In the dream, my friend and I were frantic but this morning I think it's hilarious. I wish I had that car. 1140
Dale McFarland @dalemcfarlandart.bsky.social · 25/12/2025I've never been a big fan of Blackout Poetry. But the sanitized "release" of all this redacted evidence crap has certainly burned an image in my mind that will probably never fade. As if I needed another reason to wish an end to the worthless piece of shit and everyone who supports and protects him. 0120
