Lovely. BTW I have no idea who you are—mctvt is too obscure!

It’s refreshing to hear—and crucially important to pay heed to—voices from outside the fetid, metastasized horror show that is the Trump/Musk version of the USA. Thank you!

(BTW I just wrote you a reply but I don't see it here. Did you get it? This is a little confusing!)

Hey Lynne—yes, the hybrid life seems to be the way to go for the time being. And it's about to get more complicated in that Bluesky is releasing their Instagram competitor tonight! In other news—I've moved up to Montague, MA, where my over-the-road neighbor is Marina!

No pleasure in any of this, sadly. Even schadenfreude is a casualty of these mofos. How’s Ireland?

Don't get me started. A little seig heil, then I'm humming Deutschland Uber Alles, and before you know it I'm ready to invade the Sudetenland. I mean, uh, Canada.

Why the unseemly rush?

Gastrofascism? How can one not be fascinated? Wait—I just noticed the common root of "fascist" and "fascinate". Hmm.
