You know, Nixon called Watergate a witch-hunt, too.

Who’d a thunk it?

Morgan Stanley credits Bidenomics for 'much stronger' than expected GDP growth https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/21/bidenomics-spurred-stronger-gdp-growth-morgan-stanley.html

You ever feel like you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, and the sky is full of shoes?

@ScottSoCal @KimPerales Here's an excellent resource on sundown towns for anyone interested in learning more.

James "Loewen started working on sundown towns in 1999. Having grown up in Illinois, he knew he would do more research in that state than any other, simply owing to his familiarity with it. He anticipated finding maybe 10 sundown towns in Illinois and 50 across the nation. He had no idea." https://justice.tougaloo.edu/sundown-towns/

Many people are surprised to learn that ants sleep. Even more surprising is the evidence that suggest they may dream (RAE is a sleep state found in ants and bees chattered by Rapid Antennae Movements and possibly similar to the REM sleep in mammals)

Ants sleep frequently and in funny locations. Generally they will rest their thorax and gaster on the ground, fold their antennae and be very still. They nap for 10min up to an hour. Queen ants will sleep for up to 4 hours at a time.

@ScottSoCal Yes, you’re correct, it happens throughout America. We need to continue to expose the horrific behavior & crimes & work toward eradicating systemic racism.

We cannot afford winning close elections, Georgia, Montana, Nevada, and all the many places where attempts to defeat majority votes with bad faith are red flags that voting alone is not enough. Vote like your life depends on it, because it does!

Aldean’s song has resonated with ppl who idolize small-towns, but he’s actually legitimizing vigilantism & violence, blaming Black people for crime & more diverse big cities. #DEI can lead to unity, respect & a stronger nation: There’s a reason that Black people still talk about “sundown towns” in the South & Midwest, places that aren’t safe for us to be after dark -it’s precisely bc of a kind of glorification of small-town tribal violence that’s in Aldean’s song & video. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/21/tulsa-race-jason-aldean-true-crime/

Berlusconi dies and suddenly Italy has a cocaine surplus

@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic

Reminded me of the scene with the Grissini (T'Pol using fork and knife to eat it).

After recently rewatching TNG, I feel as if these scenes are little discourses about personal/social perspectives.

Archer IMHO is the "typical American", who takes his (personal) culture for granted.

"Why are foreign delegates offended by a shared meal?"
"Why doesn't T'Pol eat meat?"
"Why are people offended when my dogs pees on their holy tree?"

Yes, dear, strikes are *supposed* to disrupt the status quo. They're *supposed* to make things difficult.

That's the fucking point.

@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic estranged due to being gay here. Arguably the old man is the source of autism in my family 😅
