Believing that all people should be treated with kindness and respect (regardless of their nationality, skin color, monetary status, health, etc) should not be considered an extremist viewpoint.

Being opposed to that, however, should be.

So true - I’ve been trying for many years to like Ursula K LeGuin’s books and I just…can’t get into it. I don’t know what it is, I like her ideas, I just don’t like the actual writing. But I want to.

Being a responsible adult is so overrated.

Anyone who shows up at my door tonight, in costume, gets candy; kids, teens, parents, I don’t care - you’re out having fun and I already bought the stuff, have at it.

He did, but he didn’t say this quote. Best I can tell, it came from comedian John Fugelsang during a TV segment in May 2013.

FYI, the process of switching from an iTunes-based subscription to Dropout web-based was a little painful (had a few minutes last night after the iTunes one ended before we could add the web one), but overall went pretty well.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

It should be “last” instead of “not”.

Reminds me of high school in the ‘90s.

I’m seeing a worrying trend today where people are posting memes where the punchline is simply that someone (Trump, or Mike Johnson, etc) is gay, that’s it. The only way to interpret the meme as joke is to view homosexuality and homosexual acts as bad. It’s giving… “punching down down”.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Are you talking about the “LIVE WEAPONS OVER FREEWAY” sign? If so, it wasn’t static, it flipped between that and a notice that I-5 was closed and when/where. This just explaining why.

Can’t make it to the No Kings protest today, unfortunately. But I’m there in spirit. And by marriage (since my wife was able to make it). #NoKings #WeThePeople #Resist
