Ten Things That Occurred to Me #38
Whenever I see those “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” questions on the Internet, I always answer “Play the Powerball”. I'm pretty sure that’s not what they were looking for, but that is what I would do.
It really bums me out that so much of politics has become performative and a form of entertainment. Watch a movie, for goodness sake.
If you want to live in a free society, you have to accept that other people will want to live differently than you. You just do. If you don't accept that, and try to tell people how to live, then you are against a free society and are in favor of something other than a free society.

I'm not going to link to it, but I was shocked, saddened, and repulsed that there is a site out there for taking donations for January 6 defendants.
