Random thought tonight: having kids is a MLM scheme.

Random thought last night: D&D dungeons are just Easter egg hunts for adults.

Constant thought: punch a nazi.

Never really thought I’d actually arm up. Now, 3k later, I’m exercising that 2nd amendment.

I’m hoping I’m overreacting and things will stabilize. I doubt, but I hope.

While my mortal coil is little interest to me - there are other coils I will fight for.

Consumer blockout today. I’m happy to boycott what I can. Only thing I can’t avoid is a prior scheduled dentist appointment.

Tolerance is not a moral stance. Its a moral treaty. If you break the treaty, don't expect its benefits.

I've started seeing reporting on "FAFO season." It warms my heart. So many MAGA suffering and having regret.

They couldn't care less until it happened to them. Let 'em starve in the cold

My heart is made glad hearing of the suffering of MAGA "people".

From Venezuelan TPS holders that voted for Trump, blue collar workers finally identifying what a tariff is, to MAGA bastards that work in the government being upset Trump is gutting it. I celebrate their pain and suffering.

For those of you just starting to ingest the rage at the results of the last election. Who are coming to terms with being under a Nazi government. Who are unable to avoid the absolute rage/upset anymore....I wish I had any answers for you; but:

And with a few button clicks I have deactivated my FB account. Feels weird. I’ll decide in a while to delete or not.

Women are not household objects.
Trans people are people, not ‘it.’
Objective fact checking matters.

MAGA is evil.

At least to me.

Saw an article that said the FBI didn’t like people using Signal since it couldn’t get access to the communications. They said they should be allowed with a legal subpoena. Hah! The nazi government claimed what it did was legal too. Keep it dark Signal. Keep it dark.

Just read about an awesome response to the CEO's hitting his expiration date:

"I'd offer thoughts and prayers, but I need a prior authorization first"

They're right - so I'm gonna just hold off on my thoughts and prayers.

I saw today that the CEO of UnitedHealthCare was shot and killed in Manhattan.

My first thought was literally: "Good for them! Eat the rich."

Shrug. Times we live in. "Thoughts and prayers" to those around him.

Well. Guess I wound up with some purchases.

Solar Generator.
Gas Generator.
Dryer.

Getting the big things done before the Nazi's officially take power.

And again the criminal wins.

It begs the question - why bother with nice? Why play by the rules? Why bother considering decency? Why kindness? I accept those points as antiquated and worthless.

Apparently others aren't ready. So I wait.

Just completed my Rifles 100 class. 3 hours of range time with an AR. Class was taught by 2 police officers - and I was told that my shots had good grouping... my form does need some work - I've got a chicken wing. Habits that are good for archery, are apparently not good for rifles. Pew pew!

Christina and I started watching Taskmaster on YouTube. British comedy ‘competition’ show of comedians. It’s light hearted and fun. I needed something like this.

Change feels strange. Especially change in times of chaos and difficulty. And yet, here we are.
