Remember when DC was crime infested?

Tonights entertainment. Godzilla vs Megalon with a few shots of Kraken Run.

Adding a but more angst to my day as I have Powaqqatsi playing on the TV in the background.

@blackpastonline.bsky.social I just discovered Black Past and that the founder Dr Taylor recently passed away. Hopefully his great work and efforts will continue to on through the organization.

Dr Taylor passed away. His work is invaluable to African American history.

Guess it's time for him to lockup all WWII veterans who fought against the fascists. #antifa #wwii #veterans

Someone should make a movie with Steamboat Willie that reflects the current situation going on with Disney and the Trump admin.

U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson voted against honoring “the life & legacy” of Charlie Kirk on Friday, saying that the conservative activist “resurrected dangerous prejudices of a dark past." “The fact is Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric was divisive, disparaging, & too often rooted in grievance,” he said.

Would Walter Cronkite, Roger Mudd, Harry Reasoner, Dan Rather, and John Chancellor have reported differently about the state of the world today than contemporary journalist/reporters?

We must coordinate mass action to counter the fossil fuel lobby.

Here are just a few of the 500+ books in my library. Most are of social justice, fascism, WWII, climate change, racism and other matters that we currently see Trump and the admin encroaching upon. We know so much about the past and now we are facing it again. How have we got to this point again?

Here's my solution to avoiding network TV and streaming services. I haven't ever subscribed to a streaming service such as Netflix or Paramount. Other than MeTV and PBS, I don't usually watch network TV. Don't give up on physical media.

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

How long before there's polio cases in Florida?

MAGA: Mulch America's Gardens Again.

According to the GOP public transit in NYC is unsafe with muggers, druggies and murderers? Then why is Mamdani having people who are participating in his #ZcavengerHunt take public transit? But, what do I know since I live in Idaho. 😉

For years the Right screamed about protecting their 2A rights and amassed large collections of guns to fight government tyranny. Now they are no where in sight to fight the government as it invaded cities and torments the public.

The greatest threat to our nation is not immigrants but the politicians and the rich who are destroying our nation while distracting everyone by saying the immigrants are the problem.

Many so called Christians will be going to church today as cover for their fascist leaning during the week.

Apple's Tim Cook gave Trump a 24K gold participation trophy.

@theteflondon.bsky.social Hey Don, I lost contact with you when I left Facebook. How are you doing? Your profile says you're in southern Oregon. Where are you at?

EPA’s chief saboteur, Lee Zeldin, announces plan to delete climate science

If all the self storage units in the US were squeezed into a single 10 foot wide unit it would be over 32,000 miles long. Imagine all of resources involved in producing the stuff stored in it.

In about 1996 my grandfather sat me down and told me that I wasn't going to inherit anything from him because I had dated a POC 6 yrs prior and was friends with gay people. He was born in 1910 and wasn't rich but had owned a few properties in an area that was very poor. 1/x

South Park's new PSA for Trump. 😂 youtu.be/Afetnw70S04?...

My response to people who claim the climate has always changed. "True, and everytime the climate has changed there has been mass extinctions and extreme hardship upon the planet. How are you preparing for it?"

I want to offer early thoughts and prayers to those who will suffer from the upcoming tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, floods and other events. Anything else such as warning systems, preventative measures, emergency response, financial assistance and more would be a waste of public tax dollars.

Scalise: "The 35-year-old who's sitting in his mom's basement playing video games is gonna have to go get a job again."

FUCK TRUMP AND THE GOP!

History has shown that the elites will encroach upon the poor and downtrodden to expand their fiefdom and then act as if they are the victim when criticized. The elites are the ones controlling the policies, practices and cultural ways that allow it. We must stop enabling the rich.

These things are supposed to be reusable. Clearly NASA needs to reconsider using SpaceX. Our space industry deserves better. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

I am nearly done using Tiktok. The false news, false death notices and bullshit that's posted on there is frustrating. The Internet was once a place of integrity and most apps have caused it to become a cesspool. MIGA (Make the Internet Great Again)

TRUMP IS A DOUCHBAG! (I bit my tongue too long and had to let it out)

Time for a national strike.

The Weather and Climate 100 Hour Livestream is underway. Take some time to sit in and watch/listen to great presentations. www.youtube.com/live/7rG4ePB...

We need to grow more public awareness of the various clean/renewable energy associations.

Today's reading material. A People's History of the United States @zinndigital.bsky.social and On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Re-upping this for no particular reason

By day, I’m running for Congress. By night, I wait tables. I know what working-class Wisconsinites are up against — and I’m tired of us being ignored in D.C. That’s why I’m in this fight. Can you repost, follow, and help me defeat Derrick Van Orden?

CO2, Methane, and nitrous oxide react to infrared heat waves in a similar fashion as water molecules do to microwaves in an oven. Would that mean climate deniers are also microwave oven deniers?

I got lucky and tuned into MeTV tonight with the pilot episode "The Informer" of Hogan's Heroes airing. I have seen it a few times but am always excited to see it again.

I need to find a replacement for Marketplace so I can escape the Meta sphere. Craigslist is crap as well as most other classified sites.

Trump comes across as the classic abuser. He imposes harmful policies then gaslights those harmed and says that in the end everything will be better than before.

One of my favorite episodes of All In The Family. Sammy Davis Jr was great.

Watching "The Stuff", a B rated movie, with Garrett Morris, Paul Sorvino, and Danny Aiello. I saw it when it came out and always remembered Chocolate Chip Charley. Who else has seen this movie?

Picked up these two books today at the thrift store. Saving us by Katharine Hayhoe @katharinehayhoe.com and Kids Say the Darndest Things. I thought I would need a few laughs after reading Saving Us.

I had been admiring this beauty of a Olympia DeLuxe SM9 for a few weeks at the thrift store but wasn't willing to pay $128 for it. I went back today to see if it had been discounted but I only found the case with the typewriter missing. 1/x
