AI GETS YOU A BLOCK
To be fair a certain amount of density is necessary. Any US postwar city, especially east of the Mississippi, has shit city planning that makes all those sidewalks effectively useless because there's nowhere to go or the parking lots are huge.

But yeah.

Oh the irony of misspelling What's. actively falling asleep while posting.

And don't even get me started on my very referential style that is impossible to acquire licensing for.

His neighbors hated it and called it an eyesore, but he'd fire back with how ugly their RVs and boats that filled their driveways were. hicarquitectura.com/2025/12/fran...

Gonna miss him. RIP Frank, you never met a piece of paper you couldn't crumple in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

Feels like one of many "what did the president know and when did he know it?" moments that we're getting--a hundred Watergates a year--but this one is especially heinous. Maybe because there's a real death toll, rather than disappearances? Dunno.

In any case, impeachments all around, imo. Minimum.

Yes, it's another instance of the US doing shit they'd normally (hypocritically) denounce and consider retribution for, but something feels different about this one. Particularly bloodthirsty and cruel, even for us. The glee from Hegseth. The entire chain of command trying to pass the buck.

There's something tickling the back of my brain about some of the stuff Sen. Kelly says toward the end when comparing us and other countries, but I haven't quite sorted it out yet. It feels very "American Exceptionalism" but in a different direction than normal. Can't quite place it. Anyway.

I know we're neck-deep in "unremitting awfulness" territory, but if we were any other country, the US would be blowing up our airports by now.

Also I retract any statements I've made about this being a made-up distraction by the admin. Adding murder to the rape, trafficking, fraud, and theft.

In high school I got pretty good at not dropping a bag of flour, which came in handy when we had our (only) kid several years later. Haven't had reason to handle a baby in ages, and, God willing, won't ever again. I've been barfed on enough.

Yeah and we're cooler in every way than you all. 😎 <- see? Sunglasses. Take that, old man.

Uh oh, installation of this part requires soldering. Think you're up to that, sir?
