It was a dark night, sleeping over at grandma's. The Gparents brought me to their best friends' house across the street because they wanted to drink and play cards.
In the shadowy downstairs living room, the only light was the TV, making their grandson's face glow as he played Simon's Quest...

I’ve been to this timeline. Kamala, the cop, becomes president and gets a hold of the Epstein list and everyone goes to prison.
I ended up leaving because in this universe there is no Mountain Dew Baja blast zero.

I sort of want to play MGS4 on Xbox because I feel like it might open a wormhole that could teleport us into a timeline without Trump

Controversial opinion: there IS something I LOVE about Elon Musk.
I love that he's the wealthiest man in the world, with dozens of children, occasional political power, and he's SO FUCKING MISERABLE and LONELY and RIDICULED.
All his $$ can't buy him immortality or happiness or unconditional love.

Q: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a host to public health and the environment based on science?
TRUMP: I tell them don't worry about it. This was all a scam. They'll have more money to spend for healthcare.

Okay okay yes, I know, but hear me out - we HAD this TV growing up. This was what we listened to Chipmunks Beatles and The Wall records. 8 tracks. It broke so we bought a black and white tv to put on top of it so we could watch the Ewoks movie.

Very sorry if this sounds sexist, but she was more like those models who would hold up signs at E3 back in the day, representing the president, instead of someone who is supposed to be defending justice. When your response to justice is to bring up finance, you are clearly unfit for the job.
The Attorney General of the United States refusing to look at or acknowledge Epstein Survivors today in a House Judiciary hearing. The world is watching. History will remember.

A close friend in Maine reports that things are terrible there, as much as in MN, short of the executions in the street (so far). I don't know why we don't see much about it in the news. I see an occasional hint here, but she says she has family out protesting and witnessing in a bigger city.

He made a game that's title and concept is a play on eugenics. I was already out there - I'm not a prude, I dug the horror of BOI, but making light of eugenics as an American where it's being utilized by the state as we speak? "Hard pass".
And then I saw the names involved...

My heart goes out to Hookland, the king on the deck of ravens, on this Woden's Day.
Hello. Still without necessary IT and health issues mean I may have to leave the county long before I would wish. However, I am still filling notebooks and hope to be able to restart an intermittent service at some point soon. I am also discussing how best to make Hookland permanently available.
