Does anyknow know any burly/big men in the London area - who can put on a menacing face in order to retrieve personal belongings from a negligent care home?

True story.

This is tremendous news. This is actually huge. Sometimes I'm so proud of my species.

May I say it now, that while I'm not in many ways tied to NYC, that I am so very glad I won't have to see Cuomo's ugly mug in connection with it, or, indeed, very much at all.

If you, or people you know and love, live in Vancouver, BC, please alert them of this opportunity to be heard. It is rather important, just now.

Every cat wants to get in on the action. Harp is where it's at.

Anyway, people can do basic math; if you're saying we always have money for police and bombs for war, but no money for helping people survive, you're not actually pitching a platform very different than the folks you oppose. You gotta deliver more than "The same but with a few less slurs added".

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong. How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

This was not unpredicted.

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

There's nothing wrong with you. There's something wrong with the world. Keep being weird. Keep howling against the storm. Keep writing erotic stories about moon ghosts. Keep being a spark in the darkness, and hope for a better tomorrow.

Penzey's? Why pay that much? www.frontiercoop.com/herbs-and-teas

Being historically illiterate costs us a lot.

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

This is what AI is supposed to free up TO DO ‐ not replace artisans. Housing first works. UBI works. Social programs show tremendous results. Why do so many people always want to do away with social programs?

"Unitary Executive"; that's one heckuva euphemism for "King".

Let's try something new. If you donate to a food bank and tell me how much and which one, I'll match your donation. If it's less than $50, I'll round up. Tag me, reply here, or DM if you prefer. Why food banks? Because if we want to survive a general strike, we need to keep people fed.

What, the capitalists won't endorse the socialist, and nobody [else] seems to understand why?

Seems most Americans are =taught= that there are only ever two options. The sad part, to me, is that they believe it without question; give =me= 2 options and I'll point out a third. Give me 3, and I'll offer 4 & 5... "Stultifying creativity since 1792." We could do so much better.

This one goes out to all the people who said states will pick up the legislative/financial slack for disabled kids' education without DoEd 🤡 www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

The OCCUPY kids were right. I wish more folk would have listened.

Post your "Gay Card".

Me? Bitter? No. I'm downright alkyloid.

The Epstein files are not just about one man and it's not just pædophilia; Epstein was an international blackmailer. There likely exists data on an awful lot of oligarchs in there. They're not =just= protecting Trump. Betchya.

I'm old. I want my government issued cat.

Oh, good!

Incredible that people would rather live in a higher-crime surveillance state than invest in government services that benefit people they dislike.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

With a clamor of bells that set the swallows soaring, the Festival of Summer came to the city Omelas, bright-towered by the sea. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

Nice to see Colorado on there, too.

If you see this, share a pic from your device with no explanation.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

That long screaming sound was to remind you not to spend too much time on the internet — and that was for the better.

A lot of civilians have said it's a crime to summarily murder civilians, no matter what. It's called due process, and it's the law.

The key word which needs said in connection is =healthy= community. That takes everybody's effort. No, it isn't easy. Yes, it works. Communities (like families and "associations") can be healthy or toxic. Most are somewhere in between. Aiming them towards health =should= be everyone's goal.

"Governments never announce that they have become fascist. They announce that the antifascists are now the enemy of the state"

If there's someone doing work out there on the fringes that matters to you, please let them know, because this world is going to tell them the opposite every day.

Deboned a rotisserie chimken for dinner last night. Today I made stock with the bones and then chimken-potato-tarragon soup with some reserved meat. The tarragon was fresh from the garden. (Oh. My.)
