Dazed and confused 24/7/365 but very much interested in seeing how it all turns out. Love: short stories, my dog, pizza, naps, art, esp. Paul Klee.

Fusion is still banned in most states, it was done for exactly this sort of reason. @centerforballotfreedom.org is involved in some promising litigation to bring it back in several states arguing, correctly, it violates state con. equivalents of the First Amendment.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Something to Note: Every major category of violent crime is down in Chicago, but there is no push to declare the progressive mayor Brandon Johnson a successful crime fighter because he didn’t invest in militarization. Even when progressives are successful, they won’t get credit.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?
