@ecksmc I think that’s universal in governments. I tried watching CSPAN a couple times but had to stop. It only raises my blood pressure to hear the dumb ass bullshit they were speaking. These were supposed to be the cream of the crop, the brightest and best our country had to offer yet I watched as a “representative” Drew illustrations to “prove” marijuana as as evil as heroine and cocaine.

They are the dumbest and most ignorant of our nation and they write the laws.

Day of Remembrance (TDOR)

350 trans and gender diverse people were reported murdered between 1 October 2023 and 30 September 2024

94% of the reported murders were femicides, i.e the victims were trans women or transfeminine people.

93% of the reported murders were of Black or Brown trans people, a 14% increase from last year

Cases in the United States increased (2024: 41; 2023: 31).

Is there a betting pool on Cabinet appointments now? Because I got a hot tip: Agriculture will be headed up by an old guy named MacDonald.

For the LGBTQ that are in dangerous states, I have a pinned list of organizations willing to help in any way they possibly can. Feel free to click my name to check my profile page for the pinned links.

I’m seeing folks fearing the upcoming cost of Christmas. Or just hate to add credit debt to an already stressful time of year.

I found these cups at Habitat ReStore for $1 each. I will make truffles to fill them & pack in holiday cling wrap.

Total cost of gift: $3 each

When I give them, I will suggest they can keep the cup or fill w/treats & pass on. Could be pistachios, carmel corn, teabags, tiny soaps, cookies, red & green M & M etc.

Be creative.

I've been grieving the election since Tuesday night. But last night I remembered the Babylonian captivity and the story of the youths in the fiery furnace (Daniel 3 in the KJV) and have begun to feel a little more stiff-necked. Not exactly more hopeful, but less grief-stricken.

Not two weeks after WaPo wimps out, the NYT decides to be a dick to its tech workers.
The Tech Guild’s core demands are "just-cause protections, remote-work flexibility, and fixes to the inequitable pay structures that undercompensated the union’s nonmale, nonwhite members."

The techs have set up their own game sites, so I won't be jonesing too hard for my usuals. Assuming I can concentrate on them at all with my mind picturing the Army hunting illegals like a damned SS.

Elizabeth Warren with the exact message I needed to hear. Posting this link as it was also shared by Jello Biafra, saying he couldn't say it any better. Anytime JB doesn't talk, you know the other person said it well!

First, a wise person once told me people lie when they're scared. Before inveighing against wives lying to their husbands about voting, ask why they're scared.
Second, well-known family values spokesman and serial adulterer on his third marriage who presented divorce papers to his first wife in her hospital room Newt Gingrich should be slapped hard every time he pollutes the word "marriage" by pushing it out of his lying philandering mouth.

Just got this from Cheetolini. When he gets desperate he gets creepy.

Pay No Attention to the People Behind the Curtain

These are the two guys that are behind tribel. The "pro-democracy bird alternative" who claim to "just hit 1 million new users."

The most shocking aspect of this is that fraudulent "political fundraising" for billions has not been shut down, & people still send their money in- to pay for LAWYERS!

Spouse persuaded me to help drape a tarp over an absent neighbor's leaky roof. We're both about threescore and ten, which is Nature's way of saying "stay on the ground, fool." But there turned out to be no way to do it without going into the house and out a 2nd-story window into the roof -- and this neighbor is a hoarder. OMG. Crawling around the wet mossy roof was bad, but navigating the house was worse. If you're a hoarder, get help, you need it.
