The next 6 weeks are going to be unbearable, as they usually are.

I'm not a grinch or a scrooge, but hurry up 1/2/24.

In 2005, I literally boarded an airplane for Isla Margarita, Venezuela two days after Thanksgiving to get away from the holidays. Returned in January, 2006.

Over the past several years, especially in the wake of #J6, Republicans far & wide, elected & not, ignored subpoenas, refusing to testify in the investigation in any manner or format. Hunter Biden accepted a call for public testimony & is immediately told "naw".

Social Security: If you don't think Bobo, MTG, Mutt Gates and the rest of the sedition caucus are coming for SS, Medicare, Medicaid, and SSDI, you're not paying attention. Flying under the radar (but in #GQP play) are Veterans benefits, including healthcare and disability ratings.

This is an all hands on deck alert.

Found elsewhere. Truth. Negativity becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

671 was as good as it could get. Damn, I was a pro.

It occurred to me recently that I'm old enough to have seen Janis with Big Brother and Airplane. That was my first concert.

I have stayed out of the Israel / Hamas / Palestinian / Gaza discussion for a reason. I have very strong feelings, and you'll never know what they are.

As it should be. Those opinions should be shared around the #Thanksgiving dinner table with only butter knives within reach.

I've spent part of today trying to inventory the things I'm thankful for over the past year. Just being on the right side of the grass is one of them. I can make ends meet day to day, and don't need much else at this point. It's kind of liberating. Hug someone you love. 🦃

OTD in 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. I was sent home from elementary school. My mother was crying when I walked in the door. What a different world we'd be living in right now had this event not occurred.

CoSo is a fun place - at least I find it so. It's a refreshing break from the toxic sludge pit at Eloon's jam.

You know what's enamored me here? It's the chill factor. I actually enjoy reading & posting here. I don't have to parse words. Y'all share yourselves. That's not an easy thing and it takes the right environment.

Tip of the hat to all of you who are making the transition off of the bird easy.

Here's a bit of good news for veterans struggling to make their mortgage payments. VA announces changes meant to stop foreclosures on veterans using VA-backed loans.

I don't know if this is going to translate to CoSo.

If this video doesn't harden your steel for 2024, nothing will. This is what it's all about.

How in the hell did I land on Judicial Watch's email list??

TFG is never going to be held accountable, is he?

Sometimes, I'm glad I'm an elder in the tribe.

I can't wait until January 2, 2024.

The holidays and I don't mix so well.

Goose Island IPA at 2PM? Ah, why the hell not. It's time for Friday Vibes.

CoSo launched 6 years ago today. I'm pretty sure I signed up shortly after the platform's debut, but didn't really participate until Eloon bigfooted his way on to Xitter. I'm now migrating (however slowly) off of Xitter to CoSo and BlueSky.
