just listened to @kenwhite.bsky.social and the Serious Trouble podcast this week and honestly wondering how to get my day going. Ken White, someone who I count on to ground me and tell me people are overreacting, saying the immunity ruling is awful and destructive. Give a listen.

Those tiny Belgian ones for me please. Any chance they'll let us have them if we call them freedom pancakes?

Might as well inquire about crèpes? And will there be any syrup or Nutella available?

The waffles contain potassium benzoate (that's bad)

That's just for the run-of-the-mill prisoners. The true prisoners of conscience, the real thorns in the side of the regime, will be fed stale vending-machine muffins with 'Real' Blueberry™, a 'blueberry-like' synthetic compound made of high-fructose corn syrup, PFAS, food dyes & fracking runoff.

Theyll have those waffle irons that you have to flip over like in hotels

Very appropriate, as waffling helped bring about the camps. 🥁

The truth is bad. I don't know if I'm emotionally strong enough to listen and ponder it, what with hubby fighting brain cancer. And that is the ONLY thing that has kept me from listening to any of your podcasts.

The ones where the Belgians hold us while we try to get asylum? Yeah, those are gonna be great.

I remember reports about Hillary building internment camps.

Yes, but they'll be those shitty DIY waffles that you get at the La Quinta.

(made from human bone dust, might contain traces of nuts)

Yes, but will they be Waffle House waffles, or just the frozen kind?

From Mastodon, the American spouse of a Dutch lawyer was expecting him to have something to say about how non-specialist takes were ignorant doomerism. His actual take: worst thing that court has done since Dred Scott.

Holy fuck is THAT a high bar to clear.

I think I’m going to skip this episode. I don’t think I’m ready for Ken White saying people aren’t overreacting this time.

Same reaction. Had to put headphones on and play video games to zone out. I don’t wanna stress about it but wtf? Not sure how we pull back from this. Should I be rooting for a couple of targeting heart attacks to save us? The voters sure don’t appear to be able / willing.
