OK. I mean I get he's whacked but I heard this as the price of gas is a small price to pay to not be nuked. Without they war Iran could have taken out San Diego or LA -- not that they could have -- not that this is remotely reasonable, but it just doesn't seem to be what is being implied.

My big brother of the heart and I watch this movie every year, drinking White Russians. And I now live in the Owen's Valley, where Tremors was filmed (the Film Museum in Lone Pine CA has a wonderful Tremors exhibit). Wit, charm, humor, just a delight.

Oh My God. How did you manage not to knock the phone out of his hand with an "Ewwwwwww"? Too many men are just scum. I know many who aren't, we all do. But too many men are just scum.

She voted for Trump. I am sorry for her loss, but that is a "don't really like gay people despite the fact my daughter is gay" choice.

I appreciate stopped clock moments. I figure this is enlightened self-interest, but there is a huge audience that needs to know what the President is doing is beyond the pale, and Fox is the only network who can reach them. Good on them.

I was living in Pakistan working at an American School on 9/11. Several Pakistani students lost family in the WTC. Flew home on 9/24, couldn't believe the lack of "coming together" everyone else seemed to be seeing.

Discussions like that are normal for us. We both feel our political positions mirror our values. Because our values align so do our political positions.

3 presidents made security arrangements to go do a thing. They did not duck out of their normal flight, while pretending to be on it, WHILE that flight was under potential attack leaving others to potentially be at harm.

Hmmm good they got this lesson as minors. But reinforces my "no fucking waymo" opinion. I am nit getting in a car that can lock me in and take me somewhere I do not want to go. Kidnapping is wrong. Ends don't justify means.

I'm an atheist UU. I absolutely know I know more about most faiths than many, many, many folks who belong to those faiths. Toss in any history? Particularly history of the evolving theology of those faiths? It always shocks me. Like, how can you believe a thing you know NOTHING about?

The UUs and UCCs wrote Our Whole Lives as a lifespan sexuality education beginning in KG. Secular, UU and UCC versions exist. I've only taught the middle school version but it was comprehensive. www.uua.org/lifespan/re-...

Lifespan Sexuality Education
There is an OWL curriculum and resources to meet the learning needs and life stage, from kindergarten to elderhood.

The UUs and UCCs have "Our Whole Lives" sexuality education curriculum which begins sexuality education in KG. There are secular, UU and UCC versions. I've only taught the middle school level so can't say if it does what you'd want for young folks. But a start... www.uua.org/lifespan/re-...

Like 4 of our Presidents, I am a Unitarian. Our faith was dropped entirely. We are now "other religions". But sure, Mormons were who were insulted here. Even this argument against Christian Nationalism is about Christians.

Linda Tolladay @moonlight59.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
Yep, that is how I define evidence too. Evidence: that instinct that something must be wrong because I lost the election. I've had that evidence ever since I lost the race for class president in 4th grade. Bobby Grossman was a cheater, I knew it.

Linda Tolladay @moonlight59.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
Yeah, that's the issue. Nothing about the faiths dropped entirely. I gotta admit to being amused the Mormans are just learning Christians are exclusive.

It is shocking that the conservative celeb with no cred beyond "my mansion burned" believed his own press and didn't crush the incumbent in liberal LA. Just shocking.

I'm an election worker. My county had 50% of our votes counted election night. 50% dropped on Thursday. Not because we cheated but because it takes time to verify signatures, separate by precinct, open and inspect and prep mailed ballots. Dems were told to vote late this election, and they did.

And which Church of Christ? The views of the Church of Christ and the United Church of Christ are, um, different. Amused the lumped the Anglicans and the Episcopalians who worked hard to put some difference between themselves. Meanwhile there are 600k UUs in the US and something like 150k Brethren..

I'm an election worker in Inyo County. By election night we'd processed and tallied 2001 mailed ballots and 850 in person. Thursday, June 4, we processed an additional 2800 mailed ballots. Results posted on election day represented half our total votes In our county everything handled by the public.

As an election worker both at the polls (Precinct Inspector) and on my county's mailed ballot board - thank you. Citizens process the ballots in my county, open envelopes, inspect for errors which would prevent counting. We've processed 2000, will do another 2000 on Thursday. Everyones vote matters.

My county was very low for early ballot returns (what we are seeing now) even below most non-presidential primary years. Low turn out in person but a ton of drop offed mailed ballots. It might take a little while to get solid results on a bunch of races.

She'll be fine. Currently there exists no evidence her employers, her publishers, her listeners, or her readers would recognize reality if it slapped them in the face.

I like books. I also like traveling and backpacking and not having the weight of books. I like reading at night without waking my partner, and knowing the book I'm reading is always with me.
