I love him so much! My calico, Persephone (we call her Persie) she clucks when she's displeased at being picked up, and chirps when she's hopping up on furniture. Basically, she's part-bird.

Right? It's almost like they're not Strong Men at all, but a secret, second thing: insecure cowards who have to tear others down to feel big.

Have you ever just felt a wail of agony and rage rise up from the very pit of your belly until you're not sure if you need to scream or throw up or introduce some bastard's teeth to the floor?

Yeah. me too.

Mmm, I love Mussorgsky's work (but only after Rimsky-Korsakov made the theory make sense.)

Apropos of nothing, but in high school, I knew a kid who stuck his head (and arm) into the bell of his buddy's tuba and got his head stuck.

Twice.

Surprise surprise, I'm watching another video game stream. Resident Evil 2. I needed a relief from the dystopia that is reality with something a little... cozier. And what's cozier than zombies?

The world's greatest blep.

Look at that orange baby! What's their name?

So let me see if I've got this. You're looking for people who broke immigration law. Not based on skin color.

But you're detaining mostly people with brown skin who don't have a criminal record.

A large percentage of whom didn't even violate immigration law.

Nope, not suspicious at all, folks.

I agree. Brute force works for some things, but it takes consciousness, intention, honesty (with yourself and with the situation) to really make an impact. It takes knowledge, patience and courage.

Same as with everything else, I guess.

Every Black woman I know is consciously composed, intelligent, bold and empathetic. They know how hostile the white world is. Even if all we're doing is valuing our own comfort.

I can think of no one that deserves to be "humbled" less than someone already dignified from the bottom of a boot.

Honestly, gay little nerds are a TREASURE TROVE of hyper-specific information on any subject that they're passionate about. Always ask gay little nerds over ChatGPT.

Hell. Ask your toilet paper before you ask ChatGPT. At least it's clear about the shit it's giving you.

They cover it up because White Supremacy, because the legacy of slavery, of Black and Brown people as subhuman, is the cornerstone of the authoritarian regime they're now pedaling.

We're not 1930s Germany. We're just the new evolution of what America has always been for non-White people.

Absolutely. Not to mention, in a place that seasonally gets weather colder than that, they definitely have the infrastructure in place to handle the snow, and the wind, and the temperatures. To this dude, it's the snowpocalypse. To Nuuk, it's a good opportunity to do chores outside.

I live just above the 45th parallel, and I was expecting him to say that he was like, -15* F or something. I just... I just... *sigh*

It gets to 15* F HERE in the winter, Cindy. I'm sure Greenland is cold, it's just that... that's probably warm for local weather. And certainly for a Canadian.

I offer a potential mountain of comfy blankets to share if I get to come. I just don’t wanna get out of bed today. Everything is difficult.

That's the thing. I support the EU doing what they have to do. I'm also well aware that any sanction or economic tactic they use is going to affect the people already suffering far before it ever touches the 1% who are steering the ship. I guess that's the price we pay.

Apropos of nothing, does the pic of Musk showing off his DOGE shirt give anyone else "megalomaniac stripper" vibes?

OMG, guys, can you believe it? DOGE "might" have had underhanded intentions! It's beyond comprehension! No one saw it coming! *faints*
