This is how I always recited it in school ... with a pause for those who believed in a god to catch up.

I keep hearing people say the US is the richest country in the world … but are we? Sure we have the highest GDP, but that's a poor marker when we don't have easily accessible education or healthcare, a living minimum wage, housing for our residents … at best we're a "Developing Country" w/ high GDP

I have a follow-up question: since you can't speak to specifics on actions taken by members of your org, does that mean they have been allowed to go rogue due to lack of supervision? At what level do we need to be asking these questions to get actual answers? Who's responsible, if not the Director?

Nothing sums up "Merry Christmas" quite like killing in the name of Christ. I'm sure Jesus is honored to receive such presents on his "birthday" ... not like he was into forgiveness and loving thy neighbor or anything ...

I admit I'm not a heavy math person, but if the hypothetical drug was at $100 and now it's at $13 that would be ... blinks twice at the numbers ... an 87% decrease in cost. There's an actual way to calculate that ... and here grandpa is just making up new maths? And sad cronies have to go with it 🤦

Buddy might wanna get educated on who and how the government subsidizes before he decides to use that as his talking point. Because broad swaths of the energy, agriculture, transportation and technology sectors fall into the same category as healthcare ...

So the take-away here is that Trump's wee hands are weaker than Biden's or Obama's or Bush's? I get that the argument for Biden, who is older than Trump, is that "they just did that fist-bump thing", but that wasn't for his entire term. I think I need a new BS-meter, this one seems stuck.

Hey grandpa, just because your memory doesn't go back that far, doesn't mean that ours don't. Too bad your unchecked narcissism won't allow you listen to the "qualified advisors" you should have hired ... instead, you hired pathetic sycophants.

Interesting what the data shows. If only the greedy folks in charge weren't trying to obfuscate and gaslight us into oblivion. From NPR, which doesn't collect all your data, unlike CNN's parent company (who collects "sex life" and "orientation" data? Seriously??) www.npr.org/2025/09/11/n...

Scientists link hundreds of severe heat waves to fossil fuel producers' pollution

A new study finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers, including oil companies.

This. I figured out at age 7 that organized religion wasn't about faith, but about controlling how the masses thought and felt. "People are pulling away from the church." "Desperation will bring them back ... and I have just the BBBill to ensure that" *evil laugh*

one of the stories Kevin Drum championed over his career was the causative link between environmental lead poisoning and other societal ills. I think it's one of the most important stories of the last 20 years and Drum was one of the main reasons people knew about it. RIP

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it. Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on. Making this my pinned post.

A few thoughts on protesting: 1. Be safe & peaceful, follow the rules and orders from police. 2. DO NOT post about being there on social media. If we get loud enough, I can see this DOJ/FBI calling them terrorist or insurrectionist acts. Don't give them ammo to find you. Apps like SIGNAL are safer.

FOLKS: The Senate is voting on the Laken Riley Act today. Make no mistake, it's a racial profiling bill. DEMAND YOUR SENATORS VOTE NO. Can we get 1,000 fast reposts and replies using the hashtag #NoRacialProfilingLaws to get it trending on Bluesky? Please and thank you! 🙏💪

Hey, @bsky.app when you allow media in dm's, could you require all parties to agree to it in each chat that's started? That way you can have dm's open without having to worry about a new chat suddenly assaulting you with unwanted media? Just a thought ... (submitted via Requests, too)

1/ Watching the recent #thedailyshow interview between #jonstewart and @benwikler.bsky.social brings these post-election thoughts to mind again. There was nothing wrong with the messaging of either campaign in this election cycle, each resonated with its base pretty well.

I saw this picture of Lindsey Graham from that Raw Story article and the similarities just struck me ... he's still recognizable as a Senator (Palpatine), but definitely sliding down the scale ... is there a Star Wars reboot coming out soon? Which brings us to another set of similarities ...
