Mother of Storms - Wikipedia

Re : Melissa.
30 years ago author John Barnes gave me nightmares with the novel โ€œMother of Stormsโ€ The causes were a bit different and the solution is unattainable but the impact on the population is similarly devastating. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_...

Knowing they will be evidence at The Hague is cold comfort to their families and loved ones. I understand this post but it sounds a bit dismissive of the tragic loss of life here.

Please check sources before sharing such Right Wing propaganda.

What the heck? So parents can take even more public education money and spend it on even stranger, cultish, evangelical, โ€œdinosaurs arenโ€™t in the Bible and therefore a just a mythโ€ and a girl must be a happy, compliant, brood mareโ€ schooling? Professional educators know education best! Just stop!

So yeah his other sons are 29-49. Can you imagine being 13 and having a 49 year old brother?

Ok @cnn.com You are really ok with posting a story that includes this line: "Barack Obama engaged in the โ€œbig digโ€ that retrofitted the Situation Room and dug out space under the West Wing for who knows whatever else."

This reads like a 4th grader's C- essay. DO BETTER.

900 Miles apart.
Together in values, mind and heart.

I love you Randy! Happy #NoKings Day

Note that I especially love that Randy fully committed to the principle of "Tactical Frivolity" that has been gracing protests from Portland Oregon to Portland Maine.

Oh my god! Thank you!!! Iโ€™m helping my 91 year old mom move this week and itโ€™s both exhausting and stressful. Every night when I am falling asleep my brain is suddenly channeling Mark Owen singing ๐ŸŽถโ€œDecember 24th. 9PM .Eastern Standard Time.โ€๐ŸŽถ over and over and over.

My favorite thing about the #FrogResistance is that weโ€™ve reclaimed amphibians from that ugly incel-groyper-pepe thing. Hurray Portland and the world of tactical frivolity!

Iโ€™m 900 miles away helping my mom move to a retirement community and he texted heโ€™s got a new interview and that his last one a month ago is now finally checking references. Cross fingers!

The Job Search Has Become a Humiliation Ritual โ€œIt feels like Iโ€™m trying to make my robots talk to their robots.โ€

โ€œIt is fashionable among elites now to frame the majority of people as โ€œNPCs,โ€ or non-player characters, in the parlance of video games: unthinking, sheeplike, atomized automatons. โ€œ

A gut punch because it is true in all aspects of our lives now, not just jobs.

Iโ€™ve been watching my husband go through this for the past 10 months. Itโ€™s demoralizing and scary.

FYI- thx for speaking out about the SA comedy โ€œfestivalโ€. I am disgusted that anyone would choose to participate.

They already are. Posing it as part of an โ€œanti-Christian โ€œ wave of violence and tying it to Kirkโ€™s assassination as evidence that Christianity is the underdog.

Can someone identity this incident though? Itโ€™s more powerful to share when we can name the community and people who live there can become vocal and put pressure. Thatโ€™s how some detainees have gotten released.

Love this movie. This often puzzles my friends. I cannot really explain it. I really am not into violence and generally bored by mob or crime or action involving 3 letter agencies. Yet I love this movie. And awesome soundtrack!

We have an obligation here. Institutionalized racism in the media industry doesnโ€™t excuse us. The black journalists and entertainers are not as well known because we are cooperative in systems that promote white men over other voices.

Think though about WHY you donโ€™t know? Systemic racism doesnโ€™t excuse us. We clearly have power with our spending and could have been effective with WAPO or MSNBC etc. but itโ€™s a vicious circle- white dominated media doesnโ€™t promote or highlight black journalists or stay with their stories.

Uhm I think youโ€™re on the wrong platform. This ugliness belongs on X not Bluesky. also you need to do some real research. For example a man who says executions should be public and that he would enjoy watching them is definitely promoting violence. No one should enjoy watching another human die.

Except you didnโ€™t include what this is- or it got disconnected. Are you talking about a vaccine? For what- flu or Covid or something else?
