Of the Commonwealth. Dad to two amazing humans attending UMass-Lowell & Clark U.

Full time cat Dad. NASA nerd.

“…a principal function of free speech under our system of government is to invite dispute…” - Justice William Brennan

I F*CKING HATE BULLIES.
4 years later, Dad took me to 2001: A Space Odyssey *in actual no-shit Cinerama, with curtains to reveal the wide screen!*.

The stellar portal sequence Fucked Me Up. But I don’t think we left. I was 7 years old.

Kubrick, man.

Mom & Dad taking 3 yo me (and infant sister, I assume) to the dirive-in to see…

DR. STANGELOVE.

Slim Pickens‘ final moments cracked little me up.

Tom, lost me at “plausible”. Sadly, any shit at all is plausible.

Sadly, that electoral solution is my beloved Democratic Party. After the coming big win next November, do not expect a cleansing Terror. Expect “look forward, not back” milquetoast.

Hegseth in his chiseled cosplay thinks he’s building a corps of this kinda guy. He has no fucking idea who this guy actually is.

I mean, did Madison even have a clear idea of federalism? Three branches, checks, balances, the big ideas grown from centuries of political theory. But federalism? So far down on any citizens Great Features Of American Democracy. A Constitutional by-product.

Who freaking knew?

Federalism seems to be the great levee of institutionalism built to withstand Storm Donald, when so many other institutions have been washed away. Stronger than distinct courts when The Supes are corrupt.

See: Indiana, regional public health collaboration, Governors. What’s your favorite example?

Trump loathes disability as much as brown skin.

Obscene to call Musk an “architect”. He’s not a fucking creator of anything.

Did Trump miss the market news today? The markets just shot up by taking a giant shit on AI stocks. He’s making a fight about how to regulate a dying industry. That’s so … Trump.

I’m on TRT. RFK is not.

The current regulatory regime is fine with me.

RFK wants a regime that works for him: rules to breed up a generation of RFKs.

FUCK NO.

Going after a Red state is simply not done!

FFS, dude this is what Trump‘s been throwing at Blue states all year.

You’d think Maduro roasted Trump at a banquet or something.

Isn’t all farming “regenerative”? Why am I so sure this is a scam?
