Another day, another demonstration of #Trump's worsening #dementia...

In today's episode, Trump became lost in a mental fog, and thought he saw #OJSimpson in the crowd at his rally. OJ Simpson is dead. The #Republicans should be very concerned about the fact that their candidate is apparently so deep in mental failure that he's seeing dead people.

Ok, I admit to having had some cannabis with my leftover pizza tonight, but I’m not even high yet, and first thing I see in Apple News in Daily Beast is Tucker Carlson telling Joe Rogan that Alex Jones (what a fucking trifecta of high rolling assholery) is a fucking psychic prophet who predicted 9/11 (he didn’t). I’ll never be able to afford whatever Tucker’s smoking.

I think he’s seen how well it’s working for Jones and is just copying his schtick, seeing just how stupid you can be and still have people throwing money at you. I mean Jones lost the suit but last I heard he hasn’t paid any of the judgment against him. Carlson’s become a disciple.

I like when people tell me they unfollowed me as if I’m a subscription service that's somehow losing money as a result.

Ouch. Another in a continuing saga of how getting old sucks. (Yes, I’m aware that in general it’s better than the alternative, but still.) I was sitting in my easy chair minding my own business, and pulled a muscle in my neck reaching up to scratch an itch on the back of my head. Not seriously, at least, but enough to warrant a couple ibuprofen and now maybe a heating pad when I finish typing this. 🤬

'A step back in time': America's Catholic Church sees immense shift twd the old ways

“Generations of Catholics who embraced modernizing tide sparked in 1960s by Vatican II are increasingly giving way to religious conservatives who believe church has been twisted by change…

..molded by plummeting church attendance…reshaped parishes across the country, leaving them at odds w Pope Francis and much of the Catholic world.”

@GottaLaff
My take is that they’re seeing how successful (in monetary and membership growth terms) all the various fundamentalist sects have been, and they’re missing out. Just as everywhere else, it’s all about the likes and especially the $. In scary times, certainty is comforting, change is not. They want to stop all this change stuff and keep things the way they were.

@APBBlue
I think it’s more like symbiosis with dogs, and parasitism with cats. Domestication to me is more related to things we cultivate in order to eat them, like chickens and cattle, and the various farmed plants.

Apparently it’s National Day. Here are two prickly pear flowers. June 2017

Closeup photo of a yellow prickly pear cactus flower. Taken in the Devils Backbone natural area in Larimer County, CO. The flower is flanked on either side by the paddle shaped cactus body, with spikes poking out. The park is named that because of its geological formation, a ridge of highly eroded sandstone sticking up from the surrounding high desert hills, giving the appearance of a string of vertebrae extending about a half mile just before you reach the Big Thompson Canyon that runs up the foothills from Loveland to Estes Park. June 2017.

ok look. I need you all to help me understand something. and you might need to find someone else near you to help.

This is a question specifically for the neurotypicals in the room. (which is why you my followers might need to find someone else to help)

when I say “they rolled their eyes”, does this statement imply eye motion like ↕️ or motion like 🔄

I’m team ↗️ or ↖️, sometimes just ⬆️. When I was a kid I played with 🔁 a lot for the kind of trippy effect I got. And then later when I actually was tripping I’d do 🔁 just to exaggerate the trippiness.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

Another coloradoan here, in Fort Collins.
Pros: blue island in a purple state, mostly temperate weather, lots of sunshine (avg 300+ sunny days/year) 30 min from RMNP, scenery/wildlife is 10-10, outdoor activities is 10/10, lots of parks & natural areas, college town.
Cons: diversity is 1/10, pop growth is rampant so prop values astronomical & rising, not particularly walkable unless you’re in town center.

Forgot to mention in pros: legal weed, proximity to decriminalized psilocybin (in Denver.)
