As an American living in Canada, these sentiments ade important BUT they leave me always looking for what are the majority of sane Americans doing in response.

I say this as insane tariffs are being thrown around with paper thin rationale or justifications on both sides...

I'm practically about to start marching and I don't even live in the U.S. currently.

It's week 2 and the sky is falling. Literally. Things are falling out of the sky. Fucking hell.

His name should not be mentioned without the number 83. That's the number of people who died in American Samoa as a direct result of his "nonprofit" spreading their message.

P.S. Now I live in Toronto. Where I get laughed at by other Canadians for thinking THIS is cold.

Weirdly enough, I grew up in a part of SoCal that during winters would often see running water from an outdoor faucet freeze before it hit the ground.

I had a lot of fun laughing at other Californians whinging about their frigid freezing to death 52 degrees.

And here I am just hearing you yell "METHODS!" rather than the more measured "Methods."

Maybe they didn't hear you above the deafening calls for improving their impact factor.

P.S. Yeah. That was a dumb methods joke. I'm not sorry.

It's like the grammarian who tells you, if you can't capitalize properly, how can you possibly write anything meaningful?

All hail the 'format free submission' processes.

Took 3 days on a system I submitted to recently.

3 days.

That's 3 days it could have been sitting in "awaiting reviewers" 6 month deadzone ... because that's what would have made the difference, of course.

I weirdly experienced some light form of embarrassment or shame or something like it today when I said "I don't do black Friday... I don't really think that way."

While totally true, the feeling of strangeness was new. Like, am I weird? I'm weird, aren't I? Shit. I said too much.
