"A Man on the Inside" is a delightful comedy-drama-mystery inside a retirement community. Ted Danson as the lead is fantastic. It's slow, sensitive, and engages in WORLDBUILDING.

Looking at Nancy Mace and her ilk, it seems like there's a lot of Republicans who can't feel joy or happiness or anything. The only sensation close is when they deny someone else happiness.

People will build "AI" and ask it to solve the world's problems, but will work hard to raise their kids to be good people and then ignore their ideas.

The current economy is more easily understood when you realize there's a rush to replace workers with cheaper devices that will make everything more complicated and ruin the environment.

I'm taking my CERT training for community disaster response. The class I'm taking impressive. 90 minutes in and I've learned a ton for others and myself.

Wow the AP nearly admits Trumpworld is full of sexual predators. https://apnews.com/article/trump-election-sexual-misconduct-transition-gaetz-2fe42bb7ea72c5212236ae8d8c153901

Kudos to writer Matt GERTZ who is going to get a reprieve from annoying texts, jokes, Toots, and posts.

Matt Gaetz pulls out.

Look, I had to.

She almost gets it.

I get the impression if times get chaotic in the near future - which seems most likely - people will have to ask what they need and what they can do without.

The answers may shock some very wealthy people with some very toxic companies.

Night all.

Beyond some interesting cereal history, this video also shows how the evolution of Tony the Tiger probably made his collision with the online furry community inevitable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukGnvUQZduI

I've started taking CERT disaster preparedness training so I can do more for my community. Going to say even an hour in and it's eye-opening.

Ever think about the trees near your house?

Or who coordinates with NGOs trying to help without stepping on each other's toes?

Something humanity hasn't adjusted to is the cost of stupidity is much higher in our modern world.

A thousand years ago you mess up harvest, you and your family die. Simple.

Now you can vote for insane policies, accidentally destroy a piece of infrastructure due to a virus-infected USB you didn't check, or create a multilane pile-up because of your crappy car.

Dumbness can be amplified.

Does MTG realize she's essentially saying the Republican party is riddled with sex criminals?

"Independent Media" is a lie. Media needs funding, people to do it, resources, etc. - making NONE of it independent.

What we can do is have open, responsible, diverse media. Media where we know where the money comes from. Media that's not a giant behemoth or linked to a bunch of un-related businesses or in the pocket of a billionaire, or dependent on obscure mathematics of revenue.

A friend made a great observation on America having a national divorce. We should do it, plan it out, make it happen.

This is because if we do it, people will confront all the harsh realities of the country breaking up and be forced to ask very hard questions.

Which, ironically, would mean it would be less likely to happen.
