We're in a bit of a wind storm right now. The electricity has come and gone over a dozen times. Trees have been blown over. The mayor sent several messages between four and five 🕠 The cover of the BBQ was blown away. It's gone. My wife slept right through it. She's a light sleeper. 😂

I claimed that the right is against worker's rights. Reply: The right has improved the country from the mess the left has made. I debunked that claim so thoroughly that my opponent was flustered. He claimed that a right wing president had committed an error a left wing president had committed.

When a video inserts the word "mathematics" out of nowhere, it's AI slop. What tell tale signs have you discovered?

Republicans Enable THIS

It has rained practically continually for about a month. Yesterday was sunny. Today, more rain. Carnival is threatened, but never cancelled.

In Spain they say that "the world is a handkerchief, and we are the snots". This means that it's a small world. This morning, I was interviewed. This afternoon, I received a text: "How did the interview go?" A guy I met a couple of months ago.

I found an interesting bug in the YouTube / music apps. I was listening to a podcast, and YouTube music showed a message: "You don't have auto play on." I turned it on (there's no way to turn it off again) Then, I watched a video on YouTube, and it auto played the next video! I turned it off.

That's way less than the percentage in the Trump administration.

I got some floppy disks from The Netherlands, three years back. I finally bought a floppy disk reader. These are backups from 1985, when I was 15. It's a mess, but also cool. I found a letter I wrote to my old Dutch teacher after graduating from another school. He had encouraged me.

There's now a Draft feature? That was hard to program, wasn't it?

Why don't they call sex workers "lay people"?

ICE is acting unconstitutionally. This is not democracy. This is fascism. We must remove the leaders from government that are making ICE operate this way illegally. No one is safe in this kind of a country. #EpsteinFiles #RemoveTrumpFromOffice #JusticeForReneeGood #JusticeForAlexPretti

I’m starting to suspect that prayers don’t really work.

A lot of people are saying that Trump is dying. I don't care for that bullshit. Call me when he's dead, or preferably impeached (or jailed).

ONLY BECAUSE THEY GOT CAUGHT......... 👇

Someone just apologized for misgendering my dog at the dog park and was offended when I said it doesn't matter to her in the slightest. It doesn't. What the hell is with people?

I'm with green.

That's where tipping culture came from.

did you know? when a waitress asks you “is there anything else I can help you with” she’s inviting you to eat her. this is an expected part of the job

Scam call: We're calling clients of "phone company" to offer a discount. Me: I'm not a client of that phone company. Then, I hang up the phone.

Or asking about how any of his policies helps Americans. How does murdering fishermen help Americans? How does murdering immigrants help Americans? How does murdering Americans help Americans? How does murdering NATO help Americans? So many unasked questions.

The replies to this post are hilarious. Do give it a read.

Did anyone ever doubt it? In my opinion it was s murder-suicide. They murdered him, and called it a suicide.

My timeline is back to "normal". I don't usually block people, and blocking three in a row is quite shocking. Don't tell people not to vote. Vote for whoever you like. Advocate for whoever you like. Just don't tell people not to vote. Democracy is under attack and you're not helping.

We were going to do an archery exhibition on Sunday. It was cancelled because of the storm. My friend Martha told me the storm is called Martha. When a storm has a name, you know it's true.

Shocked to learn that Trump is still a racist..🙄

I just blocked some stupid account, bragging about not voting. It's an obvious troll.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Having non-politicized career experts in the civil service, instead of political sycophants who don't know anything about the issues they working on, may seem like an abstract issue But doing it the way we do it makes your life better, and the Trump/Project 2025 proposal would make your life worse

Men resigning after the horrors revealed in the Epstein files is NOT justice.

Talking about Ukraine, we live in a small village in Spain, and Ukrainian refugees are here because Russia is attacking civilian infrastructure. It's -25°C in Ukraine, su it's difficult for civilians to survive without heating and electricity. It's 7°C here.

Our cat hardly ever purrs audibly. The first time I heard her purr, was the first evening at my house. That doesn't mean she doesn't purr. I had my finger on her throat this evening and I felt her purring. Inaudibly.

Personally, I think it's swell that you vote for whoever floats your boat. I think it's a pity that a large number of Democrats don't vote when it matters. Trump said he'd be a dictator. Kamala didn't say she'd end the Palestinian genocide on day one. It's not the same.

Talking about rapists, have you noticed that most won't even face trial? Maxwell is in jail. She's a woman. Weinstein is in jail. He's a Jew. Cosby was in jail. He's black. Trump is in the White House. He's a white (orange) supremacist scumbag. Coincidence? I don't think so.

The perpetrators in the Epstein files will never get a proper comeuppance.

Don't question the great leader, the orange Führer.

People voted for this?

The next time any politician remotely utters the vague NOTION of gutting a welfare program i’m just assuming they’re a pedophile from now on

Judge Hands Trump a Fifth Loss in His Effort to Halt Offshore Wind Projects

In my 20s, had an idea for a fiction book. Sent off query letters to publishers and one asked for a small sample of my writing, so I sent that in. Then they asked for a full chapter. So I sent that. Then they asked for the full manuscript and my head exploded. Never finished it.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: It's fucking ironic that the political party that is against "preferred names" has adopted a preferred name. The Republican party is full of shit.

For those keeping score at home:

"What's something that other people love that you hate" is toxic Twitter nonsense. It may drive a few clicks but they're rage clicks. I don't do that here. Instead, I prefer "what's something you love that other people probably don't know of." Share wonder and discovery, not rage.

Maybe the million and oneth study will be the one that convinces people

The pedophiles in the Epstein files called themselves pedophiles in the Epstein files. In public, they never did anything wrong. The FBI found no evidence either.
