No society is immune from embracing evil on a mass scale. We read about the atrocities of the past, and we ask ourselves, "how could so many act with such cruelty?" But that cruelty is always a mirror reflection away. Evil that's popular is still evil. Resistance means rejecting that popularity.

Why do most alien planets on Star Trek shows look like southern California.

I'm shuffling tonight, despite the fatigue!

I worry way too much about things I cannot control, like climate change, the performance of Cleveland's professional baseball team, and the general asininity of most of the population.

I'm fitting right in with spooky season, since I'm so perpetually, excruciatingly exhausted that I'm basically zombie cosplaying.

Every baseball team I decide to pull for ends up crashing and burning.

"Why bother thinking for yourself when you can just spend all of your mental effort asking a machine to think for you?!"

I've been dealing with what feels like chronic fatigue for over a year now. Every day is a slog because I'm so worn out. I know I have sleep apnea & I hope that's the reason for the fatigue, but I can't do anything about it until I undergo a sleep study, & I can't do that until December.

An end to this war is the first step towards some semblance of peace. Even if that peace has Trump's image attached, if the peace holds (and if recent history is any indication, it very well may not hold) it's still preferable to more war. Hope for peace to stay.
