We’re in another Middle East war. I’m reflecting on the fact that it’s easy to start a war, difficult to end it. There’s often war optimism, so it’s unlikely to end with bomb strikes today. Lastly, I’m troubled that Trump’s national security team is who we have running this war.

More iron in your diet can help with feeling cold. But make sure it's food-based. Most iron supplements are junk.

For a lot of Americans, this was their first glimpse of East Asian martial arts. Who could have guessed that Spencer Tracy would set the stage for Bruce Lee?

It seems that the queens will simply have to make a deal with each other. Now there's a game - a fixed number of moves, each a trade or negotiation.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

On this date in 1967, the Supreme Court legalized interracial marriage nationwide. Mildred & Richard Loving got married right here in DC. #LovingDay

they piqued my curiosity, and I'm looking up the etymology of capital. I try to glean something from the nether-worldly challenged! Lovely avatar, btw. Little colorful birds are always fun.

This is all superstitious religious mumbo jumbo magical thinking absurdity. It's the 21st century. Interesting stuff historically, but it's not real.

Adam in the PNW @leftturnisright.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

Okay ... well, those are completely different meanings for capital. But maybe it's a translation thing. English has a lot of words that can mean very different things. Good luck chiseling off those old dusty icons!

It's a type of religious belief system that started in the eastern Mediterranean. That's about as relevant as it is. But it's not real. It's faith.

I don't care. It's about as relevant as astrology. Old shit that's lost all its meaning.

Oh!!! You DO mean capitals! As in iconography represented the caps of columns. What's the issue?

Adam in the PNW @leftturnisright.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

You mean capital as in capitalism. You will make a more solid argument if you don't make it a Western thing. Accumulated wealth has been big deal for a very long time with almost every civilization that we know of. The haves and have-nots.

I know what capital is, and I know that a capital is where a state's seat of government lies. What's your argument?

Were the Ottomans Western? How about Temujin? Buddhist terrorists are active in Myanmar. Are they Western?

I started with comic books. Then "trashy" books like Conan the Barbarian. My folks supported my reading of ANYTHING. I began reading the newspaper at around age 14.

One has limited free speech rights at work. They can't keep you from discussing pay or other work-related issues like safety and organizing, but they can proscribe discussion of things not related to work.

52 years ago for me. I was more blues-focused, so it was Led Zeppelin for me. I had a hippy dippy teacher that played it for us claiming it would open our minds. 😂
