We are living in an age of denial. Denial of a genocide. Denial of an ongoing pandemic. Denial of a climate crisis.

Acknowledging reality is an act of rebellion.

I am very much in favor of billionaires undertaking wildly unsafe adventures so long as they are the only one's at risk

I think they should try their hands at canyon-leaping, hyena-whispering, boomslang petting, and the defusing of landmines and unexploded bombs.

Nikki Haley literally autographing artillery shells in Israel

Whatever one's feelings about what's happening over there, and however much one can rationalize away the "unfortunate reality of collateral damage," the sheer bloodthirst on display here should make anyone ill

A closeup of what Nikki Haley wrote on one of the missiles: FINISH THEM! AMERICAN ISRAEL ALWAYS Nikki Haley

Apropos “Where’s Melania”: Trump & his Slovenian escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I’m calling for Melania’s legal immigration papers. How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities, despite her blatant lie under oath about college degrees?

@StillIRise1963 Or Protest-vote for that matter. This is a triage situation. Stop the hemorrhaging first, then we can deal with the chronic sickness.

@StillIRise1963 ABSOLUTELY!!! Don't look at me, I vote for dog catcher, school boards, every election no matter how small. The viciously crazy types work their way into the system by going after those small elections that no one pays attention to. Sort of like getting termites only more destructive.

Texas disappears more people in long-term solitary cells than all other states and the federal system combined. Today, we share the voices of prisoners within this hidden world: https://texasobserver.org/texans-trapped-in-solitary-confinement/

The US is legally bound to support Israel, and I agree that this administration needs to do far more to stop the wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people. So by all means, protest loudly, make your objections heard, demand better.
But please don't forget...
If the Democrats lose in November this is the kind of person that Republicans consider "too moderate"
Do with that what you will.

The gym is definitely the place I consistently get the most puzzled/mocking looks for wearing a mask, but since most of the people I know who said things in 2020 like "I don't need a vaccine, I have an immune system" were also ostensibly the health and fitness crowd...

Study shows enforced on long prevents transmission https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240528/Study-shows-enforced-masking-on-long-flights-prevents-SARS-CoV-2-transmission.aspx “Overall, the study found that flight duration was a factor in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within the aircraft in flights with non-enforced masking. In contrast, long-haul flights with enforced masking had no reports of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within the aircraft despite serving meals. (1/2)

Both homes are $2,400 per month:

In 2021, at a 3.35% interest rate: $700,000 home

In 2024, at a 7.22% interest rate: $450,000 home

Crazy.

I'm sure everything being completely fucked by shitty people is just a phase and that outlawing rational people being pissed about it in public will fix a lot of it.

Like @StillIRise1963, at some point, I became self-aware that I could be Bad Person, and made a conscious choice to try to not be.

Like @AnarchoNinaWrites, J can get into the headspace of the Bad People. It’s a hidden superpower.

Now, I just need to figure out who will pay me large sums of money for these…skills.
