We're gonna see a lot more "Experts baffled Trump did x thing" and the word "unprecedented" show up in headlines again for at least the next four years. Sleep in the bed you made, fuckwads.

They forgot to include "MIND is wandering".

Republicans want drones and cannon fodder, not scientists and intellectuals.

We didn't learn our lesson all the years Trump was president last time. We ignored the Proud Boys, the Nazis in Charlottesville with their tiki torches, the bible photo op after beating aside protestors. None of this mattered to most of us outside the moment they happened. We're all quickly absorbing the news in these small increments and consider it all to be a normal part of life in America.

I don't think there's an easy way to convince ourselves that we shouldn't put up with this, especially now that the orange fascist is reelected. People want comforting lies and violent rhetoric because they're used to it. They want to be told the US is the best country in the world and if we just got rid of the undesirables we'll be back to our glory days, whatever they think that may be.

Ayreon is so damn theatrical that they made and filmed an opera called "The Theater Equation" and it's pretty damn glorious. Check out Dream Theater's "The Astonishing" if you want to hear a more dramatic story as well. If you want something more symphonic with mostly traditional orchestral instruments, Blind Guardian's "Twilight Orchestra - Legacy of the Badlands" will scratch that itch. Shadow Gallery, Symphony X, and Threshold are also honorable mentions.

It's still better than WebEx because I don't have to log in to that piece of shit software to start a video call.

The idea is to deliberately give them a small amount of money so they won't dispute the inheritance by saying they were overlooked.

Boomers were drawn in to MAGA to protect their wealth. Gen Z kids were attracted by the promise of lifting them out of poverty and change of the status quo on this. Fascists are really good at convincing people on all parts of the economic spectrum.

That's an uncomfortable yet valid question. A significant portion of Gen Z kids were exposed to the MAGA shit through Rogan or Tate. I'm not a parent, but I'd put some serious thought into limiting their inheritance on the down low.

I don't know most of these mascots or what they're for and that makes me happy.
