I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

The Electoral College is the actual unmerited advantage system that MAGAs mistakenly believe DEI is.

This song, written in 2017 / released in 2020, is relevant again. ...Dammit. People even know what the "content source" referenced in the title *is* again, thanks to them getting to boot NPR out of their press corps office. ...Yell with me, won't you? bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com/track/the-pr...

ME: *sits at desk and works* Just focus. Just focus. Don't look around. Do NOT look around. THE NEWS:

Senator Duckworth said Pete Hegseth is “just not qualified.” Then went on to say Republicans are “trying to shove through his confirmation as quickly as possible, before more news can break of more allegations.” It “speaks to how unfit he is.” More here:

You know, a non-Nazi who had an "awkward gesture" mistaken for a Nazi salute would probably make it quite clear that they were horrified about the misunderstanding, and they would apologize profusely for the hurt they unintentionally caused. n.b. Elon Musk is not doing those things

Today on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and David Lynch's birthday, I'm focusing as much as I can on dreams - making room for them, paying attention to them, believing in them, and manifesting them to make a better, more loving world. #mlk #davidlynch

Oh I'm sorry, I DO have a further update -- another friend posted elsewhere saying: "On the comment thread of an acquaintance's post, Ken Stringfellow defended Neil Gaiman." Yeah THAT fucking tracks. (He apparently took the 'innocent until proven guilty' angle, doubtless failing to read the room.)

7 years sober. Grateful for all who have given me so much love and support.

Thank you @stevemurdock.bsky.social for your support of me and my Big Stir mates!!!
