It's a dawg's life! Rudy and Daisy were thrilled with my epic fail at poached eggs. They had a breakfast of Sardines and eggs garnished with fresh cilantro and red peppers.

Me and me crazy Dawg Rudy having a rock in the old lad's chair.

Violence in the name of free speech? Think! Freedom without limits = chaos. Want absolute free speech? Imagine an island where anything goes. Would you live there? Paradise or prison? Rules rule! bit.ly/3t8EwZe

"All I saw was people jumping up and down using horrible language that should not be used in any form of protest, and there was no coherent message from them,"
That was the message: Polarisation and Tribalism at work! I fear for democracy. Disgraceful!

Me is in big trouble this morning! I let Daisy 🐶 upstairs early, say 5 am ⏰. She opened my daughter's door and jumped on her 🛌. Now I must find a place to hide 🙈 'cause she ain't exactly impressed. Be afraid, Be very afraid! 😨😰

Democracy wielded by a dis and misinformed public and government is a road to tyranny! 🚨 Welcome to the age of disinformation: the post-truth era—proverbial hell! 🌐

Stop! Don't leave a social media platform to join an isolated community elsewhere. Closed-off groups and limited viewpoints are dangerous to a free and open society. The world needs – the middle path, not extremes. The is your Tribe; narrow-minded groups are not⚖️

I wonder if they have UV condoms in prison?

Hmm: a criminal who, while not directly advising, advocated drinking bleach and performing rude acts with UV lights wants to run again for President? I would not have believed you would ever see that, even in a movie script! Or am I being too "anal?"

I detest that on SM sites, brevity prevents me from fully expressing what I mean.

Sentience vs. sapience: I'm confused! Are all humans truly 'sapient' when conspiratorial beliefs are so mainstream? Maybe we're sentient, but sapient? People voted for Donald Trump! Time to stir the pot. 🤔

@PBesso Are we conflating personhood with sentience or sapience?

I think of trees, dogs, cats, and rivers as people.

I don't think personhood necessarily means sentient. If it required sentience, a lot of human beings would no longer qualify.

If we agree that all human beings are persons and that "persons" deserve respect, what aspects of personhood justify discrimination based on race, sexuality, or nationality? Let's unpack this. +

What is the measure of "a person:" Is it as simple as being human? Is it a more nuanced construct? Does personhood require self-awareness? Does it require free will?

Devastated to hear about the tragic loss in . While journalism plays a critical role in society, there are ethical lines that should not be crossed. Flying a drone over such a painful scene and airing the footage disregards the privacy and grief of the affected families. @Independent_ie

My thought for the morning: An ancient philosopher once stated that a person who cooks potatoes and peas in the same pot is very unsanitary.
