Our town just had a “bring your junk for disposal” day. We had a dead microwave to get rid of. We were crying as I drove away, cuz we realized 90% of the people there doing the work — carrying it for me even — were “brown” in our lily white town. WTAF is wrong with all our hatred???

Interesting read. Gift article. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

I hate this man. Everyday there are a dozen more reasons. He attacks everything that is good, decent & eight in the world. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/u...

Once again, twice today. If people post , but block many/most from commenting, they get an automatic block. Ridiculous. What are you afraid of?

Ugh. I always appreciate listening to Heather Cox Richardson. But damn, I found that depressing today. Did anyone hear any glimmers of hope before I dive off a cliff.

TBT. Gift last year from a dear friend. It has been put to good use. One thing little don is fully qualified to do.

Disgusting. Please tax the super rich. Either that or the people will eventually eat them. Rightfully so. gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...

Gift article. Another repugnican scheme that would lower taxes on stock owners, increase the deficit, but do NOTHING to help average Americans with affordability. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Gift article. Yet another example why it’s beneficial to society to tackle the problem of wealth inequality. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/u...

Thank you, donny. Are we great again yet? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/b...

DeSantis is an idiot. Hopefully he effs around and finds out. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Happy Earth Day!

More earthly beauty and magnificence. Oysters are such remarkable — and tasty — creatures. We used to live on the Great Bay in NH. Wonderful memories. Interesting, short video. www.wmur.com/article/chro...

Fuck little donald. No offense to those who find comfort in faith. But trump reciting bible verses makes me want to vomit. Hopefully the earth will open up and swallow him. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/u...

TBT, a little reminder of the natural beauty around us. We are just little fleas. The earth will eventually be rid of us, one way or another. Maybe the evolutionary process will iron out some kinks next time.

What a POS, apnews.com/live/iran-wa...

Let’s hope little donald just declares victory…tells us the Strait is open (it won’t be)…and posts a picture of himself next to a gas pump with a price of $1.99 (even though it won't be). Let him pretend he won, the fucking loser!

Good episode of Odd Lots. AI interview with Gina Raimondo, former Commerce Secretary (among other things). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

While our government has turned to destruction, individual people and groups continue to create so much that is GOOD. Read about Chefs on the Spectrum. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/d...

This is where I spent the last two days, sharing my love and knowledge of ancient indigenous societies. Of course, I use the opportunity to reference our current “challenges”, as well. If you’re ever in Sedona, this is a great site to visit. www.fs.usda.gov/r03/coconino...

Trump is completely and utterly unhinged. Take more money from the people. Spend $1.5 trillion on more illegal wars. Repubs in Congress, STEP THE FUCK UP! Gift article. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

TBT. A lot of beauty in this world, which gives me hope. Bog-walking in Estonia.

This is a beautiful piece that brought tears to my eyes. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/o...

Really glad we got to spend a couple weeks in Cuba when our gov’t briefly allowed us to visit. I thought we lived in a “free country”.

Pet peeve. If you are going to disallow me from commenting on your post, then I block you. Seriously, you need to disenfranchise people just because you don’t follow each other yet? That ain’t encouraging dialogue. Seems more like something the repubs in Congress would do.

A year in prison for needing to pee. My wife better watch out. When one single-use room is designated male, the other female…she has utilized the male’s, instead of waiting behind a line of compliant females, who won’t “break the rule”. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

A very good piece on imigration. I will leave it at that. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

Trump is a traitor. Trump is a terrorist. Trump is a war criminal. Republicans in Congress are 100% complicit. The “Supreme” Court is complicit. MAGA is complicit. Anyone who still supports this is doubly complicit. They all deserve the MAXIMUM CRIMINAL PENALTIES.

TBT. A little more beauty in this crazy world. Despite the fact our temp was typically 60-90 this winter, we do typically get some decent snows. This year was a Climate Change collapse. View from my living room.

FAFO. Dems need to work on messaging. Trump was all BS bluster, people still bought it. Hammer economic fairness. Not ”affordability”. Fairness, Wealth gap. Healthcare. Living wage. A populist revolution. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/u...

Quite the “christian”. Evil…unqualified…fraud. A clear case of arrested developmemt. Speaking of “arrested”, let’s pray for the day he is.

If there is any justice left in the world, Bovino should NEVER have another moment’s peace in this world. May he eventually find the cell he so richly deserves. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

So, a lot of folks are having a tough time making ends meet. This is the other end of the spectrum. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/n...

TBT, from downtown Halifax. Wish I was there today for lunch at the Bicycle Thief.

Unfortunately, this is just as relevant today as it was then. Just change the name of the country we’re invading. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRl6...

I thought about being kind to MAGA today. Years of Fox and worshipping the orange blob has shriveled their IQs to nearly nothing. Their morality has shrunk even more. They don't care about raping kids. Bombing schoolgirls. Torturing immigrants. Shooting citizens. Kind? Eff that. Burn in Hell.

No republican in Congress should be elected again. They ceded power to an incompetent, narcissistic psychopath. They should all burn in hell with him. Word is Repubs don’t want to upset MAGA before the primaries. They have NO MORALS, NO SOULS. While they wait, our world is being destroyed.

Don’t be startin’ something you aren’t ready to finish. youtube.com/shorts/rXnGw...

Great. He makes up a new job for her. More good use of taxpayer money. Fuck trump. apnews.com/article/trum...

TBT Early September, an Oregon beach day. The fog did lift the next day. I have to believe better days are coming for us, as well.

Trump/Rubio’s other dirty little war. Destroying Cuba and the Cuban people. Favored oligarchs will undoubtedly profit in the end. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/w...

If the Trump Crime Family is so keen on regime change, may I suggest two others: Netanyahu and the rest of the war criminals ”leading” Israel. (Side note: It is well past time to pull the plug on unquestioned U.S. support and monetary aid.) Little donald & the entire Trump Crime Family.

Quote: President Donald Trump said on social media Saturday that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead, saying his passing is "the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country." Is this projection? www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

All hail Operation Epic Fury! Oops, one small change. Operation EPSTEIN Fury!

So, little donald bombs Iran and tells the people to eliminate the current leaders. If this was a movie, would NATO do something similar?

Here comes the Nobel Peace Prize, for sure. “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” The Orange Hitler is intent in destroying us all in one way or another. apnews.com/live/live-up...

The Epstein files matter little. MAGA has no morals when it comes to Trump or themselves. Anything goes. There is no convincing these magas. No saving them. And no saving America until we admit their total depravity. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
