He seems to be getting increasingly wrong about many, many things.

Tylenol is no longer a J&J brand. They split their OTC products off into a new company called Kenvue in 2023. I think J&J does still own Kenvue stock, but less than 10% and is not the largest shareholder.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Raccoons most likely then if they tried to get in the coop first. A good reminder to make sure the coop is raccoon proof!

Skunk, possum, or raccoon are all possibilities. I’ve seen a skunk dig up a yellow jacket nest before but all three will dig up bee nests too.

When I gave this TEDx talk, I knew our rights were at risk. But today, it feels like a roadmap for what’s unfolding.

If you care about privacy, democracy, and freedomβ€”please take 11 minutes to watch.

I listen to Sabaton a lot more now than either of those two. But without those two growing up, it's unlikely I listen to Sabaton haha. My Sabaton plays are greatly inflated by the symphonic versions of the last two WWI albums. They're great background music when I don't want vocals!

I was trying to avoid that haha! I'm going with Maiden. Both were among my core bands as a teen when I got into metal but I think Iron Maiden's incorporation of history and progginess wins me over. In English lit in high school, I convinced my teacher to play a handful of their track for the class!

I like Sabaton but they aren't at the same level as the first two. Sabaton's a little copy-paste and hasn't innovated or pushed rock and metal anywhere like the other two did. Sabaton's biggest draw is incorporating history into music...something Maiden started doing nearly 50 years ago!

If she was a real Christian she'd listen to what's written in Timothy:

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

I want to imagine the devil was dressed as Thor when he greeted him. Like Little Red Riding Hood wolf style.

Yeah for sure. My point was mainly that the father shares culpability, not to defend white-dudeness in general.

Also, my bunny's name is Aoife! πŸ˜…

I would expand on that and say white dudes with indoctrination from their parents. I'm a white dude but I didn't grow up with guns in the house. My dad didn't take me hunting or shooting. I don't own guns now and still intend to never fire one. Daddy may have turned him in, but he's at fault too.
