An amazing day of snowboarding at Berkshire East. The real Beast of the East.

A view down from the top of a ski trail with a scenic mountain background.

A look up at the mountain from the parking lot of a ski mountain.

I don't want Venezuelan oil. Say NO to imperialism.

That FIFA peace prize has aged like milk. #FIFA

Trump got his peace prize. Hahaha, how fucking sad. The world is laughing. It's basically a consolation prize, participation trophy and ego bribe all wrapped up in one embarrassing ceremony. What's going on over there at FIFA? #FIFA #TRUMP #HUMILIATION

The 14th amendment to the constitution says, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States...". Seems to me that there is no room for interpretation here. We have to sweep the midterms. We can still fix this.

We need to sweep the mid terms so we can impeach President Trump and a few supreme court justices. It's the only way to save America.

A great day at a great pro-democracy rally. 😀

A very handsome man holding a protest sign that says, "America has no king, but it does have a court jester."

I just watched part of the meeting between Trump and Zelenski. Absolutely fucking humiliating. I can't believe this fucking clown.

Lol, WTF. I guess the Trump state department intends to buy $400 million worth of Tesla vehicles. It's a good scam. Musk gives Trump $10 million. The Trump administration gives Musk $400 million in tax payer money. Win win for them both. The rest of us lose. This is so efficient.

Does anyone know of a good resource that shows historically how much of the total income tax is paid by the various tax brackets? I'm looking specifically for how much the lower income brackets pay versus the ultra wealthy.

Snowboarding at night, under the lights with your wife is awesome.

I was just out in the backyard with the dogs. Such a beautiful spring day. All the insects are waking up and coming alive, doing insect things. This is not normal for New England in mid-December. This planet will be so fucked up in 30 years. We're so glad we don't have kids.

My dream from the other night It's the zombie apocalypse. The people in my bunker are starving, near death. I go out into the world to find food and spot a deer grazing. I get it sighted with my gun, but don't take the shot because I don't want to scare the cattle also grazing in the field. So Weird

I'm hoping someone here can help me remember the title of a YA #Scifi book I read many years ago. It's about a group of recent high school grads who get denied jobs after graduating. They spend some time living in the slums of a city before waking up on another planet. Wish I could remember it.🤔 🪐📚
