I am the grandmother of an austistic grandchild.

It's going to get personal.

I got work to do.

@th3j35t3r Oh, Admiral. People love the lazy!

There are people who still go out and buy a $300 12 foot skeleton for Halloween when they have $3000 in credit card debt.

There are people who complain about the $5 a dozen eggs when one of their neighbors owns a productive chicken coop (and sometimes gives the eggs away for free!)

Lazy feels sooooooo goooooood.

Hey New Eggs-

This place is different. Ask questions. Weโ€™re usually nice here if you are. Use hashtags liberally

Sorry, no algorithm here. Youโ€™ll have to go exploring to find cool people. It wonโ€™t be that hard. It throws people off but itโ€™s better really.

Create filters. Block people you donโ€™t like. Follow those you do. No bots. No ads.

If you find you like it here, go so we can keep the lights on.

It wasnโ€™t her fault.

No candidate can reason about facts and policies with voters who have no real interest in such things. They like the promises of social revenge that flow from Trump, the tough-guy rhetoric, the simplistic โ€œI will fix itโ€ solutions.

An affluent society that thinks it is living in a hellscape is ripe for gulling by dictators who are willing to play along with such delusions.
