Tim A.

I had medical appointments on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday last week. I have them on Monday and Wednesday this week. Not how I want to spend so much of my time, but hey - #KidneyFailure and waiting for a transplant. Can you help me find a living donor?

Not that CNN has had any backbone for years, but prepare for them to become Squealer from Animal Farm now that they’ve been acquired by Ellison… just like CBS News has.

Wait, you mean putting six screens in a drivers view port and 50 flashing lights isn’t a good UI for a several ton vehicle?

Modern vehicles have more distractions than a casino slot machine alley.

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.

So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

This is by design.

Here's an excerpt -- please take a moment to read the whole column and tell me what you think

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

This didn’t age well.

A mad king's illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump's unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

No wonder Trump went to war with Iran in the dead of night, with the Capitol empty, most Americans soundly asleep

This war is illegal. Full stop. The worst abuse of presidential power in American history aims to cement a dictatorship on U.S. soil

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Scum company. We won't forget.

Sunset, stars, and moon all at once, across frozen lake Erie.

Maybe the DNC will put their thumb on the scale again and have Biden run again.

They’re so politically stupid that I have to consider it!

KEGseth is on a helluva bender. I only hope we can survive his stupidity.

Embedding unreliable AI deep into the source code of the military without human oversight is the single stupidest thing we could do as a species.

And that is *exactly* what the United States is about to do.

'Women aren't less than': Team USA women's hockey players respond to Trump's joke Captain Hilary Knight described the president's joke about being obligated to invite the women to the White House or risk impeachment as "distasteful."

Quote by Miguel de Unamuno: "Fascism is cured by reading, and racism is cured by traveling."

This is NOT a list you want to be a part of. Perhaps the Republican Party should try reading books instead of banning them.

After all, fascism is cured by reading.

In 35, the Roman emperor Caligula opposed the reading of The Odyssey by Homer, written more than 300 years before. He thought the epic poem was dangerous because it expressed Greek ideas of freedom.

In 1933, massive bonfires in Nazi Germany burned books written by Jews, communists, and others. Included were the works of John Dos Passos, Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Ernest Hemingway, Helen Keller, Lenin, Jack London, Thomas Mann, Erich Maria Remarque, Upton Sinclair, and Leon Trotsky.

A Nationwide Book Ban Bill Has Been Introduced in the House of Representatives Hours after the State of the Union address, House republicans introduced legislation banning LGBTQ+ books from public schools nationwide.

Book banners always end up being on the wrong side of history: the worst people.

Rep. Mary Miller is a modern member of the White Citizens' Council, which in 1959 banned "The Rabbits’ Wedding," a children's picture book, because they said it promoted racial integration. bookriot.com/hr7661-book-...

That break certainly did a lot of good, eh?

The Immediate Impact of Different Types of Television on Young Children's Executive Function The goal of this research was to study whether a fast-paced television show immediately influences preschool-aged children's executive function (eg, self-regulation, working memory). Sixty 4-year-olds were randomly assigned to watch a fast-paced ...

I hate this timeline where we have to talk to adults like we're on Sesame Street. Actually, far worse than Sesame Street, which had 4- to 5-minute segments.

We're in fast-paced cartoon land now. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Not that anybody asked, but…

The first 13 months of Biden’s term, the stock market rose 12%, setting a record high closing of 11 times.

The first 13 months of Trump’s second term, the market rose 10%, setting a record high closing of 10 times.

"2025 will be the first year of this century where more young children died than the year before."
