After the vote that made McCarthy the House Speaker, has Matt Gaetz resigned yet as promised?

@FedoraChronicles I have a list of nominations for people to send as 🤔 first colonists. They may not cover all the tech skills needed, but it would help this planet to send them away.
@kohoso Stay safe up there in those mountains.

oh, such happy memories from back when Redlands was still mostly orange groves and a trip up the mountain was a delicious break from summer heat.

Once upon a time, George Lucas got the idea to create a "Young Indiana Jones" TV series to teach history. It filmed over three years, but not everything aired. It all showed up eventually on VHS and then in the DVD collection.
One of my favorite episodes was the Indy/Lawrence of Arabia crossover. He met Lawrence as a child, they corresponded over the years, and it culminated with this episode It's on YouTube at:

Good morning good people. Had your coffee/tea?
Slate has some thoughts on politicians and mandates for editorial transparency on social media sites.
My view: it's the site's house, so their rules. Social media having rules is not the same as government telling us what we can and can't say. But I found this a little enlightening re politicians' possible motives.
Hope you all have a good & thoughtful day~

If no one has heard this on the news
Late this past week, we had another school shooting in my area of Virginia
There was only one victim
A first grader brought his parents' gun to his elementary school, and shot his teacher in the stomach.
She was critical, but she is recovering.
Is there going to be an investigation into how he got ahold of it? That I haven't heard, but the first grader won't be charged.
And of course the Va GOP is once again silent on the shooting

As their first official act, House Republicans want to eliminate 87,000 good paying IRS jobs, because nothing says you love America like firing thousands of hard-working Americans so you can help your rich corporate overlords avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
@DJNoneYa Party of law & order is really party of scofflaws and vendettas.

Kevin McCarthy defied a congressional subpoena
Jim Jordan defied a congressional subpoena
Scott Perry defied a congressional subpoena
Biggs defied a congressional subpoena
These same scofflaws are about to demand compliance from Hunter, Fauci & Garland?!
Get the F outta here
@ChristopherNoyesRoberts No yogurt. Sun dried tomatoes in olive oil, onions, garlic, a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, dill, kalamata olives. Made some savory rice with it. The house smelled so good for 7 hours!
@Juhstin Is he really that gullible?
Doomed, doomed he is. That is not the way of a leader.
@DPotatoesOBrien Pagen household, and landlocked. Made a quartet of gnomes decked out in colors of the season. Dolt that I am, failed to get pictures before a storm called for bringing them in a bit early. Thinking of making new hats and calling them Leprechauns in March.
