Trump does not remember what he said 2 days ago, much less two weeks. The truth is easy to remember, but a tangled web of lies is not.

Donald Trump has completely lost connections to reality. He does not have the capacity to serve as president, quite obviously.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

This is like a P90, but with a really even sound as you move across the strings, and with excellent clarity and sustain. Needs a 250K pot, I find. I'm currently using a 0.022 cap, but I may go to 0.033, we'll see. I've been playing it clean or mild distortion.
