"The social media hype around Republican Rep. Nancy Mace? It’s largely created by bots. WIRED reported Wednesday that the South Carolina congresswoman couldn’t figure out how to grow her own online fanbase, and so she forced staff members to make fake accounts to bolster her image."

Phi and Suze, Clint, my mother, and now Bastard have all died in the last 2 months. I loved all of them. This isn't nice or easy. During this time, I've also had to move, as a political refugee, from Texas. I'm exhausted. I'm glad I found me a neurodivergent therapist. We start tomorrow. For once, I have plenty to talk about.

@ai6yr A Modest Proposal For Relocating #BurningMan to Bikini Atoll.
Benefits:
1. Already surrounded by water.
2. #Burners could arrive by sailboat, mitigating carbon impact.
3. Not even 70,000 techbros could do more environmental damage than the 23 nuclear explosions already conducted there.
4. Admit it: exposing these people to high levels of caesium-137 is not necessarily a bad thing.
5. You want a festival-ending conflagration? WE CAN ARRANGE THE FESTIVAL-ENDING CONFLAGRATION TO END ALL FESTIVAL-ENDING CONFLAGRATIONS!!

[Edit: The Nat'l Guard thing seems to be a rumor. (For now.)]

I hope all you assholes who threw a selfish fit, called the cops, & nearly killed a bunch of women over being delayed in traffic for 45 min by climate activists asking #Burners to care about the #ClimateCrisis, get your government rescue. /s/

Libbros are a joke. You couldn't help yourselves out of a paper bag.
