Someone explain it to me. We know that <Food Disruption> is part of the Project 2025 game plan This weekend, add sugar (allergens) & cinnamon (neurological effects) to the list So what is the upside to this plan? How do they make this a plus for them? Or do they just want us to die?

I have never heard this song. I am nearly 70, so I really could give AF about stupid pop-songs. And I fucking hate Texas (I lived there, it is earned) [Yes, I am aware there is such a song & its popularity. So. What.]

#ResistanceRoots Johnny Appleseed was born on this day in 1774 in Leominster, Province of Massachusetts Bay. He was a real person, and he planted a lot of apple trees, but he mainly sold them to make hard cider. He was also a pacifist, altruistic, revered nature and respected Indigenous tribes. /1

Johnny Appleseed. The romanticized image of Johnny Appleseed handing out sweet, shiny apples for children to bite into is a myth popularized much later. In the 1800s, the American frontier ran on alcohol. Water supplies weren’t safe to drink. Because fermenting killed off pathogens, hard cider became the primary daily beverage for entire families — even children. The average frontier settler drank 10.5 ounces of hard cider per day. Because Appleseed refused to graft trees due to his religious beliefs, his apples were genetically unpredictable, small and bitter. Known as “spitters” because you’d spit them out if you tried to eat them raw, these tart apples were perfect for pressing into hard cider. Resourceful frontier families used them for other staples as well, including apple butter, applesauce and livestock feed, and used a process called “freeze distillation” to make applejack. Note, however, that Appleseed rarely sold apples. He sold the young saplings and the land itself.

The premise of Reacher is: what if a serial killer was actually a nice guy and just had to kill all these bad boys and girls Because holy shit the body count on 4 seasons is INSANE (Season 1 was the best & I will die by Reacher's hand on this)

Because we did not prosecute everyone involved with tRump 1, we now have a mass of children they will either sell, exploit, or export to countries with no protections. This is on us, Dems. When we take power - put all these bastards in jail and take care of the kids

A song came on and I had to laugh. It is Eric Claptons Lay Down Sally. My sister thought it was the stupidest song in the universe. Who care if they are laying down the salad! She is gone now, but the silly shit remains

tRump is dismantling democracy with the help of a somnolent Congress, corrupt SCOTUS, & a lapdog press. But sure, let us worry about drinking an iced coffee at an interview (auto reject in my book). Bezos keeps your gonads in a jar by his desk in his mega-yacht.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

If you've read a book (like, say, THE CALAMITIES) and enjoyed it, a nice thing you can do is leave a review somewhere! And tell your friends, family, and any passersby. And also leave the author a big bag of money and, oh, I dunno, apples somewhere within easy reach. Good apples. NICE apples.

I realized I was an OLD when my workplace removed all the analog clocks because the rest of the workers *could not read them* Meet you at the nursing home where will communicate in code (cursive) and use drawings of clock hands to tell when the esbat starts.

You know that Starlink ad w Arthur C. Clarke? He was a #SciFi author, posited & then worked on communication satellites He was also a notorious pedophile - loved little boys. So much so that he moved to Sri Lanka where he could not be extradited. #Musk may not be a pedo, but he sure likes them
