Yes, very familiar with the "oh but TECHNICALLY I HAVEN'T ANNOUNCED MY CANDIDACY YET" situation (just watch the first 10 seconds). Gaffe made while in Japan on his "book tour". He had a fresh gaffe just yesterday when he completely lost his cool after being asked by a reporter about allegations that he assisted in torture force-feedings in Gitmo.

Glad you enjoyed the trip report :). Yeah someone I know was floating the idea a Fallout game series addition set in Florida, and I was like uhhhhh it's too boring from a topographical perspective, but we quickly solved that problem with the addition of some massive radioactive craters, of course.

Yeah I just voted in my local election a couple days ago. Won't miss another election of any type, ever. Sending patience back atcha, because I'm worried how scorched Earth DeSantis will go if re-elected governor.

May I please introduce you to the book series “Annihilation” (alongside it’s same-name cinematic adaptation) set in the most bio-diverse location in the U.S.: Florida’s panhandle, the home to Apalachicola National Forest. ‘Cuz while the GOP doesn’t want to recognize climate change, but the USACE sends $7bn to FL for conservation, the GOP controlled state has matched that number in recognizing its value until recently where friends in environmental lobbies are getting laid off for political reasons.

ohmahgawd. Yeah… this guy is doing a world tour while we’ve had the wildest weather. Japan for floodings with no response, Jerusalem for the tornados across the panhandle. And he’s out selling books around the globe when his state has no leadership to guide recovery or conservation efforts. 🤬

I've seen this movie. No, not Annihilation. I'll get to it eventually.
