It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion.

The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

It’s gorgeous out tonight. Bright full moon reflecting off a fresh snow. Clear, crispy, and cold. The stars are twinkling and bright.

I’m so blessed to be alive on this planet. What an incredible gift. ❄️

It’s almost like we’ve learned nothing from Reagan’s never ending war on drugs.

Remember the two brothers, 8 & 11 years old, that Israel killed? This is how Israeli news reported it:

"The Air Force eliminated two suspects this morning in southern Gaza Strip who crossed the yellow line, carried out suspicious activities on the ground, and approached the forces."

Also, Supernatural leaves Netflix in 18 days. I have four seasons to go (real seasons) and am somehow supposed to work full time and be a caregiver during this binge race to the end of the series. 😆

I need to make rabbit cacciatore today. It will be delicious. The prep isn’t that much, actually, and I could probably have it simmering within a half hour, except I cannot get off the couch to start it. 🫩

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Congratulations!

Cousin brings turkey to table missing a chunk of its breast. When asked, she replied she had to remove the poison dart before we ate it. She actually thought the little thermometer that pops up was a dart they used to dispatch the bird and that the butcher accidentally left it in.

A large (maybe 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall) sign on the end of a row of bookshelves that tells the “address” of books that have sensitive content.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Who knew I was going to want that “go the fuck to sleep” book for my husband.

Dear Chef Anne - Thank you for our favorite stuffing recipe. Brown food does indeed taste good. Your memory is a blessing. 🙂🍴💕

Officer acquitted in death of Ta'Kiya Young, a pregnant Black mother accused of shoplifting An Ohio officer has been acquitted of all charges after fatally shooting Ta'Kiya Young in a supermarket parking lot.

Call me a raging liberal but I don’t think shoplifting should be a capital crime. Take the license number and go over to the house and arrest em, what was the urgency?

this morning's Fox & Friends featured commercials for Trump Watches *and* Trump-branded handguns. a level of presidential grifting that was unfathomable a decade ago.

Our brand new monitor doesn’t even connect to the internet. Wtf are they talking about?

Agree

Well slap my ass and call me Suzy

I cannot adequately express how angry this makes me

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

One of the tragedies of growing up is it's apparently no longer "socially acceptable" to carry around a cool rock & show it to people you meet.

So I have to respect the Chinese, Korean & Japanese for having a tradition of finding cool rocks & displaying them.

Let's talk about scholar's stones.

Bigger than most people realize!

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.
