I’m on bluesk💙 now. I don’t live here anymore, thought I’d drive by the old neighborhood.
So many people here unhappy about the current POTUS EOs.
But…
Musk paid for his election efforts. With money from X. That comes from advertisers. Who pay because you are still here.
Musk: “Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform.”
The untweeted part: “Because I don’t know what that looks like.”
Sorry, too little, too late, we all went to Bluesky to get our happy on.
Hypocritical deplorable weirdo.

@othingstodo_com Oh, you have no idea. “Allowed” was not the word. I was a latchkey kid. No one but me and my brother were in the house at all. Sometimes for days on end. Why do you think America became the land of packaged processed food, fast-food dining, and thirty-minute pizza delivery?
This is my last final goodbye.
I’ve drifted over to BlueSky.
I leave this post to say the X
Has left me rather vexed.
The new crew that I’ve there
Is better behaved, kindly, fair,

I brought to them, and that…
Is…
That!
Hmm
A citizen of any state is a US citizen. U.S. Const. art. IV.
Any US citizen who resides in a state is a citizen of that state. U.S. Const. amend. XIV.
Nothing prevents a state from declaring any person to be a state citizen. And thus, a US citizen.

Trump is back. And so too are the warnings…
The Horror of the Hour:
The H5N1 Bird Flu is now spreading in Washington and California rather quickly. Dozens of humans in those states have been infected. Sound familiar? This could be worse than Covid.

I stand corrected. The Mongolian Empire was larger than the Soviet Union (an empire built on its ability to bypass all walls), and though non-contiguous, the British Empire encompassed more land than any other (without walls at all) and still stands, kinda.

The 8 Great Walls:
1. The Sumerians’ Amorite Wall
Ur burned it’s treasury to build the wall to defend against Amorites. A few years later, Ur fell to the Amorites, the wall was ineffective.
1/8 #Border#Wall
Reflection:
Why don’t walls effectively protect empires? My thoughts: Empires are cultural constructs, not physical places to defend. If the empire isn’t viable enough to prevent cultural decay, it is doomed. Walls prevent infusion of ideas.
