Rewatching X files. It’s incredible how *well* it ages. I can’t tell you the number of times I have sat down to rewatch old favorites and clicked them off in horror. X files was well written then, and it’s still great, great stuff. At least through the first two seasons… which is where I am now.

I understand the distress… but not the shock. Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do. Anyone who is surprised right now REALLY wasn’t paying attention.
