It hurts

I’ve read everything of his. Marvelous.

Ohio managed to get thousands of people to hold hands and link arms in a human chain that stretched 8 miles to stand against ICE.

8 miles of humans linked together.

The Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcher.

Anything by George MacDonald Fraser, but especially anything about Flashman

Your baby is beautiful.

Such a beautiful big girl bed.

My son is 5’11” and has no trouble finding and keeping a girlfriend. The difference between this guy and my son? Son has an excellent personality and treats women with respect.

Isn’t it funny that human chewing noises are gross, but cute animal noises are adorable?

A cautionary post about a billionaire who owns a social media platform called “the bad place”

Billionaires supporting a third-party option—who are entrenched in the tech bro theology of “dark enlightenment” should be a huge red flag 🚩 to anyone who believes in democracy.

A 🧵…

CHARTMANN EREPORT The Hartmann Report The simple answer is that these people intend to replace the 240+ year "American Experiment" with a brand new governance "experiment" of their own. One that was largely developed in computer rooms around San Francisco. There's an actual ideology behind all this, and it isn't the old-fashioned Ayn Rand libertarianism that was such a rage during the Reagan era. This hot new experimental ideology, enthusiastically embraced by Silicon Valley billionaires and their "tech bros" dismantling our government, is called the Dark Enlightenment or the neo-reactionary. movement (NRx).

I hope people read the articles that I’m including in this post and try to understand the danger that this man and those in his circle present to our well-being.

This dangerous theology should not be entertained IMO, it is based in racism and should not be given a platform.

I will proudly vote for him a third time!

The Dark Enlightenment has been described by journalists and commentators as alt-right and neo-fascist. A 2016 article, written by Park MacDougald in New York magazine, notes that "Neoreaction has a number of different strains, but perhaps the most important is a form of post-libertarian futurism that, realizing that libertarians aren't likely to win any elections, argues against democracy in favor of authoritarian forms of government. " Some consider the Dark Enlightenment part of the alt-right, its theoretical branch. The Dark Enlightenment has been labelled neo-fascist and "an acceleration of capitalism to a fascist point". Land disputes this, claiming that "fascism is a mass anti-capitalist movement" a point of view that is not corroborated by historical knowledge about the economics of fascism. Journalist and pundit James Kirchick says in an article that "although neo-reactionary thinkers disdain the masses and claim to despise populism and people more generally, what ties them to the rest of the alt-right is their unapologetically racist element, their shared misanthropy and their resentment of mismanagement by the ruling elites."

They believe in authoritarian governments, the destruction of democracy, slavery, and cities run by neo-reactionary white men.

It has nothing to do with the wife’s “femininity” and everything to do with her husband’s low character.

I’ll check it out. Maybe, with enough crossed fingers, it will come true.

I had a lawyer from day one of filing and it still took 2 full years, two refusals, and coming in front of a judge (virtually, Covid), to be approved. After working from 16- 50, all I receive is $2200 per month. I had made good money while working.

I’m still on it, from time to time. It is truly a horrible site. There is so much hatred. So much glee about the cruelty to immigrants, they are practically salivating, imagining immigrants being eaten by alligators.

Folks, join No Kings or Indivisible. Get like-minded friends to gather and protest. Write Congress. Go to town halls and ask questions.
Do something!

What a lovely space.

That’s the best part of the internet.

That has happened to me at two different times in the past. For weeks at a time I would have one or two bites of food then be unable to swallow. Each time I lost over 10 pounds (couldn’t afford to). I have no idea what caused it.

We already knew the big, ugly bill was bad, but the Congressional Budget Office confirms last minute, backdoor trading has made it even WORSE.

Cuts $930 BILLION from Medicaid:

Making Americans poorer and sicker.

While giving billionaires even more wealth.

I’m so glad he has decided to run for a third term as Illinois governor. I’ll vote for him again!

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election.

A new generation of leaders is here.

I take it. What a wonderful drug.

At the Chicago no kings protest.

it’s this ridiculously simple and screw€d up…

TERRIFYING: NBC News: Iran sent a message to Trump before last night’s strikes, threatening to activate sleeper-cell terror in the U.S. if attacked. The warning was delivered via an intermediary at last week’s G7 summit in Canada.

He’s going to get rid of MLK day too, I bet.
