Look, I'm not saying Canada should surround and seize Washington D.C. to save us from fascism. I'm just saying that in case they *do*, I've plotted out three invasion routes they could use without being cut off from certain critical supplies.

After All This is over, we need to replace literally every elected official in the federal government, and rewrite the constitution to prevent This from ever happening again.
That is, if we even think the United States is even worth keeping

I really don't get weirdos like JD Vance or Donald Trump who are so desperate for love and accolades
I just assume that nobody likes me, and I'm doing just fine

I rode passenger today on an ICE patrol in my neighborhood in Minneapolis.
Our ride was mostly uneventful, the neighborhood we patrolled has been a target but just not this afternoon.
It took me a while to follow everything that is going on, and I felt rather incompetent even as a passenger […]

[A source of family trauma. Not sure if sad or funny (or both)]
A memory that explains my dad and my relationship with him is the time when I was like 12 and left for a weeklong conference. It took me three days to notice he was gone.

"We want to make Star Trek real," said Elon Musk.
"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."
