@estherschindler Got that right
@CanisPundit @ceorl @MLClark I mean that's one view. Or one might say that McConnell, Graham, and similar GOP folk pissed away the moment to draw back from the brink. I well remember Linds speaking after Congress re-convened the night of January 6; he sounded a little drunk and a lot rattled and he said basically, "enough already." A moment of clarity! -- and gone within days. So... who pissed what away, there?

Rick Steves:
Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jews, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power.... your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives...
Thank you, Seattle Times and publisher Frank Blethen. (Hey Bezos! Check out how not to be a fking coward while newspapering!)

@sirgeefive @k_ratoncita Racist or sexist. Back in the day my brother told me he voted for Obama, but with HRC and now Kamala he seems to have picked up a serious case of "I'd vote for a woman but not THAT woman." OTOH, it may be that his ultra-red surroundings (good ol' NE-03) and my racistAF sh*thead cousins finally got to him. It's gross either way.

Hundreds of completed ballots were reportedly lost in Vancouver, Washington, after smoke was seen billowing out of a ballot drop box.
A Portland, Oregon, ballot drop box was said to have been reported on fire just hours earlier. Investigators blamed an incendiary device set off inside the box.

@GrandmaJ Ahhh, I know that Penzey's heart -- you have excellent taste on multiple levels!
@matuzalem @th3j35t3r Classic "I alone can save you" mess
@VelvetDuchess @matuzalem @th3j35t3r Is it possible to scream and vomit simultaneously? Asking for a me.
@VelvetDuchess Oh FFS -- I mean, I'd make a joke about at least they're sticking with public-domain stuff rather than stealing, but THAT?! My god. No accident, just gross AF.

Good morning, CoSo fam! Sunrise here in Kilmacanogue before she tucked herself back up into her cloudy sky blanket. ❤️🌄❤️
May we keep CoSo’s heartbeat pumping by everyone of us going PRO for the small cost of $4.99 per month ❤️ https://help.counter.social/en/latest/pro-features.html

Even though I went Pro a month after I joined, I like to chip in a little extra when I can. And it sure warms my heart to see others donating! ❤️
Nobody is made of money. If you just can't afford to donate or go Pro, we all understand. We're happy to have you here!
But our host has been paying out of pocket to keep this ship afloat.
Every drop in the bucket helps! What would you pay for a latte, and what do you get from CoSo?
This is a great time to chip in!
@peeppeepcircus Yeah -- I don't need encouragement to pitch in; I just needed the link 😃 . Hoping your wonderful generosity gets another CoSonaut chipping in!
@peeppeepcircus Love that you're doing this! (I donated, but anonymously, so I could leave the spot for another matchee. I dunno, it made sense in my head 🤪)

Library of Possibilities.
“This is my latest experiential futures project: a series of books from the future, each inspired by the work and interests of a different NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist or engineer, made tangible, and smuggled on to public library shelves in Los Angeles for readers to discover.”

@DarksideStraxus The ambient / flow / sleep music channels are the use case that comes to mind, but sheesh, how many listeners do those have who aren't, erm, me?
