For the sake of you mental health, avert your eyes. Pay no attention to the Republican 🤡 show opening in Congress today. R agenda for 2 years: 1. Pointless investigations of stupid shit. 2. Loud shouting about somebody’s laptop. 3. Publicized demonization of Joe Biden, Democrats, urbanites, educators, blacks, gays, trans, non-fundamentalist non-Christians, etc. 4. Repeated attempts to prevent governance from occurring in the US.
You can think about something else now. You're welcome.

@CharlotteJ0 yes! 🤞

@coolserenity Lincoln Park Conservatory is my “go to.” I mark the change of seasons (whether or not it happens) by visiting the LPC in March for their Spring Flower show. Plus it’s still free of charge. Makes me happy.

@SocialistKitty @normsmusic I’m with you guys. We need consequences.

@Jorro why do so many *want* to believe lies? I can understand that desperate and vulnerable folks might be susceptible bc they’re looking for a lifeline. But his constituents are on LONG ISLAND, fer chrissakes. I’ve been a teacher for a long time and I can spot a bullshitter from a mile away. I don’t understand how this guy got as far as he did.

@GeorgeVotesBlue Yeah, and here’s the House Republican agenda: “Woke leftist commie socialist Democrat southern border drug infested something something Hunter Biden laptop.” Over and over for two fucking years. (Excuse me for swearing.)

@feloneouscat You are absolutely right. I will want to avert my eyes from the shitshow-- OTOH it is probably a good idea to know what the fascists are up to. 😩

@Cosmicjello it’s a Tarsiers! (I had to Google big eyed marsupial.)

@Cosmicjello why is this so fantastically funny???

@rfloyd7 May all be well and inspired by Spirit toward greater kindness every day.

@Coffee_and_Salt Tee-hee 😆

@DJNoneYa Pa-the-tic.

@WhiteRose #politics

@WhiteRose Need to maintain brain safety. It is already clear what will happen. 1. Investigations of stupid stuff will go nowhere. 2. Crazy people saying stupid shit. 3. Demonization and personal attacks on Joe Biden (and his officials), Democrats, urbanites, educators, blacks, gays, trans, non-fundamentalist non-Christians. 4. Attempts to prevent governance from taking place. My brain has its own data needs and there is insufficient bandwidth to accommodate Jim Jordan and his ilk.

@Xponent Or . . . if you're a big enough a**hole AND you're rich . . .

@Xponent Great. Elmo has a choice: pay the rent or pay the lawyers. 'Course he's gotta pay the lawyers, no matter what.

@Coffee_and_Salt I was on a waiting list for 2+ years to get a faculty carrel at Northwestern. I finally got one assigned, picked up the key, unlocked the door, and whew ugh! The carrel (essentially, a closet with a chair) was imbued with eau d' old (male) professor. I went over to Whole Foods, bought an expensive aromatherapy diffuser and some STRONG essential oils. Still took about a week for the stank to leave.

@Coffee_and_Salt I wonder how long the office smelled like that after he finally left (for greener pastures or Elysian Fields)
