Nice to see Gallup also kneeling before Caesar. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

"If you have nothing to hide, why would you be afraid of an unaccountable, violent paramilitary force asking for your papers at the polls?"

H: why do girl scout cookies taste so good? Me: must be the girls empowerment.

MAGA: WE CAN’T UNDERSTAND BAD BUNNY also MAGA: Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie

Hearing this Canadian commentator makes me want to move to Canada for the accent too

Hot take: ice is for hockey and skating really fast in circles.

Why is Kid Rock doing the Trump halftime show? “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em underage, see. Some say that’s statutory But I say it’s mandatory” Oh. That’s why.

I would have thought Finland would have had a better women’s hockey team

While I’m certainly not comprehensively read in the psychological encyclopedia, I had never learned anything about Karen Horney (horn-eye) until recently, which is a shame because she was brilliant.

Hearing of businesses refusing service to ICE sparks joy

Cuck Schumer strikes again

Come on @schumer.senate.gov have some guts.

people often say not to let partisan politics ruin relationships. And I agree. But MAGA isn't a partisan political thing. Those people I had relationships with who have gone over to MAGA have fundamentally different morals, values, ethics, and understanding of human rights than I do.

A few households in our community are moving abroad to leave the current regime. I don't blame them a bit, and it brings more grief that my previous attempts to move overseas have all been thwarted.

my son has been watching science education videos and we had a nice discussion about climate change on the way to school in such a way that we don't panic about it, but we take it seriously and work hard--together--to make things better.

STORM ALERT: This is my watercolor print We Grew Through Storms. I love watching storms, but I don't love being in the middle of them. Like many of us are right now. We can never predict how we are going to fare. But looking back we can say we've grown. So my hope is we will become better.

"No room at the inn tells us that this Christ is going to be the one for all for whom there is no room". If you enjoy my #LectionaryPrayers- a bonus #Christmas sermon! Ideas for Christmas preachers, and an insight for anyone who wonders why Christians bother with those odd Christmas stories!

I had to change a battery and it was one of those button cells that despite having loads of them you never have the specific one you need. But, reader, today I had the right one!!

Strengths: works well under pressure Weaknesses: doesn’t work otherwise

Our son would have starved to death if we continued to try to breastfeed. Formula saved his life.

Happy St Nick’s Day Where my kids get chocolate And perhaps something to prepare for Xmas that they need (movie, puzzle, craft) Wayyy better than elf on the shelf if you are looking for a tradition

A few years ago I almost moved to Europe. The fact that I didn’t was a great disappointment to me. And now the fact that we are governed by a moronic malignant narcissist has made it exponentially worse.

I think more boomers should thank us for supporting them since we’ll be lucky to get half of what we should have gotten from social security.

Whaaaaaaat? Pete Hegseth is a war criminal? Who could have seen this coming? I mean, anyone from 500 miles away who also has severe myopia.

Over on threads there’s someone with a bachelor’s degree who had taken at least a class or two in psychology trying to argue with me to make a point. And he gives the evidence of a Wikipedia article.

I really miss the 90s

did COVID accelerate burnout for anyone else or is it just me?

I’ve found that if I don’t stop, I don’t have time to feel dead inside. So, as long as I keep working nonstop, things will be okay, right?

Today’s hot take: I think the MBTI is worthwhile and does not deserve all the hate it gets.

I often wish my predecessors didn’t have such great executive functioning.

I’ve thought that I have hit the depths of burnout but just when you think you hit the bottom, you near a knock from below you.

Totally forgot it’s ADHD awareness month. Somehow that seems like it checks out.

I was opposed to ABS in MLB, but after watching this umpire who is clearly a cubs fan, I’m warming to the idea

Pacifism’s a very difficult concept in the Gospels But Hegseth calling it wholly naïve, ignoble, and unwise reveals a Christian faith used to justify, rather than challenge, our basest instincts

Hegseth has some real SDE

I love the news that Canadians are avoiding American goods. Keep it up. Crash our economy. I’m being serious. This is the only way we will learn anything.

I got an email advertising an ADHD Certification. My friend, I have it naturally. I don't need a certification to get ADHD.

My friend’s autistic friend said: “'I'd like to let you all know that I now consider autistic a slur, and I want to be known as a Tylenol-American.’”

I was really REALLY hoping we’d be free of the evangelicals by now.

Someone really needs to share who discovered time travel to give pregnant mothers Tylenol decades before it was invented. The low key time travel is real is the ACTUAL news.

(Autism existed before Tylenol)

Im really hoping the evangelicals get raptured tomorrow.

Reset the blasphemy/heresy counter

National anthems are the idolatrous hymns of choice for the Empire church. And the Empire church is the opposite direction of following Jesus.

Hey Charlie Kirk wasn’t a Christian martyr. He was a right wing blowhard who did a lot of damage who was killed. Now, move on.

You don't get to decry a lack of empathy when the person you idolized literally despised the concept.

I’ve got an essay in this volume, but even more importantly are the many brilliant minds who have contributions here.

This is the country the right wing created. The chickens have come home to roost.
