Just A Friendly Reminder….

It comes for us all, eventually.

THIS!!

So, they're stripping away hard-won civil rights, erasing history which they find inconvenient, & purging the bureaucracy of competent leadership; expatriating our community members to a foreign prison; and now the government is advancing a policy to prosecute speech.

When can we call them Nazis?

MSM
DO your damn job.
If your corporate overlords won't let you, it is time to leave.
YOU are helping destroy this country

My, my, my. How the tone has changed.

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

Could it be that the #business Owner #class prefers that the majority of #people are too incompetent to realize they're being scammed? Could it be that our institutions and #social factions have been influenced to reward normalcy, compliance, and instructability?
Of course not! That would be crazy!

Why isn't #math cool? Like, seriously, why? In the broader #public, and even within #education circles, math isn't cool. Why is it OK to say, "I'm just bad at math," and we just accept it? Why does that not elicit the same pity and judgement as, "I'm just bad at reading," would?

Why does(has) anyone think(ever thought) that #Arial was a good #font? #Sans-serif fonts, in general, are only marginally acceptable, at best, due to a lack of clarity leading to undue mental tax; but Arial has to be the most egregiously pointless font. 1, l, and I should't ALL be the same glyph!

I'm sorry. I thought she was found guilty? So, she's not guilty now? Why else would we care about her reputation? Why is it important to seal away records pertaining to accusations against, and thereby preserve the what remains of the reputation of, a /convicted sex trafficker/?

If #inflation is maintained at an annual average of just 2% over the next 1,000 years; that same, $5, gas-station snack which you bought earlier will cost your descendants about $2,000,000,000.
How much will their #wages have inflated over that same period?
I doubt 2%/yr.

This isn't fat-shaming, but it kinda feels like it....

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Tonight at work I discovered people don’t really appreciate references to the Ashikaga shogunate like they used to.

Yours is a plight in the company of many;
as time marches us ever forward, unburdened by concern for the wisdom we've clumsily let fall from our own, unsteady grasp.
Rejoice in the plentiful company of your misery as the world we've known withers with us, to abide the next.

I'm not dead yet, but that's on my list, now.

We'll just let it slowly ramp up.
"They're only putting foreigners in concentration camps."
"It's only the brown ones. I'm safe."
"It's only the non-christians. I'm safe."
And then, one day...
"THIS IS UNCONSCIONABLE! I'M AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. I HAVE RIGHTS!"
"You don't seem very American to me."

The AR-15 is the preferred weapon of mass shooters because it is the most common which suits their objective. Banning or even heavily restricting weaponry by form-factor is never going to achieve the desired result. Another form-factor will suffice, if not as well. Do you then ban all firearms?

It's like that Matt Damon story about Tom Cruise saying "...so I got another safety guy!"

Grievance with my Housemates by J. T. Hartzfeld What wrath has come to break me from my peace? What vengeance have I wrought? with what misdeed? Oh, why am I forbidden all surcease of interruption, though I daily plead? It's not as though they know not what they do; Nor can they claim they have not heard my pray'r; Nor can be claimed my grievance is untrue; The thumping, clacking sound is always there! I have for three long years been so harass'd by feet above me stomping out my thought, in shoes too large for feet that fall too fast; It's hard to act the way I know I ought. Although, I doubt my house would make the news if, just out front, I burned a pile of shoes.

A new piece of #poetry; a #poem which speaks for itself, so I won't bore you with introductions, but if you're a #poet, #writer, or #author of any kind, you might find it interesting.

"... and rights aren't rights if someone can take 'em away, they're privileges; and that's all we've in this country is a bill of temporty privileges, ..." ~ George Carlin, from "It's Bad for Ya" (2008) ~
