The Book of Kels @Nezchan@wandering.shop

Guess who just made and posted her very first Twine game? This girl, that's who!

It's short, it's basic, but it's mine. And, hopefully, a bit of fun to read.

Cripes, and I thought I was oldschool for using a cassette drive back in my Color Computer 2 and VIC-20 days.

Huh.

Yeah.

What is it good for?

Welp, there goes John Cleese down the slippery slope into transphobic assholeism.

Fuck him and his privileged ass.

Thing that Trump doesn't realize is that rushing to pack SCOTUS wasn't to save him, but to overturn women's and black civil rights.

The GOP got what they wanted, they're fine with him taking the fall. And honestly, the justices know it. He's the only one who doesn't.

I can't believe it's taken me so long to realize that somehow Ubuntu-MATE uninstalled Redshift.

Of course I re-install it and have to search the web to find out how to make a config file so it's not continually trying to connect to some location service that it can't find. But all is well now. Dramatic difference in look from day to night, that's for sure.

Would two monoliths be a stereolith?

Does that make Stonehenge a surroundlith?

Megalith: What if monolith, but too much?

Monolith, isn't that the thing Joseph Campbell went on about?

Menhir With a Thousand Faces or something like that?

Monolith best lith

Actually, I should amend that. He knows *most* of what he's done. There's probably loads more that he thinks is absolutely fine, because he's been able to skate on it in the past. Which, again, was a mistake he made with Ukraine. He honestly believed he nailed it, and the only reason it wasn't fatal was because of a complicit, equally corrupt, party controlling the Senate.

They'll catch that stuff, or at least run it by staff members who will. And that's just the data.

How much is getting covered up daily in the briefings that Trump doesn't read? He's leaving that stuff to be handled by Jared and Miller and other cronies, There's definitely a lot the public is unaware of, that's been kept under wraps.

Trump *knows* he's a criminal. He knows what he's done, and the people around him know even better what *they've* done.

If there's one lesson they learned from Ukraine, it's that they're in so deep that things they *think* are innocuous can be clear evidence of corruption. Trump really thought the snippet of the transcript he released was the safe part. It wasn't, because he's unable to tell the difference.

So now they don't dare let *any* of it be seen, or they're up shit creek. Biden and Harris, for all their faults, aren't idiots. They're both sharp and experienced.

The Trump administration isn't blocking the transition process isn't solely because it would legitimize Biden's win, although that may be the biggest part of it.

Transition of power would give Biden and Harris access to not only daily briefings, but also a lot of government data on a wide range of things. Remember that Trump is a criminal who's surrounded himself with criminals. There's a LOT they want to keep hidden.
