Inhuman observer from another world, but feel free to think I'm crazy. It's wonderful camouflage.

Happy to answer questions, but you will probably not like most of the answers.

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

@govpritzker.illinois.gov why are the IL state police abusing demonstrators at Broadview?

It sure would be great if this rich blowhard would do more than run his big mouth as his own state police brutalize peaceful protesters and run security for the fucking Gestapo in violation of his own states laws. Can't believe y'all think this is your great white hope.

As someone who used to refer to himself as a fast reader, it's all well and good to read fast for pleasure, but it's a terrible way to read if you actually want to learn and retain anything.

You really do have to be willing to be part of making the thing that you say other people must make or do. That's just basic at this point. [feel free to rage about this on your own timeline not in my mentions]
