Beware the Bans

Not a "what if?" today. Just a question. What is pornography? No, it's not as easy to define as you might think, because this is how they'll ban books they don't like. 

Like they're already doing.

New Weather Expense

What if? It's the basis of many stories. We ask. We ponder. We wonder. 

On Tuesdays I throw one out there. What if? It may be speculative. It may stem from something I see. It may be something I pull from the news. 

Make of it what you will. If a for instance is not specified, interpret that instance as you wish. And if the idea turns into a story, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements 😉

Yes, a "what if?". But still a rant. 

What if you had to pay to get a weather forecast?

Sadly, this may happen. It's in Project 2025 to disband NOAA, and that includes the National Weather Service. They want to privatize it, which means that people would have to pay to access their findings. What happens to our weather apps then?

Not Normal

I just can't.

It's fun to think up "what if this happened?" when the world is normal. When things are okay. 

But when the dystopian nightmare is reality? 

Nope. I can't.

And if you think things are good, you aren't paying attention. Like, to Argentina. I'm already exhausted just thinking about the future. (If you think things are good, why are you here? We obviously don't have anything in common.) 

So, for now, I'm suspending "what if?" I don't know what I'll replace it with. Or if I'll find my mojo again. 

Today I leave you with the "Authoritarianism" pages from Stop Project 2025 Comic, even though it's now way too late for that. 

(This is the playbook for the incoming administration. If you believe the lie that he knew nothing about it and didn't plan to use it, I have some swampland in Florida that you might be interested in.)
