Refugee (self-deleted) from Elon as of mid-2023. Why Catherine? A properly functioning moral compass. Sharp as a tack. But you have to want it (not a LOT, but at least a little). I understand. Color me "Open" right now. But '26 may make '28 meaningless.

I think, you know, if the Bears move to Wolf Lake, there should be a line (the 50-yard line, maybe) that denominates Illinois from Indiana.

Like "State Line Boulevard".

I'd replace the system. But that's just me.

Good morning @4sight-nc.bsky.social

Say something really easy to me in Korean. Pretend I'm an absolute dummy. (You might be right!) πŸ˜‚ But we gotta start somewhere, n'est-ce pas? I'll figure out the syllabary. But I need beaucoup de vocabulaire. And I need the stuff people are using today.

I used to have some great Indian (as in the subcontinent) followers when I was on the platform deformed by Elon.

Mostly medical types. But from Oz, and India proper. Rational types. Mostly ladies.

But seems none of them followed me here. I've never figured that out.

They used to be mikan farmers, on the south-facing lower slopes. But too many viruses eventually made that endeavor uneconomic. But damn. They can make strawberries to die for.

Got a big pack of strawberries from Kumamoto relatives just now.

Back-breaking work. I'm so impressed that they remember me this way. I'm so glad they're doing well. These are so juicy and delicious, per usual.

Kurt @kurtandersen.bsky.social I'm getting too many likes recommending 'Network'.

Can I hand this off to you? Cuz, you know, I know you can knock it into the cheap seats.

Depends (see what I did there?) on what/who you’re reading.

@crockett.house.gov You're a treasure. But please jump on the Talarico bandwagon now. Cornyn is a fossil. And he's got to go. But no infighting, please. Talarico has a full wind in his sails. Back him now. Your reward won't be too far away. And it will be a reward you richly deserve.

They could make it. But to your point, we are so desensitized now that it wouldn't have much impact. So: full agreement.

So you're saying I'm never gonna get it unless I move there, and probably not even then if I don't get a K-Boy band member to fall for me? πŸ˜‚

The thing is ... they can make reality.

"US attacks Iran in 24 (just to make up a theoretical bet) hours."

Holy fuck! Inside info?!? I mean, this is really fucked.

What if the corporations own all of the news networks, and tell you what they (the corporations) want you to hear?

It's a good time to watch the 70s film, "Network".

So absurd then. So point on now.

So, post-Bobby Duvall now.
