I do prefer the Wave of Electrical Sound version to the live Woodstock version, though: youtu.be/l-VMQKC_ek4?...

I feel that every news headline should be "Convicted rapist and internationally wanted war criminal together launch illegal war to bring about armaggeddon in order to prevent the world from uncovering their global pedophile sex-trafficking ring."

Here's another candidate running for the US Senate in Maine. Think Mills is too old but having second doubts about Platner? Maybe give LaFlamme a hand?

(And no, I don't know much at all about LaFlamme. Just saying there are other options!)

The above graphic, which I made in Corel Photoi-Paint, goes back to 2013. I also have a slightly newer version that (for some reason) I made in 2020.

I’ve been highly critical of the Democratic opposition. This is the correct approach.

Electrification of transportation is a national security and economic resilience strategy, which would work well for this exact scenario we are in right now.

On behalf of Brian’s family, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of support, messages, and contributions over the last 24 hours.

At this time, our priority is Brian’s wellbeing. We are taking a necessary step back from the public eye to allow him to focus fully on his recovery in private. While he looks forward to engaging with you all again very soon, his health and his family remain the current priorities.

And for the record, I’ve been running long before this, and yes even after breaking my arm standing up for what I believe in. It’s only made me more determined. Anger is real, and so is resolve. Take care.

I really really want the world to know that *those federal fuckers have not left*. They are changing tactics. More disguises. Smaller tactical pairs. Smarter tactics.

Reposts welcome, but more importantly share this with folks NOT on Bsky who think we are safe.

Fuck entropy, and fuck the capitalist health care hellscape of the US. Another good woman who's going to be gone too soon of being female, Black, poor, and fat. You'll be so terribly missed, Nye.

In my headcanon Ayla stayed with the Mamutoi because she realized that Ranec was funny, mature, and self-aware, all qualities that A) Jondalar lacked, and B) are better foundations for long-term happiness than having the biggest schlong in the Paleolithic.

*wince* Yeah that’s not the energy you want from nominal allies.

My concern is that Trump will make an attempt to do a β€œmission accomplished” withdrawl, and the Sunni majority gulf states will turn around and take their pound of flesh from Shia Iran.

<3 hey, none of us know what we don't know, it's how we respond to being told that makes the difference. i've been called on plenty of things, and this is about as good a response as can be and better than mine sometimes.

+coughs+ rah says you're cool, so you get the polite nudge: 'derp', no matter where it came from originally, is now often used an ableist insult for the developmentally disabled (source: my 'special ed' teacher grandmother). maybe don't?

Photos show global reaction to US and Israeli strikes Demonstrators took to the streets in cities around the world after the United States and Israel launched a major strike on Iran.

In the interest of centering the voices of Iranians and the Iranian diaspora, here is a series of photos of global reaction to the situation.

Read each caption to tell the difference between demonstrations supporting the US and Israeli strikes and the ones against it.
