“Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow.” — Milton Meyer, They Thought They Were Free
Noooooo!!! Fucking hell 😢
Celebrating Christmas in TN means turning the AC on because it’s 72° outside with 80% humidity.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis
Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.
I saw this the other day and it’s spot on.

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”
Wow, wild.
Anyway, here's a photo of Atlantic Owner Laurene Powell Jobs having a nice time with Ghislaine Maxwell.
The paradox of tolerance. The only thing a tolerant society cannot accept is intolerance, least the intolerant hoard ruin society.
I walked away from Facebook during covid and haven’t looked back. It does my mental health wonders not seeing all the dumb shit people post and say in comments.
This looks so delicious 🤤
You just know it has to be something along those lines. Then we wait while effective treatments are made illegal. What a time.
Are you sure canceling Stephen Colbert’s show was “purely a financial decision”?
🤨 the what?
Also always important to remember that police are allowed to lie to you and make false or misleading statements in order to garner the response that they want.
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. 'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom? 'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break! - Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without A Country
Yeah 🫠 it sucks.
Same! I thought for sure it was a faux templated generated meme. Nope, from his account with tweets after it. How is this the timeline we’re living in?!
Ughh… I saw some poster for an event he was doing with Randy Houser @ 3rd & Lindsley on Friday. Some cosplay “fearless army” garbage. Please tell me you “accidentally” hit him with your luggage.
Hard agree. It takes a LOT to move me to “you are an irredeemable piece of shit” but this one, she’s earned it.
I confident, and hoping that he can beat Strom Thurman's record of 24 hours 18 minutes when he was railing against the civil rights act. The fact that you can't technically sit though and must stand for the entire time you hold the floor is what might get him.
Screen shot of now deleted twitter posts from @DataRepublican, content of tweet chain is as follows: I was traveling at the time and had limited access to hardware. Fortunately, I had brought the backup drive with me. I ran this query on an external hard drive connected to a MacBook Air in a hot, humid, hotel room. When I returned home, the query completed without any issues. -- The US Spending database is multiple terabytes large. It literally does not fit in any of the standard MacBook Air builds. -- Also, database engines depend on a tight coupling between the storage layer and the RAM layer - an assumption that's obviously broken when you have a laptop handling the compute + RAM, and an external hard drive connected by USB cable.

The libs must have put this fence here, 'cause libs. Best to just tear it down! What else is there to know? 🤦🏻♂️
Good grief this clown couldn’t be by more stupid.
Truth, served well.
You know… the research! That somehow can’t be cited or linked, left as an exercise to all who question or doubt the straw man argument to “do your own research”
Decades have been spent trying to convince the best and brightest minds in their fields and communities that a career as a civil servant was a good investment in their country and for them. All that work went up in smoke in less than 30 calendar days. It’s unbelievable.
