Everything is happening. :D

(FYI, it's important to note that Twin Peaks is a loving note to the Soap Operas, Crime Dramas, and Supernatural Weirdness that was on TV at the time. He just put all the timelines on fast forward instead of making you wait months to find out the twists.)

I mean, they say that,
and if you ever met someone like Strahd you should turn around and run like hell...

But there's a reason he's been the lead cause of my PC death count, and all of them start with the phrase 'I can fix him'...

*work partner, for clarity.

(I am a Libertarian, for the record.)

Also, can I say how much bullshit the 'If you commit suicide you can't be buried in this graveyard' is?

Another thing to get mad at.

This is awesome stuff!

Nice, as always.

Look, when the pilots I know are like "nah fam, I'm walking",
I think you could be excused for bringing a parachute.

A lot of us tried...

but a better analogy is it's a HOA where I we were shouted down and half the people didn't show because 'it wasn't important.'

As a programmer, if you told me I had to restart a successful program from scratch without all the issues WITHOUT the expectation of trying to keep the legacy version running?

I'd assume I was having one of those dreams where I'm also working with super nice understanding clients...

So what would you have the leadership say?
Besides Trump is a out of control, which they all have been saying?

Not show up and make Trumps job easier?
Refuse to participate at all and just make speeches outside the building, so that they can step on the gas?

What type of push back do you expect?

You're talking sense, but the wound is still fresh.

Once the scar tissue has set in, and people stop the circular firing squad, this all will start to set in.

I'll hold a lot of things against the Democratic establishment.

Hell, I'm not even a Democrat, despite effectively being forced to vote for Democrat straight ticket for the past 9 years,

But we're at the point where purity tests and performance have any real value.

I don't like it either,

but at the same time anyone who actually wants to resist Trump and is in the house or senate right now HAS TO SAY THIS.

To prevent things from happening, to delay laws, to prevent hardliners from getting rid of the Filibuster, the few pliable republicans have to help.

I work with people developing low level tools that use client side 'AI' for autofill and suggestion purposes, including scope limiting to prevent coders from accidentally re-enabling vulnerable code.

Simple, commonsense stuff that should be getting funds,
But it isn't getting the money right now.

Wait until either the real price tag drops and people abandon it because 'It's not worth it',

or wait until they bankrupt themselves because it never hits a point where they can go to step two of the enshitification challenge.

Gonna need the house's approval to do pretty much anything of note, and they can afford to lose exactly 4 votes. (And for the first few months, they can afford to lose 1 vote.)

And cutting jobs puts Republican house reps in both Maryland and Virginia at risk.

Musk gonna be hearing this a lot:
