Someone correct this assumption … loaded with more hubris than is comfortable for me to carry: I can tell whether you have read On the American Upside Down, On the Rise of the American Anti-Vaxxer, or On the Obstructionist Agenda by whether you've chosen to amplify it.
I do hope everyone that's read the following essay picked up the educational outreach angle I was laying down (particularly how garbage-in relates to proper hydration):
This is not your father's civil rights movement. I really wish everyone would read (and comprehend) these slapdash notes so we might begin combating this crisis in a way that may actually lead to success.
.@manton Side note: getting log entries like the one below, thought you might be interested.
.@manton Another option might be downloadable logs. These could then be opened with an application built for filtering log files (like Console on OS X).
Watching #CrossConnection
…the people will expect [Biden and Harris] to convert promissory notes into bonafide benefit. Failure to do so would breed apathy … perhaps even anger.
If anyone knows how to get my essays before the eyes of these little f$&kers in my television set so they might cease stumbling through the discussion of this particular constitutional crisis each morning during the time I allot them to enter the room whilst waking up, do share.
For the record, the #Peacemaker eagle has #TheWalkingDead dog status. Y'all better not f$&k wit' it.
Bonus points awarded to #WolfLikeMe for referencing the following in episode three:
#WolfLikeMe is legit

Raining on parades this evening … did I miss anyone?
When you don't feel like checking whether those four Twitter threads you just postified for use in an upcoming post actually look the way you intended them to when you hit the publish button from Ulysses.
It's a Tribal Thing
They call themselves "pro-life", much like Radio Shack used to call it's equipment "Realistic", instead of "Real"...
It's a tribal thing … and we'll continue to be ruled by the tribal whims of an old white regime desperately clinging to minority rule on the eve of a minority majority … as we fixate on the beating of our own drum … the shadows dancing on the periphery of our sight casting beastly shapes … shapes never fully in focus … always just enough blur to allow the mind to play tricks.
Follow the F$&kin' Sign
The problem is that they'll never admit they were conned. Their egos won't let them admit they were fooled, so they'll keep defending him.
Rigidity can be overcome … not for all … but for enough.
The thing is … very few seem to be actively attempting to reach those within grasp.
I want to gain so much influence that my money is worthless.
I know right? What I would give to have everyone just read the essays that follow (whether they agree or not is their prerogative).
Like this one explaining what's at the heart of America's existential crisis:
Or this one explaining what's at the heart of America's failure to cope with a deadly pandemic:
Or this one explaining how half the battle for minority rule may be won simply by obstructing progress:
Or this one explaining what is missing from this era … and what it's been replaced with that keeps our little dumpster fire so well fed:
Alas, poor Yorick, they read them not … so I rant … and bide my time … and watch the sky at night … waiting for the Dibiasky Comet to enter the frame.
In Case Anyone is Confused
In case anyone is confused as to why 2021 force fed you the definition of critical race theory.
In case anyone is confused as to why the whitewashing has been cranked up to eleven and white nationalism has been mainstreamed.
Feeding lunch to lil' miss finicky.
Gonna postify a few Twitter threads in a bit so I can preserve anonymity in that post I just mentioned I would be writing.
I just archived all of yesterday's interactions with the disgruntled … think I may put a little guide together. It is a great example of what not to do should you wish to avoid looking foolish. I could give tips on off ramp recognition when facing opposition taking no pleasure.
The bare minimum of what you oughta be able to answer should you wish to participate in a constructive argument … and y'all have no idea how quiet folks suddenly get when asked.
.@manton Is it possible to get more of these error messages or are you receiving them truncated? The structure of my invocations causes these messages to truncate just when they are about to become helpful.

4 parts Politics-As-UsualThese are the ingredients one grinds to paste with the pestle when concocting a cure for last February's bout with optimism:
#FixedIt
We do all realize that it is Sinema and Manchin's donors, not constituents, that want to preserve minority rule via the 60 vote threshold, correct?
