Can one cancel their WaPo subscription multiple times? Like, I don't know, daily, perhaps?

Schrödinger's uncle, if you will.

The death of expertise. Everything must be dumb and immediately enjoyable. God forbid you even try to explain mildly complicated things, say, on TV.

That is a møøse.

Loved it. Poke the bear. What is this. I've done those.

Including telling recently my boss of 15 years to fuck off. Todestrieb? Maybe not. I had two jobs, now one. But I left the crew of the Nostromo, at least.

Leni would call it "Triumph der Dummheit".

Can one overdose from Mozart Kugeln?

Try cooking with them to increase risk! They go well in chicken curries.

Was consumed all day at work by the fact that trump tweeted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" at Iran, which from any normal president would be hugely consequential and it wasn't even a story because the media has just sort of deformed itself into nihilistic acceptance of the fact that he's insane

HeLiEdToUs they'll say.

I'll sharpen my words—duel at dawn?

Cringe all the way down.

We still joke that we would reunite, to the horror of the wives. 🤣

I covered debaser on the bass guitar in another century, 🤣.

Not as good as French pancakes, John.

I'm so fucking glad I cancelled my subscription. I just wish I could cancel it even more.

DOGE all the way down.

What a silly question. I'm visiting the pancake country (aka France). The only question is _where_ we'll get the next pancake from.

"Post lux, tenebras" seems appropriate for these times.

Mike, I'm so sorry this didn't work out. Wishing you well from distant Switzerland. Healing takes time, unfortunately...

Those young people were us, 30 years ago... 🙄🤣

Are you going to other places in the region? Besides the obvious National Parks, I really love route 12, between Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon...

I wonder what happened last time people were called untermenshen

"When one party desires to triumph over another by any means—even through crime—the republic is in danger." — Sallust

The fall of Rome didn’t start with swords. It started with factions that chose power over principle.

In other words, he doesn't give a fuck about anything else than retribution for real (or perceived) slights.

There is this tendency everywhere in society. You don't try to explain even moderately complex things to people, because everybody (supposedly) wants only easy, entertaining, to not say pleasurable, things.

It's the great dumbing down.

If he was not, how would we tell?

Can we fast forward to that point, please? PLEASE?

Nukes all the way down
