Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

"Had an older president like Joe Biden babbled like this there would have been immediate calls to airlift him to a sanatorium. The man isn’t well, folks. Let’s stop pretending this isn’t a problem," writes columnist Rex Huppke.

And she was wrong, of course. We still have to keep combatting these weird and wrong high school teachers.

Just repeating for fairness -- Premium Ehuice is for real; they just take a very long time to respond. I received my order.

Premium Ejuice, as it turns out, is for real--although, in my case, slow.

Actually, Premium Ejuice is for real! They were just slow to respond to me. It took a long time, but I received my order.

Keep hoping I haven't got scammed by Premium Ejuice, but hope is fading away. Should have noticed: glitzy surface, huge number of my order, block on printing invoice. List on their site of every ejuice you've ever heard of. No delivery. DO NOT GET SCAMMED BY PREMIUM EJUICE.

Checking with hive mind . Has anyone dealt with Premium Ejuice of Vaughan, Ontario? I think I've been scammed. Placed an order on Aug 22. Received acknowledgement saying, to check your shippment, click the link below. I click and nothing happens. I'm blocked from printing their invoice. No shipment.

The Toronto Star has a superb and complex article by Linda Svendsen reflecting on Alice Monro reacting to her fiction. It's fascinating reading but, alas, behind a pay wall. If you already subscribe to the Star, or don't mind subscribing, you might look it up.

There’s massive and increasing gender based violence against women. Preparing women, telling them the reality, and showing them statistics isn’t sexism. It’s fact that men are the main perpetrators of violence and not by a small percentage.

Agree. Pete doesn't hold a political office and has no official power. And yet people look up to him. Because people trust his character and moral compass.

RFK Jr. sent Congress 'medical disinformation' to defend COVID vaccine schedule change A document circulated to members of Congress misinterprets studies and cites debunked research, scientists say. It could influence congressional perceptions of vaccine safety.

"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.'

But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women."

TO MILITARY PROGRESS

You use your mind 
like a millstone to grind 
chaff.

You polish it
and with your warped wit 
laugh

at your torso, 
prostrate where the crow
falls
on such faint hearts 
as its god imparts, calls

and claps its wings till the tumult brings
more
black minute-men 
to revive again,
war

at little cost.
They cry for the lost
head
and seek their prize 
till the evening sky's
red.

A reminder to reach out to the friends you've slowly lost contact with because life is so damn busy.

Because life is also so damn short.

You can’t clear up disinformation with a blast of truth, because the cause of most disinformation in our culture is not error but a loss of trust in institutions and mechanisms of truth acquisition.
