Good read.

I was a 2020 census enumerator. It's all done on iPhones now so based on Tim Cook's recent WH appearance, I'd have to agree.

We can't get anything right, can we?

Short term thinking, toxic capitalism.

Apple made a 24k gold and glass statue for Donald Trump Another tactic from Tim Cook to charm the president.

This, of course, comes after Tim Cook personally donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund.

Since then Apple has received tariff exemptions.

We're witnessing blatant crony capitalism. www.theverge.com/news/737757/...

We did it in the rural NY Town of Gorham, Ontario County! Two slots open for town council members, two Democrats now on the ballot. Last time a Democrat ran for this position: we think 1997.

Wut no cats in heat?

Probably getting better nutrition, too.

Hadn't their elite decamped to Constantinople by then? I'm a little foggy on that historical timeline.

And the plastics, don't forget plastic.

Next investment - drone? We have a neighborhood gent who's making lost pet rescue a paying gig.

Now I'm thinking about my countertops. 🤢

Fascism is expensive.

Give me a one way ticket to Wicken, wherever it may be.

Siamese cat repels liver and white puppy with a stare, alone.

I have a Mercury type here.

Puddin - was he portly when you got him, or did he grow into the name?

You're in Dad joke territory sir

It's all down to how many billionaires each side has.

Yes but state election law may preclude gerrymandering, and if you try it in my state of NY you get sued and then a Special Master is appointed who is a total loose cannon. It quickly turns into a cluster.

You aren't, it may seem bigger to you than what others perceive. Slower still wins. I ran into an old friend who said, 'still writing?' and I was 'erm not so much'. So I get it!

My interpretation of the email I received was: smarmy attempt to get seniors to see him as caring about their welfare. I took it as propaganda.

He's hitting up everyone 65 and over.

Replaced Mike Waltz, so the trend is going lower in the barrel.

At least, this particular iteration of Earth ...

A co candidate and I are on the ballot for spots on the town council in November. First Democrats to run since 1997 in a very Republican township. Also, getting out in nature

No one can be truly free in a society considered by many to be unjust. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Our job — the responsibility of all who seek a just society and a decent world — is to move as far as possible away from hateful violence, toward social justice.

Send me two or three of them and I'll see if I can leave the list in a drawer forever.

Even if you ignore the usefulness of the product for the people who need it - we had offers of money, or to take it away for free. Yet the US will PAY to incinerate it. If you are a fiscally responsible Republican, doesn't this seem wrong on that basis alone? Insane.

The Light That Remains A Reconsideration

What began as a furious diatribe titled I’m Tired of This Shit turned into something else entirely,a reckoning with despair, a return to purpose, and a reminder that hope is a choice. The Light That Remains is the story I should’ve told that morning. I’m telling it now.
