“People try make everything political” says young dumb lad who is allowing himself to be used as a political prop by a politician who is reviled by the majority of Americans.

U.S. men's hockey with Curt-Schilling-in-Boston levels of good will squandering. A 25-mile lead in the good will marathon and they tripped on their dicks right at the finish line.

I revitalized my 2020 XPS 15 that was limping along on Windows 11 (despite the splurge on 32GB of RAM). Originally experimented with Mint and now with Bluefin and it's been like night and day vs. Windows
