Day 49

At several weeks into Trump’s second term, losing the 2020 elections was likely the best thing that could have happened. Had he won the 2020 election he would have been a lame duck from the start.

I see videos like this and it makes me excited for the possible futures, but also frustrated that we are not there yet. There is so much promise with the new nuclear reactors designs that are being done right now.

More efficient block space and a nice privacy boost too. Win win. View quoted note →

Is my watch telling me I slept walked? Don’t remember getting up…
