Unless you're a MAGA influencer. Then you get evacuated.

Isn't that the guy that played Unicron?

I'll admit outright that I'm just not interested in most people.

But I'm terrible with names, even with the people I am interested in. I can tell you all kinds of things about a person, just not their name.

It's kind of bizarre.

Always has. Always will. (for a given value of "right.")

Civilization is an effort to be better than that. Occasionally, we succeed.

Eh. There's a few people I want to kill. What stops me is not fear of god, but the secret service.
