

So hey for whatever it’s worth, just because a Republican says someone is a terrorist don’t make it so. Or a gang member. Or anything really. These people have proven themselves to be bald-faced liars again and again and we should not be giving them the benefit of doubt. Let us see your proof!

I know it’s been less than a month since Inauguration Day but is it too early to talk secession? I’m ok with New England being the newest Canadian province if it means I don’t have to endure 4 more years of chaos and stupidity.

When I’ve heard this, the sense of “getting ahead” usually meant “doing better than my parents did.” I think generational improvements in standards of living is actually a pretty reasonable target, actually.
