Sorry Gen X, we're doing what you should've done decades ago...

Hey man, we fucking tried. The boomers were against us. And we raised you to be better than us, instead of abandoning you to the wilds like we were, which was the whole point: to leave the world better than we found it.

e: that ‘better’ was you.

I dunno man, he gave me this note for you. None of my business, he’s a weird kid. (Jesus giggling behind a potted plant.)

Sociopath. Even if you hate the guy, if you’re a public figure like trump, the least you can do is muster a bit of empathy.

But he can’t, because he can’t even fathom the concept of empathy. It’s completely foreign to him.

Electing sociopaths is how you get war and genocide, as we’ve known for millennia. And we’ve given a total sociopath the levers of genocide, both abroad and at home.

This is the second time in an hour I’ve seen something about cats and citrus, which is very weird, since that doesn’t usually come up.

So, fun and slightly unrelated story:

In the late 80s, when I was a teen, we were driving through the Arizona desert to Mexico and there was this big stretch where there was just nothing. No radio, no rest stops, literally nothing. And I had to pee really bad.

So we pulled over for me to do my business. It was an open desert with nothing to hide behind, so I went a bit from the road and found the biggest bush I could. It was dead and not full enough for much privacy, but far enough that I thought it gave enough cover. So I squatted and pulled down my shorts, and heard a really loud rattle. I didn’t even think. Just scrambled back towards the car, butt naked to the sky, scraping my knees in the dirt. Not even sure when or how I pulled up my shorts.

I’d nearly pissed on a rattlesnake. The adults reassured me that they rattle instead of bite, so I wasn’t in real danger. They thought it was hilarious. I did not.

Sometimes you don’t think, you just do what you can do.

Musk and his kind are the top picture. The US will not benefit from his company’s tech. Socialist systems might, eventually.

Musk is a robber baron on a massive scale.
