P.s. I'm working today & tomorrow + mandatory 4 hrs OT. Why? Because my job&many others were outsourced in 2025, so I had to start over at 64. Half the pay, same bills. No turkey for me today. No family & friends gathering.
Still grateful. To all those in the same boat, stay strong. Stay grateful!

Happy Thanksgiving. On a day we know isn't based on truth. We know the truths of this day. We know what we shouldn't be celebrating regarding this tradition. So, we focus on the good. Family n friends, gathering, loving each other, laughing & doing all the good we can for each other and our world.

So a VA high school football coach goes “missing” right as he’s under investigation for child pornography.
Yeah… doesn’t look like he wants to be found.
And let’s be honest — this feels awfully familiar coming from the same crowd that loves to scream about “protecting kids.”

The 2020 Georgia election case is going to be dismissed in its entirety, with the prosecutor offering less-than-persuasive reasoning. A miscarriage of justice that weakens our democracy.

Yep. Agreed. I posted about bluesky needing this as soon as I saw that story. I'm sure many of us would like the same here on BlueSky.
The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts.
I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

Devastated by the National Guard shooting. Let's remember: the shooter was granted asylum by Trump then scapegoated. We need accountability, real gun safety and leaders who choose compassion over fear and xenophobia. #NationalGuardShooting

Lost in the media frenzy over this horrible shooting are these obvious questions: what are National Guard members from West Virginia doing in Washington DC? What is their mission? What metrics will determine when it is accomplished? Didn’t the court already rule their presence illegal?
