Can you imagine the public comments? Sane people making sane/sentimental/historical points on one side. A bunch of "muh heritage" dolts on the other side defending ... the destruction/desecration of part of our national heritage.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.

I have to go earn an engineering degree and a PhD in neurology next month. I need to build a bed-desk combo that both lets me sleep *and* allows my fingers to keep typing the novel at the same time.

I remember that scene in "Tombstone" where Wyatt shouts, "Damn it, Ike! Get in the fight or get out of the way!" Then Hegseth raises his RPG and splatters the fleeing Cowboy onto the portrait studio wall, and the boardwalk, and the dusty street.

What a night.
Six hours of writing (novel in progress) ending @ 4:30 a.m. Slept, not by choice. Dreams braided several strands. Woke at 10 and cranked out another 15 pages already.
Being a binge writer annoys me. Ideas swirl for days and days, then just explode all at once. Bigger payoff, I guess.

There’s been a flurry of court cases this week that appear to bolster the concept of an authoritarian president.
They’re ramping it up. Accelerating. All of it.
They know that they need Trump as figurehead to put their “permanent #Project2025” in place.
They don’t know how long Trump will last.
