Human greatness lies not in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. Father, techie, builder of things.
Stopped using Twitter the day Elon bought it. Do yourself a favor, and get off that filthy platform for good.

It’s either that or combining a face transplant with a witness protection program.
And it’s well deserved.
No bone spurs detected.

This makes sense to me. Maybe trump’s promiscuity - his version of Vietnam he claims he survived just like a soldier - didn’t happen without a personal cost. I am gonna research late stage syphilis so I can learn more.
Or mars, with a one way ticket.

This is the fight of our lives. Donald Trump and his unelected henchmen are actively destroying our government, our democracy, and our way of life. We only have one choice, and that's to fight back as loudly and aggressively as possible.”
This is a time of crisis for the nation and the world. This is no time for moral equivocation. Nobody is going to give a shit later that you didn’t like Trump. The point is you voted for him. The point is you continued to support him and his mollusk-spined appeasers.

Robert Harrington: “Historians today have a name for Germans who supported Hitler’s regime because they believed he would make Germany great again.
