Carl Sagan kind

Mostly politics and science, some randoms. Hey what kind of a liberal are you? A left leaning independent. Carl Sagan kind. Evidence based, full stop.
Occasionally I'll see what's trending and when I saw Robert Redford I thought 'oh no'. And indeed an icon of the acting world has passed. I recall as a kid seeing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in a movie theater. All the President's Men on Tv. The wonderful cynical All the pres men on tv.

Ok There are so many members of trump co. that need to be outsted, but I would start, besides trump itself, with RFK jr. Sending science back 1000 yrs.

The birth of Heavy Metal was Black Sabbath. Ozzy was integral to that. A talent has passed. I'm actually amazed he made it to as long as he did given his ways.

In a surprise move, enough Republicans vote no to even bring the Big Bullshit Bill to the floor. Mike (I monitor my son's porn) Johnson has his head spinning. They plan on going all night to twist the arms of these Republicans because if the bill fails, Daddy will be mad and sic his nutjobs on them.

Let's introduce female bull jumping, taking place over a 1000 yrs ago, in the Crete-Minoan culture. Yes, women have been athletic for a very long time. The human race wouldn't have survived otherwise.

Well, this just happened: The 14th amendment has just been nullified by the Supreme Court:

Supreme Court curbs injunctions that blocked Trump's birthright citizenship plan
The Trump administration wants to end automatic birthright citizenship as enshrined in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Disabled protesters are being zip tied. One has to ask, even if you're a dufus trump supporter, can they come after you? This is authoritarianism, this is what it looks like. If they can do this to them...they can do it to your parents, your kid. Even you.

Light post. Do you ever mix up actors that have a similar appearance?

Kathy Bates, Louise Fletcher and Ellen Burstyn.

When your poll numbers are tanking, what's the best way to get them back up? War. War sells. That's why the dufus in chief did this.

This is nothing new. This has been going on since at least the 60s. Trump is trying really hard to declare martial law so the last vestiges of democracy fall. Don't fall for it. If someone tries to convince you that violence is the way-that's the narc. Separate and document. Godspeed to all of us.

For those of you who plan to go to June 14th No Kings protests, understand this. Sources say we will be infiltrated by trumps informal army: Proud Boys, 3%s, etc. The plan should be obvious-they will be the one lighting up cars, breaking windows, committing violence.

So, you know that 700 marines trump wants to send. The bill will come to 134 million and counting. There were approx 300 protesters at the height. LA county has 88 cities, the majority with their own police force. Need more assistance-California Highway Patrol. Marines not needed and indeed illegal.

Ever wonder where your clothes go that are donated? They may very well wind up in Ghana. Because of fast fashion, more clothing is manufactured than ever before and because of low quality tossed more than ever before. Warning: depressing images of cows eating fabric:

For decades, the West's unwanted fashion has made its way to used-clothing markets in Africa. Now it's fuelling an environmental catastrophe.

2) So, to save face they're now in talks to transfer the plane as a gift. He blackmailed them. And guess what, they won't be air force one ready until-2yrs. The retrofitting will make the plane cost close to a billion, far above what we could've got from boeing. He's cutting waste isn't he.

1) So it turns out the narrative of Qatar gifting a plane for donny is not so accurate. Boeing said they won't have a replacement for air force one until 2yrs. donny couldn't wait. So the pentagon was going to buy or lease the Qatari plane until donny backed them into a corner by saying 'gift'.

2) It's revoked for 350,000 Venezuelans. The ones in south Florida are crying now. There is a real possibility many of them will be tortured and/or sent to death. Maduro is a full on dictator (who did not win the election).

Meanwhile, trump is fast tracking refugee status for WHITE south africans.
May 20, 2025 at 11:55 AM
1) So Venezuelans who supported trump are getting the rudest of awakenings. trump said their status is safe and like idiots who haven't been paying attention to last ten years believed him. trump went to his slaves, er buddies, on the supreme court to make sure that temp protected status is revoked.

I just want to say, in my small still voice-thank you Canada for staying sane. We are now boxed in with two countries who get it. Maybe in 2026, if fElon doesn't corrupt, we may follow.

Any particular distant food memory that gives you dreams? When I was a kid on 3rd floor of a dept. store in a big city mom went shopping handing a $5 bill. Off to the lunch counter while the 20ish skeptical lady looked at me I ordered a hot dog with mustard and onions on wax paper. Best ever dog.
