Today is the day. The day the American Experiment comes to a pathetic, self inflicted, fascist end.
I’m not going to watch the “inauguration”. Beyond the previous sentence, I plan to ignore it entirely and just try to pretend that it doesn’t happen even though that is just an old jerk being silly and deluding himself. There is an afternoon Bruins game today. It is Martin Luther King day and the B’s always play a day game. You would think that would make me feel a tiny bit better but the Bruins suck right now and MLK’s memory is being spit on by the other events.
Rest in peace, American democracy. 248 years was a good run, I guess. To the rest of the civilized world, I am so sorry.
We’re going to be doing what others have suggested on BlueSky — turning on the TV to either TCM, HGTV, Food Network, whatever doesn’t give updates or broadcast the inauguration. According to them, Nielsen keeps track of whatever people are watching on TV, and by avoiding the inauguration we’ll forcibly bring down the ratings for it and get TFG and MAGA really mad! I can’t wait to NOT watch today’s events!

Have you heard of The Man In The High Castle (Prime, 2015-2019)? I started watching it last night cause it feels so possible now.

I watched the entire show and I read the book it’s based on. It definitely feels real these days.
