I enjoy history, economics, politics, foreign policy and technology. I’m actually fairly knowledgeable about some of it.
Over educated but under-credentialed.
I have a fondness for Existentialism and Judaism.

I’m an adherent of the Block and Go philosophy of Bluesky. The thing is I don’t need rude people in my timeline and my life is better with them gone. Don’t be a dick.
Oh well. I’m not subscribing to Wired to read on average less than one article a month.

Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis on Nick Fuentes running for president one day.
Rogan: “He could probably win in a few years. Listen, he couldn’t have existed before, right? Ten, twenty years ago, couldn’t have existed. Now, super popular. What’s twenty years from now look like?”

Freight trains. Box cars. Stuff them full. And then a quick selection when they arrive at the detention facility to identify those capable of good, hard work. For additional profit, also check for gold in their teeth and smuggled currency.

Republicans can’t afford to lose the antisemitic conservatives and still win elections. So they have courted them for a long time. I don’t see them expelling the antisemites from the party. I also expect a lot of other conservatives to close their eyes and cover their ears.
