“Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested Dec. 18 in Grand Junction, Colorado, after police say he followed KKCO/KJCT reporter Ja’Ronn Alex’s vehicle for around 40 miles (64 kilometers) from the Delta area. Alex told police that he believed he had been followed and attacked because he is Pacific Islander. After arriving in Grand Junction, Egan, who was driving a taxi, pulled up next to Alex at a stoplight and, according to an arrest affidavit, said something to the effect of: “Are you even a U.S. citizen? This is Trump’s America now! I’m a Marine and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you!” Alex, who had been out reporting, then drove back to his news station in the city. After he got out of his vehicle, Egan chased Alex as he ran toward the station’s door and demanded to see his identification, according to the document laying out police’s evidence in the case. Egan then tackled Alex, put him in a headlock and “began to strangle him,” the affidavit said. Coworkers who ran out to help and witnesses told police that Alex appeared to be losing his ability to breathe during the attack, which was partially captured on surveillance video, according to the document.”

Is this anything
Well. I wouldn't say I'm normally the type to doompost, but...what's the fucking point?
Of course, I'm talking about the one thing on everyone's keyboards this past, like, month. The thing that's had America - plus millions of others - holding bated breaths, shuddering in anticipation.
And it's fucking over. The sentient splotch of Sunny-D won:
- The presidency, 224/277
- The Senate, 42/52
- The House, 180/198
That wrinkled orange fuck apparently wasn't reviled enough to not see a second (and probably longer) term, but he's not even my big concern.
He got ALL 3 of the House, Senate and Presidency.
You know that little Project we've been trying to warn about, spread awareness of? That one about next year? Yeah, with leads on all 3 there's functionally nothing stopping The Heritage Foundation from pushing all of that through. And you know what is perhaps the most tantamount part of it? The effective LGBTQ+ bans; by labeling us as 'pornographic' which they seek a ban on
And, though I don't believe any are mentioned in the Project itself, that will likely include website and social media bans.
I guess this whole long-winded, "We're so fucked I'm typing in proper case" diatribe is just to say that...I'll miss this place. The gay autism website is no doubt going to be among the first removed.
Of course, I'd love to be proven wrong. I'd love to look back, 2 years from now, and laugh at the thought of fascism truly holding that kind of power. But the person I am now, I couldn't possibly.
And I'll no doubt keep fighting. If this is what takes me, I'll go down fighting, defiant to the end.
Thank you all, for everything. Truly. :)

was rewatching into the spiderverse and god the fucking double take i just did coming back to this spiderham short scene post-2022
whenever i have a new hyperfixation, i suddenly need to know everything about it and own every piece of merchandise that has ever been created because its the only thing i can think or talk about.
i simply cannot like something in a “normal way”
hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)
there is delaware (state) and delaware (river)
both are equally strange
the state is a tiny little cryptid thing
the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.
the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.
