Not interested in having lots of followers. I think it's a waste of time. Not interested in chats, either. If I like a post, the poster will know it if they care. If I comment the poster will know it if they happen to see it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I think the human race needs to understand that Imperialism is not a philosophy of the people. Imperialism is the philosophy of megalomaniacs.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social My wife and daughter have started watching 'Invasion.' They seem to like it. To me it seems scattered, disconnected, a cluster of almost interesting stories claiming to be puzzles.
I guess I just don't understand.

To be fair, nobody knows much of anything after being whapped upside the head.
There’s something doubly grating about the pious invocation of “Western civilization” by the sort of incurious dolt who wouldn’t know a Titian canvas, a Beethoven quartet, or a Socratic dialogue if whapped them upside the head.
It has long been clear that unalloyed racism lies at the core of Trumpism, and he is becoming increasingly explicit about this.

Yes. To be fair, though, quoting Socrates to Trump is clearly an example of casting pearls before swine.

The Putin/Witkoff/Trump "peace plan" for Ukraine is, of course, ridiculous.
So why bother?
Two things:
1. To be able to accuse Zelensky of wanting to continue the war.
2. To be able to accuse Zelensky of doing a Netenyahu, wanting to continue the war to prevent being arrested for corruption.

I understand that Lindsay Halligan could face being disbarred due to the foul up in the Comey case. I think that won't happen (she can legitimately claim ignorance and inexperience), but...
Boy, she must be thinking right now that maybe trying to curry favor from Trump wasn't such a good idea.
