I have hundreds of masks at home, provided by Bloc types since I'm severely immunocompromised - anyone entering my house has to be masked. I encourage visitors to take handfuls.

Whether it's Republicans flagrantly abusing Articles One and Two of the Constitution or Democrats being bad at messaging, both parties are pushing America to the brink.

A new civil war is a small price to pay if it gives me the distraction I need to not release the Epstein Files.

JD Vance wants to use the 25th Amendment to become president. Stephen Miller wants to exploit Trump’s dementia to run the country himself. Call it the new checks and balances.

As a late addendum:

It is really funny that the going excuse for having shitty social media policies is that actually this is a coding company and one day the code will maybe work well enough to possibly solve the problem.

A true failure on all fronts. This shit is busted from top to bottom

In much lighter posts.
