I'm going to say this once. If I just followed you back, we've never interacted, and the first thing you do is message me, you will be blocked.

I don’t always agree with McLaughlin and have not forgotten his time with the Pallister govt, but I do agree with what he says here, and he now has me angrily reading the report by the MB Ethics Commissioner…

Extremely minor point but it's always pissed me off how these dipshits say An-TEE-fer

It's anti-fascist. Anti. Fah. You had a whole report about how antifascists opposed Hitler and are now opposing you.

You going to take some anTEEvirals are ya? Going to AunTEE Anne's for some pretzels?

A therapeutic night
In a room full of people
Singing

Stay in the Light
Keep your target in sight
Don't listen to
Fools on the run

People often talk about the challenges of raising kids & how much work it is.

It is all that, & their adorableness often gets you through it, but not enough is said about how wonderful it is when they become adults & your friends.

Just had one of the most rewarding conversations of my life. ❤️

I concur. Saw it in Manitoba a couple of hours ago. It looked like an orange.

Oh my goodness everybody if you have not gone outside, go now and look at the Moon! I have never seen anything like it in my life! I know we're all in different regions but here in California it is appearing to be super low and it is huge and glowing a golden orange color!

18. Manipulating the president only gets Miller and the rest of the regime so far. If they are going to take control of the republic, which is their objective, they must convince the American people there’s no use in fighting back – that resistance is futile. And they are going to do that by lying.

I saw it tonight as well and same. Was cursing I couldn't pull over for a shot. Incredible.

Everything that comes out of his mouth beggars belief. The Tylenol thing is so out there though, there has to be a grift in it somehow, somewhere.

Here’s a typical bundle of file papers from the Boston Municipal Court archives. It probably hasn’t been unwrapped since it was docketed in 1822. The organization of the sub-layers is significant, & I always photograph bundles so that I can put them back together as I found them. I love this work! 🗃️

Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc), 1921, by Céline Lepage (1882–1928), chryselephantine, bronze with golden patina on a marble base, 48.5 cm, collection of RAW Modern. #arthistory #womenartists #womanartist #Art

From Art UK: “Joan of Arc was a significant figure in fifteenth-century French history for claiming divine visions guiding her to save France and the reign of Charles VII at Reims during the Hundred Years’ War. The artist portrays Joan of Arc in chryselephantine – a technique blending gold and ivory – highly esteemed in ancient Greece and often used to represent deities and significant religious figures. This choice not only aligns with Jeanne d’Arc’s symbolism but also elevates her to a divine status, emphasising the significance of the medium over Lepage’s usual preference for bronze. Thus, the sculpture embodies themes of courage, and faith, symbolising bravery, devotion, and nationalism. The depiction of Jeanne wielding a sword accentuates her revered status, akin to a deity.“
