Apropos of nothing, just wondering what it would be like to have the DTs in Rikers. Thoughts, Steve?

give up on aspirational America? Do your giving up in silence then, as a favor to the rest of us. If you don’t, donate, canvas, make phone calls, pray, gather and buck each other up. Judas H. Priest. Nobody’s asking you to load a musket or storm a beach. Not yet, but if it should come to that I don’t have plans to wonder whether I could have done more. END

and crackpots, and they’re the ones who want to install the orange puppet. They’re not morons like TFG, but they’re just as amoral and self-serving. And yet you feel bad about where we are? You surely don’t wonder whether you’re on the right side of things, so stop being so damn negative. It’s fucking scary enough without giving into the intimidation the other side is so clearly trying to employ. Be BOLD in your patriotism, compassion, and RIGHTNESS. We are in the right by leagues. You want to

#politics File this under “Be the change you want to see.” Democrats are famous for their handwringing. What a waste of energy. Stop acting like you don’t believe in the cause. Stop acting like the power of the people isn’t a thing. Stop whining about not having the perfect candidate. My guy had a cold — their guy has a chronic case of venal criminality, toxic narcissism, and delusions of dictatorship. My guy surrounds himself with competence. Their guy surrounds himself with criminals

Unpopular opinion: House of the Dragon is not good. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Please give the organ player at the college World Series a raise! Awesome song selection! #sports #music

“Hello Sunshine” Bruce Springsteen. Makes me tear up almost every time.

Also, she just said “Long story short,” twice in the last 30 seconds. Come on. Grab a new cliché. Or resort to something literal, like “I won’t go into all of it.” I know it seems like I’m shit posting this woman, but she side-eyed the guy at the table next to her because she had to move an empty chair at his table to get to her chosen seat, she’s gossiping about her tenants, and she’s mocking millennials. I just don’t like her energy. Sorry.

I am 2 tables (20 feet) away from this woman outside at my local pub and can smell her patchouli from here. She’s about my age. Please. Stop. I love the smell of patchouli, but in muuuuuch smaller doses than some of y’all are wearing it.

#politics #womenundersiege I don’t know that I can last through another election cycle starring a now-convicted felon, twice-impeached former POTUS, serial rapist/racist, incompetent grifting moron as the presumptive nominee of a supposedly “American” political party. Truly, I’m struggling.

Rupert Murdoch’s 5th wife is Russian. A Russian scientist. Please help me understand why I find this hilarious.

Man who refuses to take the stand continues to say outrageously false bullshit outside the courtroom. #democracy #ruleoflaw

My mom, daughter, and I once reunited two adorable but devious dogs with their family after they evidently dug under their fence. THE IMPORTANT THING WAS GETTING THE DOGS BACK HOME. The rescue didn’t come with a pamphlet and a stern suggestion to fill in the tunnel under the fence. People are so whiny and judgmental. THE END and sorry, but I had to get that off my chest and didn’t want to do it on Next Door because that would be a whole thing and people wouldn’t even try to help the dog then…😂😤😡

and there are two replies, both bitching about “why don’t people have fenced in yards” and boohoo how they’re so tired of these list animals because OF COURSE! I didn’t ask for your opinion — I’m trying to help a dog find its family. But thanks for the time-waster. Go post your shitty opinion about how only people who can afford fenced in yards should have pets over on Facebook. Maybe the dogs jumped the fence. Do you know? NO. You don’t.

So, my dog sitter is the Saint Roch of the modern era, and, as she does, she collected a runaway pup who was out in the road with its sibling/buddy (she couldn’t catch the brother). The dog had a collar, no tags, but quite clearly belongs somewhere. She’s checked with surrounding homes, took to the vet to scan for a chip (none), and is now putting up fliers. I offered to post a picture and her info on Next Door even though I live a town away from where the dogs were. I get a notification…

So. I’m on the side of people who don’t resort to violence. I’m on the side of people who don’t think targeting civilians with instruments of war is forgivable or acceptable. I’m on the side of people who don’t think the death of civilians in a conflict is made acceptable or forgivable by employing an evil diminishing term like “collateral damage.” I’m with THOSE people regardless of their location, nationality, religion, ethnicity or whatever other bullshit label employed to divide.

I’ve watched that ESPN Sportscenter leg wrestling video multiple times of the woman who is victorious over all her male relatives and everyone is agog. “She’s got strong legs blah blah blah.” Yes, but she’s also got a lower center of gravity as a woman. Which got me wondering— there should be defensive moves or even an entire self-defense method that takes advantage of that difference in favor of a woman. Is there?

Welp. It’s my birthday week, so thank you Georgia! #politics #RICO #FAFO
