Nerd. Family & friends, food, books, snark with my news, tech (but like, early 2000s tech), travel, history, genealogy, the woods, environment, loose jeans, and hoodies. Y’all have lost your minds. I hate the internet. Social media destroyed civilization.

I wish we could stop caring about parties and labels and start having discussions and putting responsible people in charge. The two party system is broken but we’re so locked into it, we’re blocking good candidates and disenfranchising voters. We need more options.

Doing all right, Ned. Had a shitty few months with a lot of deaths in the family and some general chaos but I think things are smoothing out now. Hadn’t seen your posts in a while so wanted to check in and see if you were still around. Loved your intro!

Perhaps that is what should happen.

Well, let’s see it. I’ve got popcorn.

This needs to be on every mainstream news site and news channel.

I have compassion and in fact my wife is affected by the shutdown, and we will still be furious if Democrats give an inch. I want this administration to metaphorically blow itself up. I want my country back.

I think we need to stop saying things like “this is not normal” and going our own way. It’s not normal. We all know it’s not normal. What are we going to do about it?

Then let everyone quit and give him the vacancies he deserves. Let him lose a majority of his leadership and see what happens to his military.

Not just the generals. There are enough people in all branches of government on the so-called “both sides of the aisle” who know that what is going on is dangerous, that this administration is openly breaking laws, and everyone needs to stand up and just say it. Complicity abounds.

The weird thing about Mike Johnson is that no matter what words he's saying, all I hear is "I'm a little bitch" over and over.

Why do any of us care what the wealthy want in a car when a whole bunch of us are driving cars ten years old because many of us have been priced out of buying a new car?

I love her, too, but her following is mostly online or local to the Midwest. I don’t think people who aren’t online all the time even know she exists.

I love her too but she doesn’t reach people outside of the democratic base. Like, I think if you don’t love her, you kinda think she’s crazy and there’s not much middle ground. I do think she is brilliant, though, and she always seems to be right about everything.

Remember- they want you violent.
They know how to handle you when you turn violent.

If you want to fuck their shit up, embrace pacifism.

They literally don’t know what to do with thousands of people peacefully standing in their way.

When getting arrested, go limp.
