How Much Do I Really Need to Know?

There was a coup. It was successful. It is ongoing and escalating. Elon Musk retains more or less total control over a huge amount of the federal government’s apparatus and its spending. Protests are building. Congress largely hasn’t reacted. The Democratic Party shows few signs of behaving like an opposition party. Some of the purges are being walked back, piecemeal.

Accept that and prepare for it.

We watched Anora last night and… I don’t see what The Academy apparently sees.

This whole Bond sequence at The Oscars is… Interesting timing.
