X and Meta policies are to “free speech” what The Purge is to “personal freedom”. I guess this whole “civilization” thing is winding down and we’re trying “uncivilization” next. Should go well. ---

I find it rather odd that she died December 16, 2024 but it wasn’t announced until today. Good riddance to a horrible human but I think this is somewhat strange. All I can figure is the family wanted to avoid any protests at the funeral so they waited to publish the obituary in the Oklahoma City newspaper until today. ---
