And the people who are just much too busy to be involved with all that political stuff.

Subtootin' the obvious here but

Nazis aren't the big problem.

The problem is "nice" people who reinforce the status quo.

@theautisticcoach

I'm not a fan for reasons of principle. Stores just put them in so they can lay off cashiers (or not hire enough to begin with) and that offends me. I won't use them unless there are no other registers open.

Yeah, I think a lot of it comes down to racism and misogyny. And it does no good to point to all the former female national leaders in other countries, because 'Murka is different. In no definable way.

@LivingCooki

This whole internet thing is just a fad. People will get bored with it and go back to the tried and true means of communication.

Personally, my least favorite html tag is html as that allows you to make websites and websites were a mistake

FYI that CVS has appointments available for the new COVID vaccine. I just booked mine for this Saturday.

If you don’t have a CVS nearby, just check the websites for your local pharmacies to see if they have it yet.

Stay healthy and safe, friends!

Thank Saint Ronnie of Raygun:
"In 1980 Ronald Reagan was elected and promised to cut the top marginal tax rate. This he did, and the top marginal tax rate was lowered over his 8 years in office from 73% to 28%"

Taxing the rich isn’t radical. It isn’t even new.

The current top-bracket tax rate is 37%.
But in 1965, it was 70%.
In the 1950s, it was over 90%.

NOT taxing the rich is what’s new.

@KitMuse

I do that with checklists - usually in a spreadsheet. Mark everything off, and that way I don't get things jumbled or forget something, and I know it's all taken care of when I see that "x" in the box next to the task.
Beware the dreaded "-" - that means it not only isn't done, there's a problem preventing it from being done.

Ah, OK. I also love the feel of a Cross 0.8mm ball point across paper. Not too scratchy, not too slippery - just right. I bought 2 pen bodies and 2 packs of refills, so I have it ready, at work or at home.

@CynAq

All of what you wrote, except the writing. I used to have exceptional penmanship - seriously, I got compliments. Then I spent 40 years in front of a computer, typing everything. I might write one or two checks a year. I have to initial so many places it's become a glyph, not letters. When I write something I have to stop and think about it, and form things slowly if I want it to be legible.

He blasphemed against their pumpkin god - he must be shunned.

I love Psaki. I miss her dunking on Doocy every day, in the WH press room.
