I wish I could stop being surprised by the US going full Nazi. I don’t mean I want to shrug and ignore it. I just want to stop the jolt I feel every time I read about a Nazi regime doing something Nazi.

A little earthworm sings its laments for Biffo finding a giant golden boulder partially peeking out of the ground in his backyard and immediately giving up all idea of digging it up and walking away.
