"Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely." John Milton, 1644. Me: charged with terrorism for holding some cardboard, 2025.

I still have an account at The Other Place. Whatever I post nearly all the reactions are from bots, sex workers or scammers. Does anyone know what percentage of the users are not grifters?

The USA is now a white supremacist fascist state. The dictator has private armies of thugs. The Proud Boys have got away with killing police officers. The Klan is terrorizing immigrants out of the country. The rights and freedoms of political opponents are being stripped away.

Why continue to live when ME/CFS has emptied your life? All I do is eat and sleep and try to blank out the agony in my head by putting a pillow over it or watching TV. Isn't it logical to resolve things with a knife or a rope? There's nothing else to do.

Gaetz may have raped a child prostitute, but that's hardly the point. The point is that Trump wants a list of opponents in the Senate. It's stage 1 of his plan to cripple his enemies so he can rule like Putin, Xi & Kim. He'll use Justice, IRS, the SC & MAGA mobs to drive people out of public life.

Can we admit that colonising #Mars is a non-starter? We'd have to live in an airtight box. And there's not enough gravity so the box would be a spinning space station. We could do that right here. But who wants to live like that? Never go outside. No trees or animals. I don't get it.
