Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Just a reminder: every single prediction I see, left or right, friend or foe, humble or famous, goes into my "time capsule" folder. (If it's any consolation, the vast majority of it is news clippings.)

The capsule sees all. The capsule does not forget. I will never use the capsule to mock anybody, and in fact, I will probably never reveal the contents of the capsule to anybody but myself. But I reserve the right to make blunt and unflattering summaries of whatever I find there when it is unsealed.

The capsule is always there. It will be opened on January 1, 2021 no matter what happens. All bets shall be settled someday. All follies shall be seen and remembered, even my own. (I have already picked out quite a few laughably wrong predictions of mine from the 2016 capsule.)

January 1st is going to be a fascinating day.

@001zlnv Well, apparently, I was 21 when he died, so... nobody can prove I didn't!

@chimerror That would top my one-session record by 64 grams! =^____^;=

"I once pooted on the great Paul Erdős! That means I have an Erdős number of poot!"

biggest 2020 #moodsnapshot -- this song has been my emotional corkscrew through all this, everytime I get bottled up, just the right kind of poignant happy heartbreak

@hystericempress Sugarfoot has taken a couple of naps on Peg's pile of Mardi Gras beads and we've thanked her both times for charging them up for us. =^_^=

@JulieSqveakaroo It's even funnier because, due to English aristocratic tradition, poaching and/or eating swan was outright treasonous until around 1998. It'd be like SNL doing a sketch about a restaurant that only served fried bald eagle...

@Oneironott Pfft. I've never seen you fetch a thing. You're nothin' but a dang water weasel!

@JulieSqveakaroo The same technique works for swan!

@Austin_Dern Here's a sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5NxG_rr5aU

@Austin_Dern I feel bad for just dumping the whole unsorted playlist on you, but you might enjoy some of the bits in this, too, then...

This old KFC commercial is nuts.

No, it's not this one.

@Soreth @anthracite Gawrsh.

@kelseyhusky I saw! I'm cautiously optimistic about it since the GOP is so good at feeding their persecution complex with any attempt to bring them to justice, but it still feels good and couldn't have happened to a more rotten bunch of people...

@Austin_Dern That reminds me that the Audubon Zoo has reopened for limited visitors. Peg and I should really go down and pay respects to the "captive*" raccoons.

(*They've got such a good scam going and they know it. I have never seen happier, fitter raccoons and their enclosure is immaculate. Which has to take some SKILL for a raccoon warden...)

@001zlnv That is both adorable and kinda unsettling...

@Austin_Dern I definitely think any display of potentially advanced communication skills among procyonids is a hopeful sign, 'cause lordy are we ready for them to take over :>

@Oneironott It is kind of a fucking miracle that our weird little subculture even exists -- let alone that we keep popping up on the forefront of the resistance movement. Holy crap that's incredible.

Got a massive case of The Doomies today. If anyone's got anything good or hopeful to share, it would be greatly appreciated.
