Recently finished @doctorow.pluralistic.net book on Enshittification and am now a ball of molten fury. The sheer scale of both naked industry self interest and regulators making precisely the same mistakes they’ve made throughout history is enough to give anyone a rage aneurysm.

Pretty soon Americans will be able to hop up to Canada and witness a wide range of EVs that are more full-featured, perform better, and *are cheaper* than any EV available in the US. Because, uh, energy dominance or something.

War overseas, but the costs are hitting farms right here. Diesel and fertilizer up. Clay Fuller’s in DC trying to be funny. I’m out here working my farm and facing the same rising costs. If you can’t see what people are fighting for, you’re not a warrior for them. Leadership matters! #GA14

Fertilizer costs are spiking, and farmers in the South are getting hit the hardest. That includes us right here in Northwest Georgia. Leadership matters. We need someone in DC who actually understands what it takes to keep a farm running, not someone playing politics while costs keep rising. #GA14

There were people standing in line last night to vote in Georgia in the midst of Trump possibly nuking Iran who decided “I think I’ll vote for the Republican.” These people never fucking learn a goddamn thing.
