Hi @UncleGooberleg

Are you impersonating Fani Willis for any particular reason? -- or?

IDK. I don't think anyone on the fedi will be fooled and it's kind of amusing just around here... but screenshots have a way of creeping out all over the internet.

Particularly when it's a person who isn't exactly super famous like a judge who is only now getting national attention.

The *real Fani Willis, JUNIOR doesn’t mind. I checked. Thanks for asking.

All these red states are now boasting about how they are withdrawing from the American Library Association. They aren’t just satisfied with banning books, they want to get rid of the places that keep and lend them, too. The Christian Right is on the march.

Carl Sagan once warned us of the “dumbing down” of America. He warned of a time when our “critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...”

That time is upon us. We must do all we can to prevent that darkness from taking hold.

UncleGooberleg,

@georgetakei

And yet the left continue to refrain from shaming this shameful behavior. Ridicule is among the more effective ways to affect the behavior of the ridiculous, yet ridiculing is largely off limits as a tool for change. We will civility ourselves right out of existence.

A brother lost his home to Andrew. The experience drove him and his San Diego. He’s upbeat, as one thing he’s confident of there in SoCal is the insects that follow won’t be near as bad. “Nightmarish bugs,” he’s said many times.

I remember the 2000 Election. There were enough votes for Ralph Nader to hand the election to George W. Bush.

I remember the 2016 Election. There were enough votes for Jill Stein to hand the election to Donald Trump.

In 2024 the Green Party is running Cornell West. Let’s not repeat this history, friends

Your vote is not a marriage. You’re not choosing a life partner. It’s a chess move for what’s best for the country and the world.

A public official in northern Wisconsin called a 13-year-old boy a homophobic slur during a public meeting.

The local paper @wausaupilot reported on it.

And the guy filed a baseless garbage defamation lawsuit that is costing the paper so much it might go out of business.

    A public official in northern Wisconsin reportedly called a 13-year-old boy a homophobic slur during a public meeting, in front of numerous witnesses, three of whom have submitted sworn statements that he said it.

    A billion dollars is an obscene amount of money that one does not acquire without causing significant harm to people and planet. Billionaires should not exist.

    Watching that behavior is my favorite part. It’s been the source of a couple of burst eardrums and countless ruptured eyeball blood vessels. Both are stifle-worthy laughter’s small price.

    Fellow editing and proofreading freelancers, now that summer is nearly upon us, do you have a hankering to leave your home office for a few hours and take advantage of the gorgeous weather while working? And more to the point ... how exactly does one work outside successfully? My brand-new blog post explores that very question: "Can You Edit and Proofread Outside?"
