look i can’t like put it all together in a nice little webweaving BUT the northwest passage eventually being found on the expeditions to recover terror and erebus… beattie’s team finishing goodsir’s autopsy of john hartnell… it’s about seeing through the work of others throughout history it’s about their missions being completed too late for them to see it. or something.

Comments in the vein of OP's also show a very little interest in how even today, not as president, Trump's 'snarky tweets' lead to almost any individual citizen he trashes being stalked, doxxed, and threatened by his followers. (And haven't considered how he might go beyond snarky tweets considering he once made a big deal out of how as President it was 'legal for him' to have enemies assassinated.)

Also it shows a very short memory as to how his 'snarky tweets' last time he was president, about how BLM protesters were terrorist thugs and putting down other minorities also led to increasing pushback and violence against them by white nationalists who figured he was giving them a wink, nod, and get out of jail free card.

When someone has followers like Trump's, 'snarky tweets' are not just harmless internet trolling, and when he is in a position of power it is a bigger problem.

Also… he could do a lot worse? To everyone? Including Americans and Palestinians??

Have people genuinely forgotten the fear and anxiety of his 4 years in office? Have people forgotten all the horrible things he did? All the terrible laws he passed? The way he pulled us out of the climate accords? His reign of terror against trans people? His truly awful immigration policies? The multiple wars he tried to start? The way he increased tensions between Israel and Palestine?

The amount of denial I've seen about how dangerous Donald Trump is is staggering. His followers *stormed the Capitol* with the *express purpose* of launching a coup to illegally keep Trump in office. He's a dangerous fascist who must be kept away from positions of power at *any cost.*

A general reminder—periodic cicadas pose no threat to anyone and their plant damage is limited to nipping off the ends of twigs. Please do not hose them with pesticide. They are slow and clumsy and confused and only want to make friends with other cicadas and eventually die of sexual exhaustion.

Yes, the screaming is a lot, but they’ve been extremely quiet neighbors for thirteen years, cut them some slack as they go through the most fraught time of their lives.
