Liberal, humanist, skeptic. If you're not real, please don't bother talking to me. I'm old, I like science, art, good music,cannelés de bordeaux and odd and interesting people. And proper punctuation.

Watching this historic meeting between all the European leaders, Ukraine and the US and Trump just said to the Finnish president, "You look better than I've ever seen you look" because he did not even remember him. Good grief, what an embarrassing idiot he is.

The meeting was a disaster for everyone except two people. Trump got his photo op and his ego boost.
Putin got his photo op, whitewashing of war crimes and no sanctions.
No one in Ukraine, Europe or the United States benefited in any way.

Not only the vaccines but also millions lost in food waste. And that in a time where millions of people are starving to death. It's absolutely shameful.

There's something rotten in the state of Denmark.

I'm not American, but I've been watching American politicians for a while and I honestly believe you, Governor Tim Walz, would make a great US president. With Pete Buttigieg as VP. Og I hope it happens one day.

** Evidence You Might Be In A Cult **

You follow one charismatic Leader.

In your Leader’s mind, your Leader can do no wrong.

In your mind, your Leader can do no wrong.

Your Leader demonizes dissidents & outsiders.

Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion.

You don't know you're in a Cult

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.
