My great fear is that humans are smart enough to adapt to their natural environment, but not smart enough to adapt to their artificial one.

He’s president of a nation he knows absolutely nothing about.

Yes.

This is the greatest trick the devil ever played. Convincing people that they are only going to take the rights/funding/vote from people you don't care about.

Explain to me how 200 National Guardsmen protecting a few city blocks will deter crime in a city which takes up 145 square miles. This is not about crime.

Mark Russell @manruss.bsky.social · 10d

That’s good, I suppose!
