"A car wash might brick your Cybertruck"... MY? Cybertruck? I'd rather have a Yugo, if I still chose to drive. I gave that up in '98.

Wookie is one of the very niftiest folk I have ever had the privilege of meeting in person. (@dancinghedgie.bsky.social, too!) Again, I'm so glad to have found (each of) you here.

As a guy in my late 50s who's never been a New Yorker I STILL gasped, "Oh, please, no," when I heard that Cuomo was running. Please, dear Universe, not him.

We are all part of a very large and slow social progression towards unity; some folks will stick with the ways they are taught. I was taught both, so I'm fluent in both. Unity RIGHT NOW isn't necessary. Folks who weren't taught should be permitted a life not fraught with controversy about this.

When will you officially register your relationship with our (currently fascist) state? We need data on your relationship. "It's why to get married."

Military parades, trying to impress and intimidate.
