Maybe we let a lot of things go by. Did not stop them in their infancy. Like when the president mocked a disabled NYT reporter, 2025. Dan Quale's political career was over for misspelling potato. We've come a long way in our indifference to unacceptable conduct..

Even the so-called presidential immunity case is clear that he does not have plenary (complete) power. He only has (criminal) immunity where it involves a core function. None of it is personal. Some, in-between. And the courts - so far - have been checking executive power.

Far away from Katherine Graham. That kind of journalism (free press check and balance) and courage are long gone from legacy media.

Bingo 🎯

programming after - what midnight? And when parents said turn off the TV and go outside and play, we went outside or found something else to do, which usually involved engaging with other kids.

Not really a good analogy. I grew up in that era when TV was first commercialized. You couldn't walk around with a TV all day, sleep with it in your bed, have it alert you when there was a message or notice, you had to "share" as to which of 3, 5..channels you were watching. No 🧵

The point is that this is such common knowledge that no one could have a claim on it. Therefore, to be critical of anyone who voices this common understanding - royal, expert, non-expert, lay person - on that basis, is ludicrous.

Apologies, I went for the even bigger picture. Would you like me to delete the post?

🌹🙏💎 ~ Rest in natural great peace ~ Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche

Rest in natural great peace, this exhausted mind,

Beaten helpless by karma and neurotic thought,

Like the relentless fury of the pounding waves

In the infinite ocean of samsara.
Rest in natural great peace.

Thank you @justdharma.org

Rebellion of people dancing, wearing animal costumes. Maybe they even served milk and cookies?

Think by now it is common knowledge (and common sense), not just requiring an expert opinion, that too much screen time is damaging to socialization within and outside the family. If you don't socialize, relate, communicate with others, you won't develop those skills. Duh.

Beautiful fall photograph. Might this be another view of those trees? Jasper Park Lodge, summer, 1998.

Very interesting. Don't think I've seen either @jimrosenthal5.bsky.social or @corsiaq.bsky.social make or comment on one like that. (I haven't seen everything, of course.)

Amazing artwork. Are you Alex Grey?
