I think it means that if nothing moves, there's no sense of time. And perhaps even that the concept of time would make no sense. Day and night happen because of motion.

Boston–LA round-trip via Chicago, Denver – Boston round-trip via Chicago, Denver–DC round-trip via Chicago.
The Northwest Corridor (Boston to Virginia) trains' seats don't recline for sleeping well (I've ridden numerous trips Boston –Baltimore round-trip).

The bathrooms are tiny, but I've been lucky that they were pretty clean on the overnight trains I rode. I packed a washcloth so I could give myself a sponge bath; I recommend that.

I've ridden cross country several times; the temperature is not consistent. Sometimes it's too warm, sometimes it's too cool. Once my car's AC went out as the train was traveling through Arizona in July.

It depends on the trains Amtrak uses for that route. Long haul trains have seats that recline pretty far and also have calf supports. But I've never ridden in that corridor.

If we do more than dance with quirky signs, they shoot us.

This song has been in my head since I first heard it months ago.

Is THIS what it takes? What a bunch of craven weenies. They could have called out this evil long ago.

Don't be so sure. I lived two years in Malawi as a Peace Corps volunteer; all the locals I spoke to liked Trump. I think they recognized that he acts just like an African dictator, and they were comfortable with that.

I thought that in 2024. Results don't always make sense.

I disagree. It has been a success. A disaster, but a success. Project 2025 is being implemented, just as they planned.

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo πŸ˜‚ (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

The fact that trump has an approval rating above zero is disturbing.

It's a tool. It seems to matter to his base. And it seems to rattle him. Don't stop, it's working better than anything else so far.

And if you withhold too little, you get fined.

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.

What You’re Watching Isn’t What You’re Really Watching β€œFederal and local officials dispute the circumstances that led an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer to fatally shoot a 37-year-old woman...

"You think you’re watching a woman drive away with an ICE agent following, then shooting her four times in the face, but what you’re really watching is an ICE agent in fear of his life and acting in self-defense."

How do we stop paying taxes? Taxes are withheld from our paychecks!

There are better charities out there. Much better.
