I had a really nice weekend: a block party, one kid’s 🎻 recital, another kid’s 🎹 & voice recital (she’s a trip — shy IRL, but a *performer* on a stage), actually getting the ornaments on the 🎄, and a fun date night to a debate where after we found a great Puerto Rican restaurant. Felt v lucky.
Those liars scammed and deluded thousands of people with their “censorship complex” hoax, feeding a victim complex and giving an online faction a boogeyman to rail against.
