#Humans change. #Dogs don't. And that's just fine.

#Republicans, of course, will spin this as "#Democrats refuse to cooperate with #Trump's #transition team!" I suppose we could reply that we thought Republicans were against transitioning, but I doubt they'd get it.

@DemocracyMattersALot Republicans, of course, will spin this as "Democrats refuse to cooperate with Trump's transition team!"

Upon careful consideration, I believe it is time for us as a #nation to heal the wounds of our #division and move forward together. Therefore, as a #Democrat, I promise to treat #Trump with exactly the same respect and deference #Republicans showed for #Clinton, #Obama, and #Biden. I invite you to join me in this high-minded effort.

@fatsam That's what I'm hoping for too. But I know it doesn't always work that way.

@fatsam You may well be right. I'm going to keep hoping you're wrong, right up to the point it becomes undeniable. In which case I guess stuff like this will give us something to argue about on the way to the camps.

You know what, I never want to hear my fellow members of #GenerationX complaining about #Boomers ever again.

Good morning, and good luck.

I admit, I did not have "public health department endorses mass murder" on my 2024 bingo card. But I guess I should have.

“Well, I’m going to do it whether the #women like it or not.”

There it is. The entire #Republican Party of 2024 in a … er … nutshell.

@bot Oh look, it's a rabid squirrel that thinks it's a person. Goodbye, rabid squirrel.

#Vaccines work.

#Evolution is real.

#Human activities cause #climate change.

#Chemtrails don't exist.

#HAARP doesn't control the #weather.

People landed on the #Moon.

And FFS, the #Earth is *round*.

... I'm thinking of making t-shirts. Any takers?

@foolishowl Excess caffeine.

Excess.

Caffeine.

Like ... caffeine, but *too much*?

I'm not sure I understand.

@foolishowl I should have thought of that, thanks!

All too often, when I finally do learn what happened to them, it's permanent. I know this will only get worse as the years go by.

Okay, #Vance's #internet #history is as embarrassing as everything else about him. But we're rapidly reaching the point where it doesn't matter, and may be there already. *Most* people under a certain age have lives which are thoroughly documented #online, and when they run for office, other voters their age just aren't going to care. Vance is the first #Millennial to run for national office, but he won't be the last. What we old folks think about it will become less relevant with every passing year.
