Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 11/02/2025At 60 years old, I can, with dignity, say those dreams are far behind me. The troubling dreams are now being stuck on a school bus to elementary school. I've forgotten to get off or have slept through my stop. The bus wanders through strange cities while I hope for my stop to come round again. 010

Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Missed by many in this thread because their hair is on fire 🔥 is things are happening. As you posted injunctions are filed and put in force by the judiciary. Some are being ignored, which will lead to additional court rulings. A gutted DOJ will be up to their armpits trying to defend Trumps actions. 010
Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 01/02/2025@fritschner.bsky.social It's not particularly stupid to post thoughtful responses to the current crisis here on Bluesky. Its only stupid if you don't expect criticism from catastrophizers. Any opposition from the Senate Democratic minority has to be measured regain a majority in the 2026 mid-terms. 210

Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Yeah, well Ecclesiastes isn't a favorite for Aquinas 3:19 For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. 110

Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 31/01/2025And if a monkey appears and takes your Coca-Cola, DO NOT punch the monkey and take it back. As a twenty something in Malaysia, I made this mistake. It cost a $100 fine (in 1987 $) and 15 days of antibiotics from the bite. 000
Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Kyoto is an amazing place. Ryoanji was my fav place. The first time I sat at the edge of the landscape garden (karesansui) was... (no words). 010
Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 31/01/2025The prospect of working for this admin is frightening for the young engineers I know. Even those with cis white penises don't trust the way projects are being torpedoed with no thought for the consequences.

Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I hope he is wrong, but I fear he is not. I've never felt as ashamed of my country as I do now. The ideal to expand democracy after WWII has been overturned by hegemony and neocolonialism of the worst kind. 🥺 010

Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 24/01/2025This type of kindness is the "spoonful of sugar" to deliver the medicine. The far-right media has desensitized their consumers to words like racist. Switching up the words can bypass that desensitization... 1100

Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Yeah, I would much rather someone call me an asshole than a bot. I've spent decades developing my crusty old hippy persona just to have it dismissed as clever coding. 😉 100

Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 23/01/2025That's quite strange. Makes me wonder about some people and wonder if some people are people, or bots, or Russian bots, or whatever... In the meantime, people, be wonderful to people and be bots to bots and bots to bad-tempered little people (block, block, block). 030

Redbeard964 🧙♂️ @redbeard964.bsky.social · 13/01/2025These incel boys serve as concentrators of the misogyny in our culture. They have the belief they are owed a relationship for the amazing accomplishment of having a nut sack. 🙄 Life is hard; relationships are hard.
