I am always mindful that when it comes to intellectual deficit, the Republican lift doesnβt have access to the executive floors.
Thereβs no better example than support for Ukraine in their battle for survival. Only intellectually challenged Republicans would see military support as a poor investment.
It is bargain basement cheep to support another army to degrade the military assets of such a major adversary, without risking a single U.S. soldier. Alas itβs beyond the mental capacity of some.

For 5% of the US's total military budget, ~50% of Russian military capability has been wiped away, and without a single US military death.
We should quadruple that investment, and build Ukraine to a level Russia wouldn't dare put a toe over the border again.

If I get a whiff of Grey Flannel cologne I'm transported to 1980, and making out with my first boyfriend at the drive-in theater.
It snows about 7-8 months a year in the north. I have to do this about 6-7 times in 24 hours when it snows. Now you can calculate how many times I remove snow from my deck every year. Good exercise, eh? Besides the winter workout, I am sending you love, warmth, joy, hope and positivity. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/B0JKNO2CgdU
Hey, check it out, my wife just joined Mastodon. Go say hi to @PokeMom everybody!

To a Republican, everyone "not-me" is a prop. Even other Republicans.

If that's what's happening, this young one picked a prime spot for it. Under the neighbors' solar panels is prime pigeon nesting real estate, and there are dozens. We just added solar, and expect to have more pigeons. As long as it doesn't try to sweep down while I'm holding my parrot, I'm happy to live and let live.

It does look like a Peregrine, a juvenile with the darker brown on the chest. May be trying to get through first winter, trying to find a territory. It's rough out there! Have learned from a rough past year watching Cal Falcons @CalFalconCam https://calfalcons.berkeley.edu/

Because there's bros and there's hos, and it's always bros before hos, and if your bros can be your hos - well, that gets confusing for straight boys. They're easily confused.
I don't understand the anti-trans transhumanist techbros out there either.
My dudes, the entire point of transhumanism is radical bodily autonomy.
If you're hung up on what someone's original meatsack was, you're gonna have a bad time in the transhumanist future you're after.

Twitter cared about keeping your eyes glued to the screen, no matter what it took. They found out that doom-scrolling did that best, so that's what they did.
@BeazLouise@birds.town @mjohanning This looks a little like the bird that's been terrorizing my neighborhood birds, and occasionally turning my backyard into a crime scene, with drifts of feathers everywhere.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
