Trump is a disgrace. Vance is a bootlicking assistant to a disgrace. And every other Republican who ever spouted empty words about supporting our allies and the United States being a place of freedom and opportunity, but continues to support these fascist a-holes, is a liar. Stand with Ukraine.

My take on the discourse about whether or not certain bad actors are "High IQ"... I have no idea. But I don't think it's smart to destroy the world around you, even if you do so in clever ways.

Trump coming back into power with Musk in tow has real Movie Sequel Threat Escalation vibes. Like, "We already beat the Joker in the first movie, so this time what if it's Joker AND Two-Face AND they capture the US Treasury?" Great logic for a summer blockbuster, not a great way to run a country.

If life were an Indiana Jones movie, we'd be almost to the part where Elon Musk tries to open some ancient artifact against scholarly advice and accidentally unleashes its supernatural power...

I'm an old hermit living out beyond the Dune Sea. Not a Jedi, though. Sometimes a pesky R2 unit comes around and I direct it to Obi-Wan's place, three dunes down. Then I have to tell the stormtroopers about the droid they're looking for. It's annoying. Thinking of finding a more deserted wasteland.

I've been hanging out at Threads, but this seems like it might be a more active and interesting Twitter replacement? I guess we'll see...
