Oh sure, mock me if you must but didn’t you listen to the video? It’s been confirmed by (dun dun dun)… _“CIA insiders!”_ ---

I’m going to wait to the last minute and then jump onto the new planet. Easy peasy. Just like how you jump before the elevator hits the bottom when it’s falling. ---

If “today” is measured in UTC, we’re already 2/3rds of the way done with it. So the End better hurry. Right here right now it’s a lovely sunny day and I’m considering a picnic. If ya gotta go, a picnic is a nice way to do it in style. ---

Bloody well won’t. I’m making homemade bread for the first time in years, the sun is shining, and I promised the dog a woodsy walk this afternoon. Despite my bitching and moaning and general pessimism, the world simply can’t end on a Saturday in autumn. ---
