Occasionally I'll see what's trending and when I saw Robert Redford I thought 'oh no'. And indeed an icon of the acting world has passed. I recall as a kid seeing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in a movie theater. All the President's Men on Tv. The wonderful cynical All the pres men on tv.

Ok There are so many members of trump co. that need to be outsted, but I would start, besides trump itself, with RFK jr. Sending science back 1000 yrs.

Great White seen off east coast, fascinating creatures: www.accuweather.com/en/weather-n...

The birth of Heavy Metal was Black Sabbath. Ozzy was integral to that. A talent has passed. I'm actually amazed he made it to as long as he did given his ways.

Levity and joy post, who doesn't need that right now? www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5nz...

In a surprise move, enough Republicans vote no to even bring the Big Bullshit Bill to the floor. Mike (I monitor my son's porn) Johnson has his head spinning. They plan on going all night to twist the arms of these Republicans because if the bill fails, Daddy will be mad and sic his nutjobs on them.

We're 6mo in, not going to 28 'Trump administration freezes billions in funding for after-school and summer programs' 'US private payrolls post first drop in more than two years' 'Iran’s president orders country to suspend cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog IAEA' And Paramount gave trump 16mil

Let's introduce female bull jumping, taking place over a 1000 yrs ago, in the Crete-Minoan culture. Yes, women have been athletic for a very long time. The human race wouldn't have survived otherwise.

Well, this just happened: The 14th amendment has just been nullified by the Supreme Court: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Disabled protesters are being zip tied. One has to ask, even if you're a dufus trump supporter, can they come after you? This is authoritarianism, this is what it looks like. If they can do this to them...they can do it to your parents, your kid. Even you.

Light post. Do you ever mix up actors that have a similar appearance? Kathy Bates, Louise Fletcher and Ellen Burstyn.

When your poll numbers are tanking, what's the best way to get them back up? War. War sells. That's why the dufus in chief did this.

Ok so if you're not watching Indiana Fever basketball, you're missing out. CC and Sophie Cunningham are tearing it up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykXl...

This is nothing new. This has been going on since at least the 60s. Trump is trying really hard to declare martial law so the last vestiges of democracy fall. Don't fall for it. If someone tries to convince you that violence is the way-that's the narc. Separate and document. Godspeed to all of us.

For those of you who plan to go to June 14th No Kings protests, understand this. Sources say we will be infiltrated by trumps informal army: Proud Boys, 3%s, etc. The plan should be obvious-they will be the one lighting up cars, breaking windows, committing violence.

So, you know that 700 marines trump wants to send. The bill will come to 134 million and counting. There were approx 300 protesters at the height. LA county has 88 cities, the majority with their own police force. Need more assistance-California Highway Patrol. Marines not needed and indeed illegal.

Caitlin Clark is the most significant bballer on the court. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVXS...

Ever wonder where your clothes go that are donated? They may very well wind up in Ghana. Because of fast fashion, more clothing is manufactured than ever before and because of low quality tossed more than ever before. Warning: depressing images of cows eating fabric: www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08...

2) So, to save face they're now in talks to transfer the plane as a gift. He blackmailed them. And guess what, they won't be air force one ready until-2yrs. The retrofitting will make the plane cost close to a billion, far above what we could've got from boeing. He's cutting waste isn't he.

1) So it turns out the narrative of Qatar gifting a plane for donny is not so accurate. Boeing said they won't have a replacement for air force one until 2yrs. donny couldn't wait. So the pentagon was going to buy or lease the Qatari plane until donny backed them into a corner by saying 'gift'.

2) It's revoked for 350,000 Venezuelans. The ones in south Florida are crying now. There is a real possibility many of them will be tortured and/or sent to death. Maduro is a full on dictator (who did not win the election). Meanwhile, trump is fast tracking refugee status for WHITE south africans.

1) So Venezuelans who supported trump are getting the rudest of awakenings. trump said their status is safe and like idiots who haven't been paying attention to last ten years believed him. trump went to his slaves, er buddies, on the supreme court to make sure that temp protected status is revoked.

One of the greatest documentaries of cats ever: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpFa...

I just want to say, in my small still voice-thank you Canada for staying sane. We are now boxed in with two countries who get it. Maybe in 2026, if fElon doesn't corrupt, we may follow.

Any particular distant food memory that gives you dreams? When I was a kid on 3rd floor of a dept. store in a big city mom went shopping handing a $5 bill. Off to the lunch counter while the 20ish skeptical lady looked at me I ordered a hot dog with mustard and onions on wax paper. Best ever dog.

Just in case anyone doesn't understand what blue states can do, California exceeds Japan as a larger economy, blue states have power-let's use it: www.scrippsnews.com/politics/eco...

Understand something, the world problem is not a declining birth rate, it's overpopulation. Even though the birth rate has slowed down, there's still over 8 billion people, 1.5 million people are added every week. This creates enormous strain on earth systems.

Good to see that trump is a moronic complete selfish prick to red states as well. He's denying fed disaster relief to Arkansas because he wants to eliminate FEMA. The request was made by Gov Huckabee-Sanders! www.accuweather.com/en/weather-n...

We have no need for exterminators, there are no pests. We live out in semi wild country. We have two cats. I'm 5 10. I've seen my little kit cat jump up to my height to catch a fly in mid air. The most amazing natural athletes.

One of my far vids the slits: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXIz...

So I went to check the weather as we're getting quite a bit of rain. Expanding the radar map of Accuweather to see just how far the storm is, I noticed, DA FAQ!, they have already erroneously pasted onto the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. There is no Gulf of America! It's not a thing.

On a lighter note: Back yard secret neighbors! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyZB...

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

I don't we will have a UNITED states much longer if this keeps up. I think what you will see is a great migration of freethinkers to blue states from red states and vice versa. A balkanization. Of course, this is far from ideal, and difficult. Far more efficient for the fed to handle certain things.

A song for our times. Both joyfull and demanding: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Znh...

Canadians are the top tourists to the US. Not anymore. Canadians are, rightfully in my opinion, more and more withholding their visit. This is having devastating effects on everything from hotels to the airline industry. Thanks Obama (s/).

This is for folks who say NO ONE is fighting for us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfRj...

Here's what I do know-lots of people will ignore a lot of things, until you mess with their money. You take money from someone's 401k purposefully from market manipulation, many will pull a Luigi. Of course not me Agent Mike, just making an observation. I hear the kettle boiling.

I take walks in my neighborhood. Sidewalks here so it's mostly safe. Going to a convenience store as a little reward. I realize on first sight I'm a bit intimidating. A woman walks towards me and went out her way to avoid my path. I get it, but it made me sad. 2nd mind, smart girl. Never trust men.

On a really light note I discovered a phenomenal new show with some of my favorite comedic actors of the modern era, 'St. Denis Medical'. Also new ones never seen. Check it.

I used to be a total news/politics junkie. I find myself much less enthusiastic now. Some days can be depressing. Some days I just go to sites and read the first few stories. I just need to know if WWIII has started or if Elon has stolen ALL my money or if the asteroid is headed our way.

Sometimes, just for fun, I like to click on the trending buttons. Saw 'Richard Chamberlain'. Curious, I clicked. He just died at 90. I had no idea he was still alive. Very interesting man. Did you know he came out when he was 68?

bsky.app/profile/audi... Well that was interesting. Today I got called a maga nazi sympathizer on this platform. People are getting startled and scared. Losing their damn minds.

I my top five favorite movies are the Alien series. The original is the best but Alien 3 is fantastic.

So when I was in my late 20s, I read Carl Sagan's 'Demon Haunted World' and it changed me. I realized that science and rationality is what lifted the human animal. That that aspect of existence is now being ridiculed infuriates me.

Why has Gretchen Whitmer's acount been suspended?

Karoline Leavitt, the current WH press sec. says to an AP reporter she's 'offended' by questioning her acumin of economics. Bitch please. You went to a religious school and look good in a dress. You have no authority on economics: www.youtube.com/shorts/kv15p...

I follow Bodega Cats. This is so that. If you've ever encountered or, gasp, owned a cat you can relate. They're awesome but not to be trifled. www.dnainfo.com/new-york/201...
