Santos Day could be the day we all say whatever we want.
For example, I wrote the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution. I didn't accept any credit for it, because I'm modest like that, but the whole thing was my idea.

Sometimes I go to restaurants and pretend itโ€™s my birthday so they put a free dessert on or something

I call it a Santos

In case anyone wondered about this image used on Mvskoke.social

This is a digital reproduction of a historical site in Georgia known as Okmulgee. Mvskoke ancestors built large earthen mounds at Okmulgee and lived there long before Europeans arrived in North America.

โ€œNo one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.โ€

Today is #NationalRibbonSkirtDay, inspired by Isabella Kulak, an Ojibwe (Saulteaux) girl from Cote First Nation.

I'm proud to wear a #RibbonSkirt made by my sister to celebrate our connections to #Secwรฉpemc land and culture. The one Dana is wearing is made by Cheyenne Lazore, a Kanienสผkehรก๊ž‰ka (#Mohawk) artist. #Indigenous

The funny thing is, they love her outdoor cage. I have a big stainless steel cage I thought might be nice for her to get sunshine. With avian flu, I stopped using it, but the sparrows and finches love it. If something scary (crows, hawks, whatever) flies over the feeder, they dart into the cage, because they can fit between the bars. Stay there until scary thing is gone, then back to the feeder.

So reckless that The New York Times would do this.

It's not "diversity of opinion." It's promoting hate against families, children.

So expected that the New York Times would do this.

I ended my subscription when they decided to do an in-depth analysis of Nazis. Literal, self-identified Nazis.

Kevin McCarthy is reminding us: You can NOT appease fascists! After Jan 6, McCarthy slammed Trump. But 2 weeks later he was at Mar-a-Lago groveling to Trump. McCarthy could've done right thing for America, instead he picked MAGA and lost! He DESERVES IT! My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/

Things that mean "yes"

-Oh go on then
-If you're having one
-I shouldnโ€™t really
-If we have to
-It's not for me to say
-It'll have to be quick
-Be rude not to
-Just this once
-I wonโ€™t say no
-I donโ€™t see why not
-Youโ€™ve twisted my arm
-If you insist

@ScottSoCal @TinCanWin possibly. Or they might think YOU are a predator with a captive bird.

"the anti-establishment fervor that has powered the party in recent years could now devour it"

I think I could find a way to be all right with this.

There's no such thing as bad Trek. It ranges from good to great.

Glass Onion / Minor spoiler 

Had a dream last night that I met Hugh Grant on Grafton St and I persuaded him to make a film just about Benoit Blanc and his sourdough baking husband.

I can confirm Hugh is totally on for it and hopes to both produce & direct the film ๐Ÿ˜†

REMINDER: Steve Scaliseโ€™s life was saved by a Black lesbian Capitol cop who covered his body with her own while she was shot in the process.   Then Scalise voted against the #EqualityAct. TWICE. That is all you need to know about him. #SteveScaliseIsTrash #NeverSteveScalise

Steph just invited QAnon cult member Lauren Boebert to come back to discuss her feelings about โ€œred flag laws.โ€

Then Steph did a little monologue about how โ€œwe just want to understand whatโ€™s going on in Congress and thatโ€™s why we had her on.โ€

Give me a break. Thatโ€™s what actual journalism is for. This was a bush league ratings grab. Why does absolutely everything have to suck?
