I have a 4yo daughter and this hits me regularly. Thinking about the rest of her life chills me.

While I can't wait to throw some tiles at the oligarchs, are we really gonna go with a tennis court this time?

Yes, this is the pre-enshitification period.

That hit me on Election Day. Turn off the tv.

We can have nice things … for now.

I understand.
You’re not alone in this. My 4 kids are home for college break. I’m thoroughly enjoying them—having family dinners every night. Making sure everything runs smoothly for everyone and all their daily needs are met, even more so than before. These are the times we will remember.

I'm going to miss being able to trust rare steak, sushi, municipal water, medication, hell - even boilerplate legal agreements (as asymmetrical as they were)

Right now we’re in that fleeting afterglow of dimming light when a light bulb burns out forever.

If it makes you feel any better you've also already lived through at least a couple other before times

I’m trying to make the most of the holiday season while we have the comfort of what is familiar.

I’ve been thinking about @billybragg.bsky.social song Between the Wars, which gives me some comfort too.

This short zort does a good job spelling out what I've been feeling since Nov 6th. Profound sadness for the world that could have been being snuffed forever out of existence by a bunch of bigots and incurious idiots who couldn't be bothered to give a shit.

Those who do not learn from Broadway are doomed to repeat Broadway.

If it's any consolation, democracy will not die in darkness, but in broad daylight, with all its friends looking on in resignation, shaking their heads and saying, "Alas, if only we had done any of the tons of things we could have done to prevent this."
