  And now I’m officially 100% done with gaming, since that’s the last game I’d continued playing from time to time (when I have a spare few minutes and a whim to fire it up, that is).

  Oh well, part of getting older. I think I also have Halo and a Modern Warfare on that XBox, but, meh. WWII was the best CoD (the most fun, at least to me).

  I was sorely disappointed to learn that Grammer is a member of the MAGA cult.

  Judges can make rulings “blocking” Trump’s actions. But he ignores those rulings and keeps on going.

  At some point, push will come to shove; meaning, these judicial rulings will have to be enforced, somehow.

  There’s not really a good vehicle for enforcing the law on rogue presidents. Unless someone is willing to physically arrest and detain him, possibly muscling past secret service in order to (attempt to) do so.

  If someone will be willing to enforce the law, and can successfully do so, the Constitution may be saved.

  If not, we de facto have a king, regardless of de jure court rulings.

  I’m (barely) old enough to remember when cable television was touted and sold as “ad free.”

  I’m also old enough to remember when satellite radio was touted and sold as “as free.”

  Never believe them. Enshittification is inevitable, and planned.

  That’s how we got the Nazis to stop the first time around: we sat down with them over a cup of tea and expressed our unity with them.

  Oh no, wait, that’s not how we defeated Fascism, at all.

  We didn’t defeat the Nazis the first time with amnesty, conversation, and kindness.

  We defeated them by stabbing them, shooting them, and fire bombing their cities.

  We will have to do it again.
