I am looking forward to listening to this, I just need to find the time to do so because I spend so much time talking about #Pluribus with one of the people involved in this podcast...

Donald Trump unveils new class of battleships named after himself The US president has vowed to revive American shipbuilding after lagging behind China in naval capacity.

Considering I have just finished reading an account of the sinking of the Bismarck and I am about to read about the Fleet Air Arm strike against the Italian battleships at Taranto, I enjoyed a good laugh when I heard about Trump's latest plan to reintroduce battleships...

Thanks to #Pluribus there is a lot of online chatter about the Darién Gap.

We just watched this week's episode of #Pluribus another great episode and I was especially interested when Carol mentions her experiences from a conversion therapy camp as a possible analogy for the Joining.

and let’s also not forget what’s at the core of this Epstein saga: a bunch of rich and powerful degenerates spent years raping children — and the sitting president of the United States may very well have been a willing participant. at the very least, he knew what was going on. isn’t that news, Margaret? might not that be a topic worthy of discussion on Face the Nation? so why is it being dismissed as a ‘Democratic distraction’?

Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan calling the Epstein Files a 'Democratic distraction' has to be one of the worst cases of journalistic malpractice yet. CBS continues to beclown and embarrass themselves. that's the topic of my post for today. thank you for reading! link is here: bit.ly/48j2Fy7

This is a pretty accurate description of JRR Tolkien's musings on a possible sequel to 'The Lord of the Rings'.

Speaker Johnson says clergy protesting deportations have no right to 'get in the face' of DHS agents (RNS) — Johnson initially claimed he was not aware of the instances, despite having been directly asked about one of the incidents in a press conference earlier this month.

In further news, Speaker Johnston says that Jesus of Nazareth has no right to protest in the Temple, and that the Romans arresting, prosecuting and executing Jesus is an appropriate response to Jesus flipping over the tables of the moneychangers in the Temple.

A Brief History of Men are Becoming Less Manly

A piece of advice for the Democrat leadership, if you want progressives to vote for the Democrats maybe actually care about resisting the rise of fascism in the United States as opposed to enabling Trump through your moral bankruptcy.

A great review for a series that I enjoy.
I watched the first episode of this series, I have also read the manga, and it does an excellent job of introducing us the world of a young women struggling with the aftermath of trauma and her depression.

One thing you can always rely upon from the national Democratic leadership in the face of Trump cosplaying as a dictator is complete and deafening silence, and so far they have not been a disappointment.

The DNC doing an awesome job of following in the footsteps of the 'liberal' and 'centrist' parties who enabled the establishment of the Nazi state in Germany.

Watching JK Rowling gloating over her role in stripping away the rights of people, I give thanks to the giant turtle Great A'Tuin that I avoided her elitist magic school shite like the plague and embraced the wonder, humour and compassion that is Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

A release of a new volume of Otherside Picnic, either manga or novel, is one of the high holy days in my liturgical calendar!
An excellent review of a gripping, with the odd moment of WTAF, volume!

Today while drunk ranting that camouflage is too 'woke' because real alpha warriors don't hide from the enemy, US Secretary of Defence and Trump lickspittle Hegseth slurred that military vehicles will now have high visibility schemes and that new red uniform caps will be issued!

Colorado senator on Schumer: 'It's important for people to know when it's time to go' Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet stopped short Wednesday of calling on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down from leadership, but came pretty darn close.

This quote from Oliver Cromwell used by Leo Amery to describe Neville Chamberlain's 'leadership' in 1940 comes to mind
"You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately.
Depart, I say, and let us have done with you.
In the name of God, go!".
