Exactly one year later, it happened again.

A quirk of life with me is that if @zellski.bsky.social says "chill out" in any context, I will invariably reply "CHILL OUT, DICKWAD" in a Terminator voice and he will just proceed as if this hadn't happened

4. I *know* you know this, because we have all been here before, but I *beg* you to stop imagining that any of this stuff has to make sense by any external metric. That it has to be consistent with reality. The point is to unmoor the discourse from reality.
