Seems legit.

I have now read like my 30th long-form think-piece following this pattern: "Now that the nation has conclusively embraced Fascism, here's what you can do to join The Resistance -- "

@donw Wow, that's some horseshit. Number 13 would also seem to ban dress codes of any kind, I wonder how DC's private clubs feel about that. Surely they wouldn't just ignore *the law*.

@davidgerard Something that I don't understand -- maybe you do? I am still on monthly billing. ("You need to switch to subscription billing by November 2025"). Am I and my subscribers currently being fucked over by this new iOS thing? Do I need to warn them about it? Or will the fuckery commence only when they finally force me to switch?

@jonpsp I feel like it's implausible that anyone told someone of Bowie's stature what to do. He had enough swimming pools. It's like claiming that someone told Prince to change something for mass appeal.

It is 4 days after the election and we already had to turn away a MAGA hat-wearer at the door. "What if I wear it backwards?" "No. Have a good night, Sir."

@berdario No, nobody can explain it to you. Because he's going to say some crazy shit, and maybe someone with financial self interest in having the economy not collapse will tell him no? But probably not?

We are so fucked.

"Try not to stress out about the big picture", they said. "Focus on your community", they said. Great idea! Here are just two topics that kept me from sleeping last night: These asinine tariffs mean the price of all of our products...

@Chancerubbage Lots of things "might" be true. In what way do you feel your insight was even remotely helpful?
