Why I'm cool with pride flags in public spaces.

Because I'm not a judgmental cunt.

Baccalaureate remarks by Chair Powell at the Princeton University Baccalaureate Ceremony Thank you, President Eisgruber, for the opportunity to speak here today. Congratulations to the Princeton University class of 2025 on the tremendous achievemen

“Fifty years from now, you will want to be able to look in the mirror and know that you did what you thought was right, in every part of your life. At the end of the day, your integrity is all you have.” Jay Powell www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

Good on him.

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

—Gov. JB Pritzker

I might be tempted to contact them even if they were (mine seems to be a party-line-towing Labour MP, which is little to no better at the moment anyway), just so they know that not everyone supports their knuckle-dragging nonsense.

BRAVO! This is true Resistance! Thank you, Greyhound 👍💪🙌👏

Let’s hope others follow suit.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

Haven’t been on here in ages. (Haven’t defected back to the Hellsite, either.)

How are we all?

People are lining up for hours at Kharkiv blood center to donate for Sumy, because it’s the closest option. How can anyone think we’d give up even an inch to Russia?

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

A male Eastern Bluebird sits on an ice encrusted branch. He has a rusty colored chest above a white belly. His head, wings and tail are a beautiful bright blue. He has a dark eye and dark grey beak. His dark claws grip the reddish branch, oblivious to the cold ice.

Daily dose of dopamine ☺️

NGL, pretty disappointed there are (still) Nazis in this "film" called reality.

Well, I for one look forward to Trumps production of The Sound of Music where the Nazis capture the Von Trapp family, hand them over to ICE who deport them to Gitmo and a destitute Sister Maria is forced to work at the Miami branch of Hooters….

Everyone knew about Sean “Diddy” Combs. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.
