The Bern takes it downtown!
So, Bernie Sanders took Indiana, and blew $1.8 million to do it. Now he just has to win every single other primary after Hillary Clinton drops stone-dead, then The Bern is set! #yeahthatll happen #not

Selfish politics creates division
So, I get political when I feel like it, but I don’t think overly so. I’ve made it crystal clear that I don’t support Bernie Sanders, but I don’t feel like I post anything really divisive. Yet…
I noticed this tweet today:
“@wholeexpanse bye Michael it was nice knowing you. peace out #feelthebern”
I got unfollowed by someone who had followed me for awhile, who seemed to care about me when I’m up or down, all because I posted against The Bern. Whatever happened to agree to disagree? When did politics become, “We’re all liberal Democrats, but if you don’t like my candidate, fuck off?” Our Founding Fathers would be ashamed, I feel. They fought each other hard, they were trying to create something completely new, a Great Nation ruled by its people, their debates were often heated. Still, at the end of the day, they didn’t despise each other. They remained civil, men working toward a common goal.
Today, apparently all bets are off. Rather than admit his obvious defeat, rather than deciding to work toward uniting the Democratic party, Sanders seems bent on derision and division. He could still see his ideas come to fruition, if he would just admit that the people have spoken, just not for him, and collaborate with Secretary Clinton… with the Party. Instead, he continues the farce he calls a campaign, pitting his supporters against the rest of the Party, wasting MILLIONS of dollars that would be better spent helping us to take back Congress. Bernie Sanders is no Jefferson Smith fighting for a noble lost cause, he’s fighting a pointless lost cause in order to satisfy his own delusions of grandeur. He’s creating a rift between people who ought to be speaking out as one voice against the very real threat that is Donald Trump.

Flatty Flatness
I feel really flat today… flat and uneasy. I’m not sleeping well, my trach’s really bothering me. It’s hard to focus.

It’s nerd time!
So, I was totally overly giddy to find Darkest Dungeon on the Mac App Store. It’s a very unique Lovecraftian role-playing game set in and around a once grand manor-house fallen into ruin after a mix of hedonism and occult magick unlocked doors that were not meant to be unlocked. It’s unsettling to play, in a really fun way, using hand-drawn gothic imagery to bring its twisted tale to life.
The horror!
I’m playing way too much already.
