      Jesus Christ…

      Edit: this feels like a tantrum to me. Doesn’t it feel like a tantrum? The whole blind removal of anything even coincidentally related to DEI, I mean, to be clear.

          That’s true… maybe it has something to do with the fact that they’re all old and aging (no offence, I am part of the aging), maybe it’s an explosively immature type of midlife crisis. I dunno, either way it’s horrifying, don’t get me wrong. I’m just trying to make sense of the Absurd, I guess…

            Hello fellow oldster!

            I have given up trying to make sense of what’s happening. Not sure there’s sense to be made, beyond America’s urgent need for mental health care.

              You guys need at least a different President, asap…

              In all seriousness, it’s genuinely horrifying to watch even from over here. I’m shocked that more people don’t recognise what this means for the rest of the world as well. True, hard to keep track when your neighbors are literally being invaded by Russia, but… man, it’s all fucked…

                There’s plenty of blame to go around, but much of it is American media’s fault. I never watch TV news, but just got back from a long breakfast where it was unavoidably on the screen. They dedicated about 90 seconds to “Elon Musk’s cost-cutting measures,” which is a lying way to describe what that fucker is up to. The anchors kept describing their show as “America’s most watched news source” but in almost an hour, they mentioned nothing else I’d consider ‘news’.

                  True, most of what I know about the goings on seem to be coming from Left and Center sources mostly, plus maybe I was just being optimistic and the reality’s that people over here are eating it all up, too.

                  But, yeah, best to grab the bullet points, then making busy with something nourishing, because it’s “hunker down and brace for it” time…

    I am a sperm machine. Great. Very nuance.

    Watch out, everyone! That is my single defining trait and this thing has a mind of its own!

      You don’t live in the Bible Belt I take it. They’re probably jumping for joy down there. This is one of their dreams come true.
