vetinari1974.bsky.social @vetinari1974.bsky.social · 08/04/2026I did not have the opening chapters of The Sum of All Fears on my 2026 bingo card. Hoping the part about the Peace Bowl starts to hit the narrative (but none of the rest of the book). 000
vetinari1974.bsky.social @vetinari1974.bsky.social · 14/11/2025So, we’re in Succession S10 (with a Meredith Grey cameo)? I did not vote for this . . . 000
vetinari1974.bsky.social @vetinari1974.bsky.social · 08/10/2025OK, kids, We are deep into the last reel of Endgame, and Orange Thanos just broke Cap’s shield. The movie teaches us that there is only one way to win: We need to sacrifice a billionaire. 010

vetinari1974.bsky.social @vetinari1974.bsky.social · 03/04/2025"TRADE WAR! The MAD PRESIDENT delivers on his promise to exact revenge on the WORLD. The US SENATE remains powerless and the US HOUSE is complicit in his schemes." So this is what it feels like to live inside the opening crawl of a Star Wars movie. Hopefully, the next paragraph has heroes. 010
vetinari1974.bsky.social @vetinari1974.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Somehow this administration has morphed into a government by COBRA. Trump—Cobra Commander Stephen Miller—Destro (and does that make Katie Miller the Baroness?) Pete Hesgeth—Major Bludd Zartan—Elon Musk Dreadnoks—The DOGE Kids Tomax/Xamot—? Firefly? Who am I missing? 011
vetinari1974.bsky.social @vetinari1974.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Damnit—I meant Superman III (which did not feature Gene Hackman, but still, RIP). 000
vetinari1974.bsky.social @vetinari1974.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Much as Office Space owes a debt to Superman II (Gene Hackman, RIP), today’s crises somehow tie back to Live Free or Die Hard. 000
vetinari1974.bsky.social @vetinari1974.bsky.social · 01/03/20252. As part of MARCH MADNESS, the US defaults on its debt and loses global reserve currency status (probably to a basket of currencies led by the EU). This will happen quickly. The US responds by pegging the value of the dollar to a cryptocoin controlled by Musk/Thiel. 000
vetinari1974.bsky.social @vetinari1974.bsky.social · 01/03/2025More markers: 1. Starting next month, gravity begins to reassert itself in dramatic (and unpredictable) ways. The American people finally look up from their phones to ask “WTF?” Future textbooks will refer to this period (and events) as “MARCH MADNESS.” 000

When Elon is told to scram, he wipes/crashes the Federal government mainframes (“Judgment Day”). 2. Europe imposes sanctions on the US due to escalation over UKR and abandonment of NATO. 000
