Sort of like my other account only this one is in color and might have some recipes. Because food doesn't look so good in black and white. Also, some science, maybe.

Elliott's Lusztig's response, after I reported what his ally did to me, was to quietly like the libelous post and block me.

I think that I can now safely say exactly what #CalExit is about. A vote for #CalExit is a vote for racism, cowardice and for backbiting narcissism.

At this point, I feel embarrassed by the fact that I was ever supportive of that crowd. Now that I know what they're about, I'll unfollow them and start blocking them on sight.

If I bother to stay active on Bluesky, at all, that is.

I seldom, if ever, run into people like this anywhere outside of the Internet, so maybe a less time consuming (and more rewarding) response to the problem would be to put my accounts on hold, and spend more time outdoors, reading real books.

Not to be mistaken with the slop today's troll writes.

David Mack writes Star Trek fan fiction. Mass produces it.

That's the kind of celebrity that our friends at #CalExit were willing to follow down into the gutter. They didn't just sell their souls, they sold them cheaply.

Imagine a country in which people like that were the founding fathers.

I was supportive of this idea, until I started hearing what actual Canadians had to say about the whole idea, and about us and about how their views were justified. Having had the misfortune of dealing with white supremacists while growing up, I found what I was hearing extremely familiar.

The way that Canadians were talking about Americans was exactly the same way that Klansmen used to talk about my family. They didn't give a damn about the differences in viewpoint between this American or that American, or between the blue states or the red.

They hated us all, just for being American, just for existing and there was no getting through to them. They were determined to see us as the enemy and to repay us for our "evil" by being genuinely evil to us in return. They were an unreasoning enemy with whom no peace could be made.

Confronted with such Hate, all that one can do is shrug and walk away, and forever turn one's back on those who reacted to the mere fact of one's existence with such an insane rage.

Unite with them? I can't see any sense in even being allied with them. Or welcoming them as visitors.

Don't get me wrong. Trump is still dangerously unbalanced and his MAGA fan club has more than a few literal neo-Nazis in it. Secession is still a good idea, even if this is going to be a rough time for the inland states doing the seceding. Like Illinois.

Times are going to be really bad in Chicago.

While I was typing this, David Mack decided to deal with the fact that I was presenting a reasoned argument against his proposal - one that I had initially supported - by blocking me and then libeling me, thinking (I guess) that I wouldn't be able to see what he wrote or defend myself from it.

I've included a receipt of Mr. Mack's proposal, below. I'm posting this bleet from an openly acknowledged alt account (@silverscapes.bsky.social).

The one and only like that Mr. Mack's proposal got came from me, the person who he is now accusing of being a hatebot.
