I watched last week as trump hosted President of the Philippines; Ferdinand Marcos Jr.โ€” anyone from Hawaii will remember his fathers and mothers days in Exile here in Hawaii. They robbed the Philippines and loved gold โ€” and Imeldaโ€™s 3000 pairs of shoes.

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

Second episode of this seasonโ€™s Only Murders in the Building owes something to the opening of Taleseโ€™s Honor Thy Father. For me, anyway, this sets the standard for how to start a book.

President Trump's deportations are diverting FBI agents off child predator cases Officials warn that President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown is leaving domestic terrorists, including online extremists who prey on children, unpoliced.

โ€œNearly every agent on Baltimoreโ€™s domestic terrorism squad was reassigned this year to work full time on immigration enforcement, forcing them to walk away from investigations of a network of violent predators that targets and exploits children online.โ€

I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.

Republicans: โ€œStop making everything about race.โ€

Really?

White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken.

America already made it about race.

Plenilunar [plen-uh-LOO-nur]
(adj.)
- Of, like or pertaining to the full moon.

From classical Latin โ€œpleni-โ€ (full) + โ€œlunarโ€ (moon)

Used in a sentence:
โ€œI navigated my way back home by the plenilunar glow after being abandoned by the sasquatch who had grown weary of my companionship.โ€

Danny DeVito was a hairdresser in his sisterโ€™s salon for two years where he was known as Mr. Dan and in fact only ended up in an acting class because his sister sent him to NYC to learn to do makeup.

Which means in an alt universe there is an 80-year-old Danny DeVito doing updos in Asbury Park.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

โ€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.โ€

It costs a lot less to house people.

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.
