…i was scrolling usenet around 17.30 CDT on april 29th, 1992 when a friend posted that a riot was gathering outside his window; the news broke about an hour later…

…it’s okay; they do metric, too…

…presuming that quasi-representative elections happen in 2026 and 2028, which are by no means assured…

…as someone who opposed the fascist-in-chief by civil means and will be wholly caught up in the economic maelstrom, i’m looking forward to watching this unfold, too: it’s the only thing which might save us from full-blown armed conflict and martial law…

(yep, but i just woke up as i was typing, so i’ll leave it as a mark of shame)

…get that f*ucking plural-comma apostrophe out of my face…

^{1 head + 5 handle}

…well they are backwards, they’re only about one-third of the electorate, and they will never ever vote fascist-light; meanwhile there’s another unrepresented third of the electorate just waiting for anyone to offer them something worth voting FOR…

We’d love to, but manufacturers keep trying to force them down our throats.

…that’s not where they’re supposed to go…

YOU wOULDN’T
DOWNLOAd A
CIVILISATION

…i use base 12 every day; it’s fantastically useful and foundational to civilisation for good reason…

…oh, oh, there’s an RPG setting i read like this recently!..like magi-punk high fantasy mashed-up with the legions of hell and heaven allying with various nation-states in open industrial warfare…

(now it’s going to bug me until i can find it)

…quod erat demonstrandum…

…if it was good enough for the rosenbergs, it’s good enough for the trumps…

…they read select verses which are spoon-fed their bible-study curriculum…

…christians are f*cking evil, full stop…

…my mazda 2 outhandles my MX-5s and is the only car i’ve driven which keeps pace with my elise; we’ve been waiting for an electric subcompact hatchback for about ten years now but the stateside market keeps doing everything it can not to offer me one…

…nope; her education was 1980s DoDDS, mine was 1980s TEA…

…i have an abigail larson tarot deck; it’s pretty cool but the cards feel kind of cheaply-made…

(yes, secession; autocorrect squiggled it into another word as i was typing)

…just that, though: we were taught that emancipation was just one of many issues stemming from increasingly-fundamental differences in economic, social, and international policy, and that the war itself precipitated from the southern states asserting a right to secession and sovereignty which the federal government did not grant…

…we were also taught that the spark was actually southern states’ seizure of federal assets…

…likewise; my wife was apoplectic when i suggested that the civil war was about secession…
