Taking a poll, should I use AI while I'm sitting beside the Gulf of Mexico or Lake Ontario?

The heavy volume of social media MAGAs saying stupid things this week like "Those books aren't banned, they're just being made not available" only goes to show that at some level, even they realize that book banners are always on the wrong side of history.

Facebook MAGAs are responding to Banned Books Week by making inane posts like "No books are banned in the U.S., they're just not allowed", because apparently dictionaries also aren't allowed wherever they are.

It seems like "You're taking that out of context" is the MAGA response to everything lately.

I've been going through a lot of books about Stonewall Jackson among a history collection I've been curating, and that plus remembering the research I did on Jackson years ago for a novel has now suddenly generated an odd historical wondering if Jackson was neurodivergent.

And the White House response is being copied and pasted by MAGAs as their defense all over Twitterx.

Meanwhile, I get letters from the IRS every month to remind me that I still owe X dollars ($500 at this writing) on the federal tax bill I've been making payments on each month.

It occurs to me that if Hegseth got this voicemail he would probably legit think it was a cool idea.

On the other hand, he'd probably see this post and "Kriegsmarine" and consider that a compliment.

Long ago when I'd just moved out of Northern Virginia and still had my DC Metro phone #, I got a minutes-long voicemail giving details about the still-unbuilt F-35 Fighter. The message ended with "What are your thoughts?" I left a reply voicemail saying "I think we should give it flame detailing".

Maybe one of the biggest problems that MAGAs have with considering this possibility is that this time the source of the disease is Russia rather than China.

No surprise, I keep rediscovering that a lot of Twitterx is still a sewer these days. But I also keep remembering that "sewer" and the "muck" in muckraking are not far apart at all.

During Trump's 1st term I made a Swiftian tweet that if child separation was so good at deterring crime, then we should take away the children of all criminals. The positive and downright "Rah! Rah!" responses I got to this were horrifying.

Honestly, if every state in the union decided to require a photo ID, I'd be OK with that regardless of how I might feel about the issue. Because it would be the states doing it, and they have the Constitutional right to make their rules.

Here in Appalachia, thanks to the crash of wheat prices after WWI and other factors like the mass death of chestnut trees, there was a years-long major economic depression through the 1920s that preceded the Great Depression.
