The KKK, the Proud Boys, the 3%, the militias - not classed as terrorist organizations, because white people can't be terrorists. They can be "disturbed lone gunman", or "mentally ill radicalized person".

Good morning, friends. 🌼🌼🌼

It's Friday and I know it's 5 PM somewhere so enjoy.

Yesterday, I had lunch with some of my former coworkers. Hmmm ... I started to use the work "old" instead of "former," but some of them are indeed not old. Okay, my train is trying to jump the track. Oops, there it goes.

I used to look forward to weekends, sometimes. My old job would often require me to work up to 20 days without a weekend break. During those times I would joke that "Thank God it's Friday. I did this with a smile because other than the weird hours, it was a pretty good job. When actual "take a break," weekends came they were usually pretty long, sometimes several days. I have to say, the anticipation of a weekend was usually much more exciting than the actual weekend.

Another economic success story from the Biden AdministrationπŸ™‚: The prime-age employment rate is now higher than the pre-recession peak.

And it did so in record time, despite starting from a lower base.

It's been a historically rapid and complete recovery. Took over 12 year to get back to pre-recession peak following the Great Recession -Skanda Amarnath

And yet, somehow, the people who publish economic stories are still beating the drum for recession, and issuing memos to companies they invest in and control that there must be layoffs to offset this recession they're talking about.
Recessions are good for Republican politicians and the oligarchs who control them.

@StillIRise1963 They will always but a veneer of legitimacy on it, but it's only there for the people who are looking to believe it. If you're a racist in your heart then you will jump through every hoop and believe every line of bullshit that makes you feel like the rules are fair and your people did nothing wrong.

I am going to try to use this latest annoyance as an opportunity to grow my presence on other platforms, including here on Mastodon.

Only three more shows and a handful of tickets remain, for one show tonight and a matinee and evening show tomorrow, for our run of Allegiance in London! Oh, it’s been quite a run. Who’s going to grab these last ones? Allegiancemusical.com

Amazing Roman theater in Aspendos, in Anatolia (southern Turkey). The facility was built in the middle of the 2nd century CE, on a natural slope. This theater is the best-preserved ancient theater in Asia Minor. The building was able to accommodate 12,000 spectators. [798x532]

How is toilet paper like the USS Enterprise?
They both circle Uranus and search for Klingons.

I need all my young followers to know that Uranus basically never stops being funny, and yes, most adults will forever have to fight back giggles

We pretty much only put on the serious face when teaching kids, outside of the classroom that mask drops super fast

It's like a whole conspiracy to try and convince kids it's not funny, but the conspiracy has failed, and yet we persist

Me, wondering what it says about my psychological state that I looked at that picture and saw an alligator jumping out of the water and catching a bird.

Nothing like the Atchafalaya Swamp in the spring - Lake Martin, LA. Here an Anhinga (snake bird) is drying the wings.

I finished my second landscape. It’s the beginning of the walking trail at Chisholm Creek Park in Wichita, Kansas. #OilPainting #art
