Progressive, Humanist, Generation Jones. I have no idea what I’m doing here - why I’m spinning on this planet. But as I fumble around with all the rest of you I hope to have made something, somewhere just a little bit better.

Trump wanted to be a movie star, like Hitler wanted to be an artist. If Hollywood had just let him get famous, instead of a monstrous leader-creating monuments to himself & burning the world down on his way to the grave-we could have had another Chuck Norris (or more accurately, Tommy Wiseau).

I had a Hamster named, “Theodoric of York, Medieval Hamster.” Everyone called him “Teddy.” He was fine with it. However I am mildly annoyed that although my first name is the diminutive form of a rather ostentatious name, some people like to call me by this long name. Just stop! I’m not that fancy.

I laughed, then I cried, then I seethed. I’m so sick of this backwards, sorry excuse for a state. If someone wants to pay to relocate me, my children, and grandchildren we’ll be gone before you can blink.

MC Hammersmith is my hero for the day. He stepped into the most awkward situation and then didn’t shy away at all. He stepped right up to the plate and drove it home. Mad respect. “Israeli awkward in here.” 0.o I should think so!

This is entirely to please Trump, who has voiced criticism of 60 Minutes under the new owners, who are the definition of rank amatuers, emphasis on rank. This Stephen Miller interview suggestion is idiotic in the context of this story and shows a startling lack of sophistication or smarts.

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not. The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose? Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming? I doubt it.

Just saw this for the first time while eating at a small Mexican restaurant. Music videos of Latina music were playing on a TV in the corner. The music breaks & this pops up on the screen. I can’t begin to tell you how particularly vile it was to hear this in the setting of a Mexican restaurant.

I keep thinking about this moment at the White House as Trump berates Zelenskyy and how Zelenskyy knew all the while the plan he had in the works for the epic drone attack. Imagine how he was biting his tongue as Trump told him he didn’t have the cards.
Trump & Vance act like little bitches and gang up on Zelenskyy at White House meeting as Trump claims that Zelenskyy doesn’t have the cards.

This should be shouted from the rooftops daily until people understand what is happening, what has been happening for decades. The gap between the rich and the poor is ridiculously wide because the rich have been buying politicians to do their bidding for decades.

I just heard former Senate staffer Gabe Garbowit say that EVERY sign at EVERY protest needs to say “IMPEACH, CONVICT & REMOVE” and nothing else. Without a clear, specific demand, Congress can just ignore us. We have to be crystal clear about what we want them to do! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!!

Ummm…. He got *caught* twice. Kinda like when someone gets caught speeding. Or Trump gets caught cheating at golf. If someone does a stupid thing habitually, of course they’ll get caught on occasion. He’s stupid and arrogant. He’ll keep doing it until he’s ousted.

I’m old enough to remember news when nothing really happens. A but boring and mundane but it was - okay. Then suddenly, one day, something happens. Maybe it’s something really cool and exciting, maybe tragic. Then it’s over and nothing really happens. I miss that.

Cowards. I hope the Republicans who put these guys in office don’t develop amnesia come next voting day. I’m not optimistic given what teeny-tiny memories they seem to have when it comes to just voting red down the line on voting day but I’m daring to hope, just a little.
