Digging into Glonzo

Just a few thoughts this week: 

While perusing Bluesky (as I do), someone had linked to an article from 2017 titled "The Al Capone Theory of Sexual Harassment". In a nutshell, the idea was that, "often people who engage in sexually predatory behavior also faked expense reports, plagiarized writing, or stole credit for other people’s work."

As of Sunday, it's been six months since the regime began. Dismantling the federal government, yanking support for poor and working-class Americans, and emboldening extremism have been among his accomplishments so far.

And finally, a little post about "The Glonzo Strategy". What's a Glonzo? 

If 25% of the population believed that a creature called ‘Glonzo’ caused high power prices by chewing through transmission lines, any competent politician would be negligent in not trying to find a way to exploit this. This doesn’t mean that these people wouldn’t be fucking morons.

Feel free to rant in the comments.
