Boy oh boy do I get a lot of use out of this quote.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition. There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind . . .
...alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

It's Monday again. #GoodMorning #DailyGiggle

The milk has gone bad. It took $5 out of mom's purse while she wasn't looking the other day. Stole half a pack of cigarettes and a couple fingers of whiskey. It knows I see it but won't say anything, smiles at me in a conspiratorial kind of way. It's only milk after all. Some of the housepets have gone missing in the neighbourhood now. When questioned, the milk just grins. The milk stands over my bed at night, staring. I pretend to be asleep but I know it knows I am awake. I'm afraid of the milk. It's expiry date was only a short while ago and this has all escalated very quickly.

I wonder if this includes all sick birds...

...or just ill eagles?

Next time a conservative says they don't believe in pronouns, try calling God "she."

Sunak is a snake. Just as Johnson had his 'Little boy lost' ruffled hair persona to fool the people, so Little Rishi has his crisper than crisp, whiter than white persona to fool the people.

He's a fucking scumbag. And it's high time the UK woke the fuck up, and paraded on the streets that they want these crooks out, or their heads on a stick.

Server: You look SO familiar, but I can’t place it. Are you famous? Maybe like an internet celebrity?

Me: I have over 1 million followers on TikTok, so maybe?

Server: Oh! Yes!

Me: Wait, what, no! I was just kidding. I’m sorry. I don’t even have an account on TikTok. I probably just look familiar because I’m in here almost every single week, but thank you for finally noticing.

I have an ask of each of you.

Saturday morning I suddely collapsed and lost consciousness.  I apparently experienced sudden cardiac arrest.

We don't know why yet.  I didn't have a heart attack, stroke, or pulmonary embolus, and I don't have cardiomyopathy, heart failure, or any known heart disease.

I tell you this because you never know when someone's life depends on you.

My ask:  get #CPR trained and stay current with training.

Pain changes pain.

The typical American work week has five (5) days. That’s five (5) opportunities to have chimichangas for lunch. Don’t squander those opportunities.

Once again, I'm reminded of how much the billionaire space race has absolutely destroyed my love of rockets.

10 years ago, I definitely would have been paying close attention to the current giant SpaceX launch. But because I know it's going to be used to launch hundreds of unregulated, unsafe, polluting, for-profit Starlink satellites at once, I just can't look.

Instead of being excited and awestruck by a new gigantic rocket launch, it just makes me want to puke.

@ScottSoCal that may be a bridge too far, Scott

Got tired of replacing the batteries on my mouse, so I got this thing - not sure if anyone has seen it before - but it’s a WIRED mouse. Plugs right into the computer you are using. Go figure, wonder what they’ll come out with next.

Blessed are the boosters. For they help me see funny things I missed from people I already follow.

Yeah, I like some of Bernie Sanders ideas as I consider he and Warren in the same camp on a lot of ideas. I resented a lot of his followers who couldn’t accept the fact he didn’t get the nomination in 2016 and either didn’t vote or voted 3rd party. Gotta work with what you have. Do i like everything Biden does or doesn’t do? Hell no. Why would you agree with ANYONE 100% of the time, especially a politician. I suppose if some people can’t accept that feel free to block or unfollow as someone just did. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Not gonna break my heart.

@Lazarou Also, I had no patience with the mollycoddling of "we need to try to understand them."

I grew up in a rural part of the country. I understand them, because I lived among them in the trailer parks. They believe they're temporarily embarrassed millionaires, and if only "those people" weren't cutting ahead of them in line, they'd be rich. They believe that their government assistance checks are because of genuine need, but everyone else is a fraud and "taker."

It's a level of magical thinking that truly boggles my mind.

I refer to my move away from where I grew up as an escape ... and for good reason.
