@evacide it's true but then we built it on the sand of private billionaire beaches, that's on us, maybe we let the sea take it all and start again on firmer freer ground.

@evacide There was a shooting more or less in my vicinity today. My first reaction was to long for the days when a simple text search on Twitter would have been enough to figure what was going on.
