This is the final message of the server. "So Long, Farewell (Reprise)" from the end of the The Sound of Music.
I literally just torched a multi year Discord server to the ground to remove a paper trail that might lead back to some of my friends.
My friends are more important than the years of memories that Discord had.

From Paul Krugman, some perspective on tariffs I missed in all the noise (and maybe you did too):
❝Trump folded.
…[S]upposedly both Mexico and Canada made some concessions in return for the tariff hold. But there’s really nothing there; neither country is doing anything it wouldn’t have done without the tariff threat.…Trump will spin this as a victory; low-information voters and some intimidated media outlets may go along with the lie. But basically America backed down.
So is Trump the classic bully who runs away when someone stands up to him? It definitely looks that way.❞

OK, here’s a way of framing the posts above:
When a fascist sits down at a checkers board with you, you might think you’re playing a game of checkers — but they don’t. They think they’re playing a game of “flip the board and punch you in the eye.”
And unless they get kicked out when they try that, they are correct.
We are now living in an extreme version of FAFO. They FA and now we all get to FO.
