Do the smart leaders think people out here don't notice the party's absence and disregard for them? Again, any farmer knows you can't harvest a crop if you don't plant one and cultivate it.

Not my photo, just sharing.

What should we have learned from Covid-19? That oil is worthless in a society without consumption. That healthcare has to be public because health is public. That 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they’re being paid. That we live in a society, not an economy. As usual, we learned nothing.

Well, H5N1 is coming...

Trust me, #H5N1 isn't just confined to poultry or dairy farms anymore. The last few human cases with no links to farms had an unknown origin. What's that tell ya? 🤨

Just watching it spread. Too little mitigation, too late. Day late, dollar short.

Judge rules Youngkin administration can’t pull Virginia out of greenhouse gas agreement

After the Legislature voted down multiple Youngkin-backed bills to withdraw, the State Air Pollution Control Board — which has a majority of Youngkin appointees — voted 4-1 to exit the agreement. However, in a five-page decision Tuesday, Floyd County Circuit Court Judge Randall Lowe declared the action “unlawful, and thereby null and void.”

In the meantime, phrases I use instead of “R…..Ukraine war,” which is incorrect.

• Ukraine’s defense of the free world.
• Ukraine defense to save Europe from a hegemonic, genocidal attacker.
• Ukraine ‘s defense against a 21st-century hyper-genocide.
• Ukraine’s defense of its culture, language, sovereignty, and legal borders.
• Ukraine ‘s defense for its survival and that of every free nation, against brutal hybrid war by its lawless neighbor.

Good morning, CoSo!

Truth isn't one side of a scale that has to be balanced out. Nobody ever got closer to the truth by having to compare it and contrast it with a lot of falsehoods or (more likely) one approved-of falsehood.

People who ask for "equal time" for their favorite lies are only one step away from outlawing telling the truth altogether. They appeal to fairness. What is really fair is letting everyone have access to the truth without having to hack their way through a jungle of lies.

Friendly reminder that everyone needs to wear sunscreen. This years derm check revealed another squamous cell above my left eyebrow. Fortunately a shave biopsy did the trick with it being in-situ.

As a naturalized US citizen, I consider myself to be vulnerable to deportation by the Trump regime. Even though I am very white, I talk funny, and I dislike authoritarian assholes.
Our current plan is to be free and clear of most of our physical stuff and all property by next Summer. If the US government declares me to be undesirable, we will relocate to the UK.
