1. Gavin and I are not close.

2. I actually believe Gavin is a fraud.

3. Even though online poker should be legal everywhere, under current law operators like Global are essentially sidestepping/skirting the intent of the law.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

LOOKING FOR GROUND SUPPORT AT X

Can't you Bluesky folks send over, say, 20 people at a time, and rotate them out for a fresh 20 people every week?

This would prevent mental burnout and give us well-rested, alert keyboard warriors to fight the never-ending battles.

That's a great analogy -- I just pray that you are wrong.

(At the moment, yes, I am losing my mind. Just refuse to cede the dialog and the territory to all those speaking untruths and spouting toxic hate.)

Why do you all keep sitting over here on your soft asses?

You cannot ignore the evil, you have to speak to the evil.

We're losing.

We've gotta step outside this bubble.

We need to confront the close-minded at every front.

We must fight rhetorical fire with rhetorical fire.

We have to combat every fiction with actual fact.

And if facts don't trump fiction, we won't have a democratic republic any more.

I have largely abandoned BlueSky because it is an echo chamber.

I have reluctantly continued to traffic on X in an attempt to call out the untruths that taint the platform.

Frankly, it feels like a losing battle, but I cannot sleep at night (or during the day) just letting the bad people run wild.

Appreciate the kind words.

As for signing the ace of spades, due to my uncertain professional future, I now must monetize that chore:

It is now $1.25 per card, or $2.99 for two of them.
