Been thinking about the “Chaos is a ladder” speech a lot lately

Dude’s been in office nearly four years and hasn’t figured out that the job *isn’t about him*. Or that, you know, it has actual *responsibilities*. Even after he failed his four-year performance review.

Minecraft Dungeons secret level
I unlocked the secret cow level in Minecraft Dungeons. Leveled up twice while battling zillions of mushroom cows. Ended up getting killed by a freaking MOOSHROOM MONSTROSITY
I was thinking the Mooshrooms would be neutral, like they are in the main game.
Nope. It was like navigating a stampede.
Oh, and some of them were enchanted.
Yep.
Enchanted Mooshrooms gone aggro.

A bit weird to hear an ice cream truck tooling around as the sun sets before 5pm in November. Then again it was something like 80 degrees today, so 🤷♂️

Anyway, I’m relieved at the result of the election, though in a sane country it wouldn’t have been as close as it was. Trump started his term taking a sledgehammer to the walls and when the house caught fire, he cheerfully tossed gas on it figuring he’d look better by firelight. I’ll happily take someone who’ll at least try to put the fire out, even if his repair plans aren’t perfect.

JFC there are still people who think there’s “no difference” between the two major parties? Have you fucking been paying any attention for the past 4 years????
First substantial rain of the season. That’s two things to be happy about today!

Election maps typically show land. But land doesn’t vote.
Election maps typically show land. But land doesn’t vote. People vote. Whether they’re spread out over a lot of land or concentrated in a city.
And if land did vote, I suspect it wouldn’t be voting for the party that’s consistently rolled back environmental protections.
