I haven’t been here for a while. I thought I’d check in.

I’m conflicted. It’s shameful that it took the cold-blooded murders of a couple of white folks to wake some people up. But if that’s what it takes…

I think about this way too much these days. I feel like I’m stuck in a mashup of “The Wall” and “Idiocracy”. youtu.be/196h-nUrNB4?...

Can we just dissolve the House and Senate? They’re useless. They have allowed us to become a dictatorship.

I don’t know why anybody is surprised by Jack Smith’s conclusions. The Senate concluded exactly the same things during DJT’s second impeachment hearings.

Read Jack Smith's full deposition on the decision to indict Trump
The 255-page document, released on the last day of 2025, accounts for some eight hours of testimony.

I got shut down over on TwitX for a fairly innocuous comment, so I’ll be hanging here for a while.

We are being controlled by people who were put in power by about a third of the US public. That’s not how this is supposed to work.

I’m overwhelmed by The Great Firehose of Suck and have little hope we can recover. I’m not quite sure what to do about the despair. A sort of ironic detachment seems to be my default.

Bored with the “Leftist” vs. “Liberal” shit. We’re all on the same fucking side even though many of our representatives are weak and venal. It’s creating a division among the ranks that we can’t afford.

Part of my education as a child was Tom Lehrer. Indeed a significant portion of my worldview was influenced by his work. He retired from music really early in his long life, but he cast a long and weird shadow. I’m grateful that he shared his talent and wit with us.

If Christians can decide they don’t have to do anything they don’t want to like take vaccines because it’s against their religion, I can decide that anything I don’t want to do is against MY religion. Right?
