You know, the Russians had thousands of possible futures in 1991. They had a nascent democracy in the palms of their hands and chose dictatorship --- again. I'm starting to wonder if George Kennan was right in 1946: "At bottom of Kremlin's neurotic view of world affairs is traditional and instinctive Russian sense of insecurity. Originally, this was insecurity of a peaceful agricultural people trying to live on vast exposed plain in neighborhood of fierce nomadic peoples. To this was added, as Russia came into contact with economically advanced West, fear of more competent, more powerful, more highly organized societies in that area. But this latter type of insecurity was one which afflicted rather Russian rulers than Russian people; for Russian rulers have invariably sensed that their rule was relatively archaic in form fragile and artificial in its psychological foundation, unable to stand comparison or contact with political systems of Western countries. For this reason they have always feared foreign penetration, feared direct contact between Western world and their own, feared what would happen if Russians learned truth about world without or if foreigners learned truth about world within. And they have learned to seek security only in patient but deadly struggle for total destruction of rival power, never in compacts and compromises with it." They are somehow psychologically incapable of being democratic, despite seeing the benefits on their televisions and in their daily media, at least for a while. Frustrating. Perhaps it's because they have to defend an area more than 22 times as large as Texas with a population roughly 3.5 times that of Texas.

She's trying to figure out where her rent money is going to come from now that she's been deplatformed. I have no idea how much she was making via ad revenue sharing on Twitter but she had 1.4 million followers and was pretty incendiary so I'm thinking she lost at least 5k per month. And since Meta/Zuckerberg deplatformed her I'm thinking her next career options is either real estate or Onlyfans. Regading Bluesky, her reputation apparently proceeds her:

Holy crap! I want to marry a woman like this!

Same for me with Denver Harris.

In my defense, I am a habitual drunkard.

The part about habitual drunkards was definitely a call out to Surly Horns. The part about "surly bartenders" was a reference to Lonesome Dove, when Gus says, "Anyway, whacking a surly bartender ain't much of a crime." I know these things with 100% certainty.

Well, in fairness, Facebook is one place at which you can read Traces of Texas. 😉

Very first one.
