I finally got a method to transfer files too big for an ADF to my Amiga 1200. It's a microSD in an SD adaptor, in a CF adaptor, in a PCMCIA adaptor. So naturally I gave the card a relevant name.

I don't usually do much on the 4th because I'm a lazy bum, but this year in particular it's hard to even feel pleased about the holiday. Fireworks are pretty, though.

So we’re 75 days into trumps second term, people are protesting everywhere. Markets have had two days of absolutely apocalyptic losses. There are grad students being disappeared and a man with an autism awareness tattoo was sent to a super scary prison in El Salvador. They’ve cut cancer research..

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Honestly, I knew things would move fast (they proudly yelled it to the world - so no "I didn't know he was gonna do THAT" doesn't count, people) but it's still insane to watch, and not in a good way. Canada is doing what they /should/ and the only thing a bully understands is being punched back. :(

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.
