Sorry if I don't engage with your political posts. It's not that I don't see them or don't care. It's just that the hatch act is real for people like me.

If you're wondering, "what's happening, here." We live close to a road and windy days blow trash over the common area so I go out there and pick it up because we live in a society.

Now I have to clone myself to pick up the extra litter. This is why I can't stand cloning.

Getting this to my cloning guy and now what. Now you've littered and your clone is out there hunting you.

I'm not a crypto investor, but sometimes seeing these big numbers makes me think I would have sold sooner and then would not have lost all my money and now I am that one arrested development meme.

Phil's newsletter just reminded me to check out climatetrace.org and see who's polluting my air. Worth signing up for, imo!
