captphealy @captphealy.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Gee, it would be a shame if the next POTUS just disregarded laws and norms and promptly erased every sign of Trump's existence from DC. It's not like there would be a precedent for a POTUS to act like that. Wait a second... 010

captphealy @captphealy.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I'm truly worried about Trump's health.

captphealy @captphealy.bsky.social · 13/08/2026One of my hobby-horse conspiracy theories is the idea that much "popular" culture of the 20th and early 21sr century (as shown by things like Nielsen ratings, Billboard and box office charts) was specifically aimed at making people dumber. The internets simply made "intent" irrelevant. 000
captphealy @captphealy.bsky.social · 12/08/2026As much as streaming is a boon, never forget: Even a "purchase" amounts to a mere license, one that can disappear in a moment. (cf PlayStation) And "free with ads" needs a browser mod to change it to "unwatchable". Physical media - still the best. 000
