@ Zaphod > I’ve binge-read Sarah Hoyt this week (got behind in February), and her post today is also a good one to ponder.

@TR:

A marble bust of Jefferson could come in handy in the same way that tomahawks and black powder muskets are better than nothing.

But damn… these guys and their sense of priorities!

@Zaphod

I know, right?

Next thing you know, these “up to date” people, will be interfering with my:
black powder muskets, my Tomahawk throwing, + my going down the road and listening to Thomas Jefferson…giving his speeches!

Beware of the odd WORDS, they say-

The Federal government is going to remove the offensive word, “squaw” from the names of federal places + sites.

I don’t blame these Govt. people for doing this, but who- born after 1980, in the US, has even heard the word, squaw?

Happy Two’s Day! I thought it a pity that I didn’t have any pear juice to pass around with work folks at 2:22 p. m. But I did send off a celebratory text at exactly 2:22:22.2

We won’t get another day like this until 2111, so it was worth playing up a bit.

DeathSantis needs more dead people. What the heck is he doing?

Well, the air here in FL is just more antiseptic, I guess.
Or a lot more infected people are just holding their breath.

It is rich to read Z speaking for Xi, and of course bringing in the Jews again. And in a “two fer” as only Z “can do!” telling Geoffrey that we are in a Panopticon (hat tip Jeremy Bentham) when just the other day Z alluded to him being treated to Xi’s tender mercies if he speaks wrongly, and how great that is compared to we the proles.

America isn’t Canada yet, but Z it seems has more to fear than even the Canadians. Stockholm syndrome in the far east keeps him tranquil? Or is it an requirement of his freedom to sing Xi’s tune?

Simple questions from a prole.

Apologies for the verbosity.
