Every single member of this administration sees themselves, first and foremost, as a Content Creator™ It's like they staffed an administration with homeschooled aliens who learned about humanity through mainlining TikTok accounts. Just unbelievable levels of sweaty dorkiness.

In modern Druidry, Michealmas is often associated with the Irish sea god Mannanan mac Lir. According to this view, with the arrival of Christianity, the cult of this Celtic water deity was swiftly folded into the veneration of the Archangel Michael. The latter was connected with safety at sea. 🌊

“We resist impermanence with tremendous energy. We photograph what we love, we try to freeze it, preserve it, hold onto it just a little longer. Dogen offers a radical reframe. The very fact that nothing lasts is not the tragedy. It is the teaching. It is the nature of awakening itself.

Just to recap: there was no terrorist attack in the UK, there was no terrorist "incident" in the UK, there were no vehicles full of explosives found, & the "terrorist suspects" have all been released within a day. Not a word of the breathless reporting was true yet Trump is implying it's all real.

Let me guess: racist farmer saw brown kids in hoodies “acting suspiciously” (read: having fun) and determined it was an attempt to bomb an Air Force base. Police bought it & overreacted & now have eggs on their face - so they’re obfuscating to cover their embarrassment.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.

So I just saw an older man sitting by himself in McDonald's attempting to cajole an AI into conversation about his day with mixed success. At times he'd lay his head down on the table then lift it as he thought of another question for conversation. Whether poignant or tragic I don't know.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

The largest artificial ski jump in the US. Who can guess the state without looking? Not only is the view 30 miles to the horizon but given the height of the hill and tower the effect for the jumpers is like standing atop a 60 story building - then launching off.

Mums season. This used to signify the end of our season raising butterflies here in Michigan. We'd hand feed them by spraying a sugar water solution on flowers and gently placing them on. Earlier in the summer we'd use marigolds until they were no longer available. Good memories.

My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

They are LYING. 1st, there's no conceivable fraud in paying enormous premiums for insurance that provides mediocre coverage at best. 2nd, they're saying that "some" ppl have never filed a claim - so they must somehow be defrauding the govt by giving them $$$. This is insanity & it's egregious.

Today, September 22, is Bilbo Baggins' birthday, known colloquially in the 4th Age as Hobbit Day. To celebrate properly I recommend a party outdoors with plenty of ale and Longbottom Leaf, followed by your local wizard performing a spectacular fireworks display. Speeches optional.

This claim has been proven in spades now: a Gestapo force of immigration police with more funding than most modern militaries arresting & detaining citizens for filming them, a network of concentration camps where tens of thousands are detained, the FBI tracking down critics online, etc. #Fascism.
