Endlessly curious. I am wont to find humour (note Canadian spelling) everywhere. Author, Death Kills and other things I've learned on the internet. TED talk: Exit Laughing. Oh so glad to be here where the sky is blue and the tone is true.

Today, the Oscars celebrate achievements in film—but did you know the awards were originally designed to bust Hollywood unions?

Here’s my occasional reminder that if you get long COVID, resources are scarce. All of the decent doctors treating it have waitlists three years long or aren’t taking new patients at all. Autonomic testing is a bitch to schedule and isn’t widely available.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Q: Can you say why we're sending 5,000 Marines and sailors?

Now the same people tied to that playbook are running the government.

And it’s not just some think tank document. Groups like Turning Point USA are actively recruiting young women. My daughter has received several of their mailers. Our shredder has been busy.

Not a single country has agreed to Trump’s demands to send warships or troops to Iran. The most he’s gotten are vague statements about “considering their options.” Quite a few are ghosting him entirely. Threatening, insulting, and tariffing your allies has consequences.

Trump and his foreign policy/nat security/trade officials have done nothing but attack, demean and insult our NATO allies. Then when they refuse to join his Iran War he alternates between pouting and threatening. The time to include allies in a coalition is BEFORE you go to war.

JFC! The right already stripped abortion rights from millions of women. Contraception is next.

Project 2025 made the agenda clear. This was never about saving babies. It’s about control, pushing women back into submission and forcing more births.

THIS WAS SO PREDICTABLE

Remember when Trump built an entire narrative around “saving” white South Africans, claiming they were facing “white genocide” in their own country, which was a lie? He fast-tracked refugee status for them while slamming the door on everyone else.

Kamala Harris has endorsed @jamestalarico.bsky.social
after his Texas Senate primary win.
She offered him “full support in the months ahead” after the March 3 primary.
I urge all Texans to follow suit. Let’s commit to flipping that seat! jamestalarico.com

Republicans blamed Hillary for 4 dead in Benghazi. They blamed Biden for 13 dead in Afghanistan.

Trump’s war has already left 13 U.S. troops dead in just three weeks. Where’s the GOP outrage now?

What a crock of shit ..

"I came to America because I heard the streets were paved with gold. When I got here, I found out three things: First, the streets were not paved with gold. Second, they weren't paved at all. Third, I was expected to pave them"

How can any Democrat justify voting for Trump’s new DHS nominee when they continue to break the law using taxpayer dollars and resources for partisan politics?

The Crew That Never Came Home Six airmen lost over Iraq — and the quiet sacrifice carried by those who fly into danger.

As a retired pilot, this one hits close to home.

Six American airmen lost their lives over Iraq this week.

They were young. They had dreams. They chose to serve anyway.

A few thoughts on their sacrifice — and the price of war.

Q: “So, hundreds of millions of dollars in grants were terminated from the NEH. The deficit didn’t change much. And you were paid $150,000 to do that job of reducing the deficit. Do you feel like the $150,000 paid to you was wasteful spending?”

A: *Laughs, frowns….long pause*
