A brief update to my ongoing reporting on River Gorge Ranch: https://t.co/pxdzVsHHF4

Nice. I gave Eli Cranor some hot peppers today. I was home gardening while Eli visited his former teacher, the poet Johnny Wink, who has lived across the street from me for 30 years. I went all fanboy. Arkadelphia is a happening town.

I spend weeks away from X and don’t miss it at all, then a writer I like posts something, and here I am doom-scrolling again. I blame the weather.

If Trump becomes president again, after all we know ,and you supported his campaign you will have participated in the end of American democracy.
You will not be rewarded by your leader beyond a rush you might seek for upending civility.
You aren't part of his plan.
He is the entirety of his plan and the future will belong to him.
Not you.
You won't get a thank you or a knowing nod.
He will allow you to buy trinkets with his image and name emblazoned.
Trump is a despicable example of human kind.
Devoid of compassion.
Devoid of any respect for knowledge and education.
Trump is the fully realized Id.
He will have no guardians , no guard rails and no shame.
He cannot tell the difference between what he is and what he wants.
There is none when you analyze the situation.
He flunks Descarte's building block syllogism automatically.
He can't think so no therefore.
Ego driven rage and revenge.
If you're inclined to assist him please rethink your reasons.

@stephenharrigan What, me worry?

@Superherologist The IT Crowd episode “Gay: The Musical.” One of the funniest TV episodes ever made.

@stephenharrigan I can never seem to part with mine, either. I can open to any page, and that story comes back to me.
