Endorse! Endorse! Wholeheartedly endorse!

Power to the one who doesn't want it!

Could I but ride indefinite, As doth the meadow-bee, And visit only where I liked, And no man visit me, And flirt all day with buttercups, And marry whom I may, And dwell a little everywhere, Or better, run away -- Emily Dickinson #Photography #ImageAndVerse #ClassicMono #BNWmacro #EastCoastKin

While I'm not wholly on board with the war on Christmas, we do have to deal with its unlawful occupation of November.

Math is hard

Wow. All it took was the Graatest Generation to die off and the Nazis are back out of the woodwork

No way are immigrants 100M. That's HALF OF ADULTS here.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Oops, this is because I follow you. I read the convo out of order. In proper context you're even more obviously correct than I realized. Leaving my post up for the reference to history professors walking around growling under their breath on Jan 30.

🔥 @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

If you truly worry we're headed for fascism, then watch the 1969 movie "Z", a barely-veiled retelling of the 1963 assassination of Greek politician Lambrakis, made two years after the junta took power. It was on TCM last night, but I saw it as a kid after being in Greece in that time. /1

We are not even *close* to that. And if people keep showing up to vote the way they did on Tuesday, we never will be. /4x

This is a lovely piece of verse but the best thing about it is that it was posted by Bill Kristol

You can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, but you can’t get them to convict one!

I think - I think I would endorse this, actually. But who would be in charge of the course? Is easy to imagine some public sector info providers who, um, might not be reliable.

I seriously had to check to see if this was NYT or Pitchbot...

I too choose to believe the parents. No soap, reasonable water temperature, quick removal from chlorinated to dechlorinated water. And goldfish are tough.

I've come to believe the main thing that separates extremists of both the left and right from moderates of each is they believe the world is much less complicated than it is.

I have long believed that surface parking lots should be covered by solar panels. Failing that, they should at least be covered by vine-covered pergolas. But solar panels would be better.

Sure does seem as if this requirement was put into place to prevent grocery stores from charging MORE to SNAP recipients because the costs were being passed on to the govt. I wonder if there is a regulation or law that might spell this out in better detail?

Happy #Halloween! A few years ago, midwives at the Royal Oldham Hospital in Lancashire created "dilation pumpkins" - and I don't think I've ever seen anything scarier in my life.* 😂😩 *Posted with apologies to anyone who is pregnant.

Make previously wiped out childhood diseases great again

A very important Halloween message

The hostility the state has for children... This sounds very on-point

"Never get involved in a beef w/ the menswear guy"

I hadn't heard "problematic bunny ears" before & I'm glad I have now. I shall have to consult the 15yr-old.

OMG this! I endorse this sentiment forever.

It is amazing to me how much this sounds like Austin Texas

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

What a terrific unexpected boon for the inflatable costume industry

This suddenly reminds me of an old Betty White skit I saw posted here, where she thinks the robber is trying to put his gun into the main hotel safe because it won't fit into the little safe in the room. I wish I could believe this were a intentional as that skit.

I think I'm going to have to steal this one & post it on the wall of my office.

Yeah, I don't mean this in a snarky way, but I don't understand why people are struggling with this one so much. Destroying things is so easy, I routinely do it by accident. My cat does it. Weather and time do it. It's creation that's hard.

I would like to issue a shoutout to all Needless Nitpicking Nerds - may they continue to enlighten us & enrich or lives.

This post made me realize way too late that "nuclear" in nuclear family does not refer to atomic bombs.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Of course you make a vital distinction. Thus, the game is on: we have a fascist leader who has not yet succeeded at imposing a fascist system top to bottom. Democratic means still exist to roll back the partial slide towards fascism. Midterms. Courts. State-level action. Consumer activism. Fight!

- Oh no, a shark attack -That's definitely a shark but it isn't attacking yet, so we should remain calm and get everyone out of the water - So you think sharks don't exist, is that it?

Is Walgreens on here at Bluesky? They really, really need to fix their interactive telephone answering menu.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

True love.

Engine I entirely agree that this should have been the norm & was given lip service as the norm, I do, regretfully, feel a strong need to bring the Dixie Chicks into this discussion.

He probably needs extra money to pay for his family’s security with All these right wing extremists running around and trump cutting secret service protections for his political adversaries.
