ok - have fun!

Yes, I would try to come. Can you say where? Will it be in Pasatiempo?

Recital where?

Maybe cede the box, and find another way to store the contents?

I appreciate rain on Zozobra day, except when they reschedule.
It amazes me that people don't seem aware of what they are enacting, or don't mind participating in it.

A scapegoating ritual.

Elad Nehorai just posted a thoughtful thread on leaving Twitter now as disinfo accounts control the narrative more & more & staying helps their credibility. Sad to the point of tragic. You have to look for it there since he hasn't posted it here - although he is here too @eladn.bsky.social

Orson Welles reading War of the Worlds on the radio! Wonder if people are now so jaded (or overloaded, or inured to fake news) that they won't much react - just meh!

"... the rubicon one must go through for total extremism"

So well-stated.

There is no such thing as fighting him, especially not to try to influence him. He is going to do what he is going to do regardless of, and probably in spite of. Just wonder and watch what is going to happen over there.
