The Cynics had five core principles:
1. Ἀρετή (Aretē) – Virtue as the Only Good
2. Αὐτάρκεια (Autarkeia) – Self-Sufficiency
3. Παραρρησία (Parrēsia) – Frank Speech
4. Ἀναίδεια (Anaideia) – Shamelessness
5. Κατὰ φύσιν ζῆν (Kata physin zēn) – Living According to Nature
These are the Way of the Dog.

You say, "this is a performative fool's errand; it will not pass."
I say, maybe not, but think about the evidence it will produce for the tribunals.
This is why we need Articles of Impeachment on record, even if it turns out they're "performative."

Facebook is one of the most difficult platforms for people to leave, but I did it about a year ago and you can too. It's never too late to delete your Meta accounts.
OK, I’m all in here now. I left the accounts up for the moment on Insty and Threads, but this is the full-on Elonification of META, and I’m outta there. www.pbs.org/newshour/eco...
Former Trump adviser Dina Powell McCormick named Meta president and vice chairman
Powell McCormick previously served on Meta's board of directors — where, the company notes, she was “deeply engaged” in accelerating its artificial intelligence push across platforms.

Pshew, sometimes the shittiest people in the world DO suffer consequences for idiocy (trying to cure cancer with ivermectin is stupid, Dilbert guy). Nice to be tossed a bone every now again by an otherwise uncaring and ceaselessly churning malevolent universe.

NEW: GoFundMe strictly bans fundraisers for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes,” yet is currently running one “to help pay for any legal services” for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good. Its conflict is not even the least bit contestable.
GoFundMe Ignores Own Rules by Hosting a Legal-Defense Fund for the ICE Agent Who Killed Renee Good
The fundraiser for the ICE agent in the Renee Good killing has stayed online in seeming breach of GoFundMe’s own terms of service, prompting questions about selective enforcement.

All of these phone videos of ICE from Minnesota are terrifying, but also SO SO inspiring because so many average people are standing up for their neighbors.
I sometimes get stuck on "What would *I* do," but y'all Minnesotans remind me that it's never going to be just "I"-- it's going to be "WE."

I joined today’s ICE Out vigil to grieve for Renee Nicole Good & the many others who have lost their lives to ICE. To mourn. And to organize too.
To everyone who makes Seattle home: this is your city, and you belong here. You deserve to be safe here. And together, we’ll fight to make it so.

The old grimoires are full of actual recipe. For instance, in the Papyri Graecae Magicae, the spell called “Ritual to Open the Door of Hawk-headed Abenetho, Walker of Thresholds” is a coded recipe for the most incredible cinnamon rolls. Like, melt in your mouth. That’s why I study magic.

Every court win should be celebrated. I see a lot of “oh, SCOTUS will overturn it.” Maybe, but people need to know that legal wins are still possible. The worst case scenarios are still by no means inevitable.

I find it so weird that almost all home maintenance/repair/etc services, from pest control to chimney cleaning to painting to appliance repair, are strange conglomerate franchise systems now. It's like the Pluribus hivemind took over every home-related industry and it's deeply unsettling.
