The death camps aren't going to pay taxes but will make demands on local utilities that often can't be met - Social Circle - and I used to live nearby in a very blue college town - won't turn on the water. I doubt they have that kind of water supply to begin with.

No cheating: your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist.

MAGA will be spraying Round Up right into their mouths before long.

Mussolini had a similar campaign and Pasta became a symbol of resistance as he was trying to ban it. In Italy. 😆

Newton and Rockdale counties vote blue overwhelmingly. I lived in both. Walton County where Social Circle is, is more split, but could flip back blue.

I was born 57 years ago so for my birthday you should buy my newest book - the 2nd edition is a collaboration with The Collage Club & I hear it's gorgeous (haven't seen it yet). #poetrycommunity #poetrybook #jasonotoolepoet

Personality disorders don't get less obvious with dementia.

The feds have no credibility and I say that as the 3rd generation to have carried fed B&Cs. I honestly don't think they'll repair their reputations in a generation no matter who is elected after the miserable Trump Reich.

Didn't have a chance to visit today but hopefully before the lambs grow up!

*go on side quests. (It's rather depressing autocorrect changed that to "gonna.")

This is a cut scene from The Big Lebowski, and not real life, right?

This dude is owed about a billion dollars in damages. This administration is going to bankrupt us on deprivation of rights under color of law cases alone.

First Lady Obama gets more beautiful with age.
