Just a collosal self own. China risked nothing and won. Xi is playing the US dictator like a fiddle.

Well, after a couple of days of field work checking to Bluesky.

World is still shit.

Goodbye.

Here's a dog with a disc wishing I would pick it up and throw it and being slightly exasperated I have not yet.

Some joy came in the mail today! Used to get a few of these a year but I'm getting long in the tooth and the time between weddings is getting longer too.

I thought lifted trucks rutted in the fall?
