Xopher Halftongue RESISTS! (86 47)

I'm completely fine now. The weirdness did not persist.

A post by Rebecca Johnson: “I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.” A tumblr respond from mightymur: “The final, brilliant word on passive voice. "She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive "Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

May his memory be a blessing for us all.

Feeling kinda weird. Sugar is fine, so it isn't that. Things look weird too, but not in a migraine-aura kind of way.

And it's a lot better than it was when I first left the house ~20 minutes ago. So probably nothing.

Like "No one was under his command, because he was only a centurion" kind of error?

The one that set me off was pointing out that Mother was the Queen, and Dad was just her regent. She's clearly calling the shots, and they don't look for a new regent when he dies.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

PRO TIP: When writing about European monarchs, even fictional ones, don't use the word 'regent' when you mean 'consort'.

They mean different things. Honest.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

And CNN should stop letting dangerous loonies on their air.

This is no longer America, the land of the free. We are under siege. The Trump administration has declared war on Americans.

What if you don’t even wait for a Reichstag Fire. What if you just say that there is one.

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

— only buy tech too old to have AI built in
— painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well
— if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool

Kamala said he'd try to use the military against the US population. News outlets called her "hysterical".

The news media needs to stop reporting what the government says about these incidents without corroboration.

But they won't. So we need to stop believing news reports about them.

Real Jerry's comedy is fictional.

Deontology? That's pulling teeth, right? I had to see a deontologist when I got my wisdom teeth!

For years I've wanted to rewatch /Bedknobs and Broomsticks/, a movie that delighted me as a child.

While the Suck Fairy has indeed visited it, bits of it are still fun. But yeah, it's cheesy even for a 50-year-old children's movie.

Very important, especially that last bit.

GO ME!

New Jersey just had a "false fall," so we've got to wait a bit for the real fall weather.

I effin' LOVE fall.

I've done 365 consecutive days of Duolingo Spanish. Not enough to be conversational, but I hope to get there.

(I'm not being funny. We really do have to be better than them, and fight down the rage about the things they've done. Urban guerilla warfare is not good for the participants or bystanders, and reigns of terror never work out like you hope they will.)
