President Xi, Send The Nukes!
Welcome to my newsletter about living in the US during the end times – or less dramatically, during the confluence of the 2020 Presidential Election and the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic. My goal is to update every weekday until either life returns to some semblance of normal, or I get tired of it, or I'm incapacitated by my lungs filling with fluid and I can't type from the respirator. It'll be late some days, maybe even the next day.
The motivation for this was a confluence of several things.
- I started getting over-invested in the Democratic primary, which led to me using web-based normie social media like Twitter and Reddit to keep up with the news and memes.
- That led to me getting a terminal case of brain worms and forgetting my resolution to do most of my reading on my e-reader and Slow Internet media like phlogs.
- And I was writing less, working on side projects less, and just spinning my wheels keeping up with the news.
- And then Solderpunk put out a standards freeze on Gemini and called for people to actually use it to publish stuffâ€
So I'm trying to use this as all as an excuse to do some writing and actually make something out of the garbage I'm pumping into my head every day. This is a Gemini exclusive, not to be found on my web or gopher sites! To leave a comment, email me at jmcbray+sendthenukes@carcosa.net.
