Is It Cool to Say β€œI Love Hitler”? The Republican Party Is Trying to Decide. J.D. Vance has weighed in ...

JD Vance has made it clear: What we're actually witnessing right now is the Republican Party as a whole trying to decide how loud & proud they can be regarding their long-closeted love for Hitler. Those who stay republican at this point are the enemy, they are the threat & they deserve scorn.

I'm planning to bring glitter and holi powder. Harmless, but it'll make them easier to spot and humiliate the hell outta them.

Storm decimates 2 Alaskan villages and drives more than 1,500 people from their homes Officials in Alaska are rushing to find housing for people from tiny coastal villages devastated by the remnants of Typhoon Halong. But the remote location and severe damage are limiting their options...

Not hearing much from mainstream media, #RedCross, or the US Government. Where is #FEMA?

Alaska has had epic floods and devastation from remnants of a typhoon and is barely making news. Here's where the National Guard (and FEMA and Red Cross, etc) need to be. Where IS the MSM??? You have failed the American people yet again....

I can't eat baklava with walnuts, but baklava with pistachios is divine.

NEW: Adrian Fontes has CERTIFIED the results of the AZ-07 election of Adelita Grijalva. Mike Johnson is OUT of EXCUSES and should swear her in.

I liked Grapes of Wrath but generally Steinbeck has not moved me emotionally.

I remember the phone numbers of many childhood friends and still have old address books, lifelines when I relocated repeatedly in my 20s. There are only a very few dear people whose numbers I have memorized now πŸ₯°

I wish that, if I dialed my mom's phone number, she'd still be alive and pick up.

My 1st boyfriend had a phone number, (415) 555-1234,
My 5th boyfriend had an almost identical number, (415) 555-1243. One day I dialed 1st boyfriend's number by accident, expecting 5th boyfriend to pick up. When boyfriend picked up, I was relieved! Realization: 5th BF was not The One.

It seems like a sort of braised Scalloped Potatoes. How did it turn out? Sounds yummy!

I'm sad about this. They used to make "Bunny Cakes" which were an elevated Whoopie Pie, with a really tasty cream-cheese frosting sandwiched between two soft carrot cakes.

It's a great facility in the Marketplace. I hope another bakery moves in there.

#SanFrancisco #NoKings #October18 There'll be a human banner at Ocean Beach, near the Beach Chalet (moved a bit south from previous location). If you're in SF and looking to make a big impact... also donate $ if you can, and spread the word!

important to remember that no matter how unpopular you think the regime is currently, this is actually the most popular they will ever be between today and any dat you pick in the future

My parents loved WITW, but I don't remember their ever reading to me (my sister taught me to read when I was 4; I was into chapter books by 7). Didn't read WITW till my late 20s. Mom also dropped occasional Findhorn hints. They were lapsed Catholic/pagan. Wish they'd brought me along for the ride.

I hate to say this - I suspect Tolkien was a bit fatfobic. Or maybe Bilbo was, because the only description he had for Bombur was "Bombur, who was Fat." But then there's Fatty Bolger and the pony, Fatty Lumpkin. I wonder if Fatty Lumpkin's first name was Fredegar.

There was a little Mediterranean cafe in Concord, CA that sells red pomegranate Turkish delight, dotted with bright green pistachios and rolled in crushed rose petals. It was definitely made by someone's grandma. And it was delectable! But I'm not sure if I'd throw over my entire family for a box.

That's been the project 2025 playbook going back to the John Birch society in the 60s. If we lose separation of church and state, I'm not sure if the USA will be recognizable in 5 years.

It's almost like the right wing really loves having a martyr. πŸ˜’
