Time Is A Flat Circle.

[A meme with Doctor Manhattan from the comic book Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Doctor Manhattan is on Mars, with the text captions "I am 11 years old. A Republican president is waging war in the Middle East. I am 23 years old. A Republican president is waging war in the Middle East. I am 46 years old. A Republican president is waging war in the Middle East."]

I don't want to be in a state of "I hope all of the stupid jerks who voted for Trump because they believed Kamala Harris was the one who would start another stupid, pointless war are having the day they voted for." Because, as per usual, it's the innocent victims who did absolutely nothing to deserve this who will suffer the most. But that is where I am right now, regardless.

Back in 1999, Neal Stephenson wrote in In The Beginning Was The Command Line that we as a species were trying to evolve into a global society that had agreed not to nuke itself. 27 years later, it very much feels like we have regressed back into a society that is actively trying to nuke itself.

Whatever. I voted for the Prosecutor Lady, because I knew she would *not* do any of the crap that Cheeto Shitler is doing right now. Nine years ago, I voted for the Email Lady for the same reason. Five years ago, I voted for Dark Brandon. 26 years ago, I voted for The Guy Who Supposedly Invented The Internet. And I voted twice for Obama. And so it goes.
