Continuing to plot out the book I hope I'm writing. And hang out with the family. And clean. And get rid of more crap. Ooh, and a friend's birthday dinner tomorrow ❤️

Hopefully my ratio of writing to the other stuff is decent.

Me neither. Part of that came from watching him for a while.

I wish one of those steps ahead had been a successful prosecution.

Reason.com is a publication that's been around for years, decidedly libertarian lean. No idea what that means for it in current political context. I used to see people from Reason on Bill Maher's show as non-Republican conservative-ish voices.

women can't marry older than 25? What kind of bass ackwards handmaid's tale bullshit is that?

Japanese instructors in college would tell us how older unmarried women would be referred to as 'Christmas Cakes'--no one wanted one after the 25th. Although they were happy that had been a changing attitude.

Why do you think they want everyone uneducated and saddled with more kids than they want/can afford?

I'm willing to bet there's millions of women who didn't vote/voted for the male candidate in part due to internalized misogyny.

Yeah, a lot has been said about why the 'Democrats' failed; sure they were/are imperfect.

Where are the articles bemoaning our stupid and/or mean citizens who have no curiosity and think being obstinate will work like a time machine? I'm frustrated to hell with apathy of my countrymen.

Also, even if they can get into Canada, where will they live? Canada's real estate market started getting hot before the US market did. This sucks.

The people who will be in power around him might well get rid of him themselves for all the use they want. He's getting them to power. Vance and Musk and Thiel and whoever the fuck else don't care about Trump. They want power.

Book recommendation: Persepolis. It's a graphic novel autobiography of a girl who lived through the Iranian revolution and eventually moved to Paris. It's a very accessible read.
