Drink every time he says “witch hunt.”

Our 10yr old has gotten ***REALLY*** into mechanical watches & clocks to the point he's on the verge of starting a side gig repairing them. He mentions his hobby to everyone, and a lot of folks have a not-quite-working item sitting around. He's fixed a number of them.

He has had a tough time with an civil war era pocket watch, but was finally able to salvage a compatible part from somewhere, and he got it ticking today. He was so proud, and wants to share with everyone.

Not sure who is following this PragerU thing in Florida (of course) schools but that is some next level systematic white supremist shit. Full on indoctrination.

“This should be decided at the ballot box and not in a bunch of liberal jurisdictions trying to put the man in jail. They’re weaponizing the law.”

— Sen. Lindsey Graham, possible co-conspirator for, you know, NOT LETTING IT BE DECIDED AT THE BALLOT BOX

Trump update

The grand jury is still hearing testimony.

The reporters are still starving.

The court deputy swapped his suit for gym shorts.

The judge popped in... "hang in there"

@mekkaokereke When fellow white people say the civil rights movement was nonviolent, I say it was very violent, but the violence was all on the side refusing civil rights. I think people want to forget how violent it was, and think there was just these nice marches, then we all agreed, how pleasant!

Saying "I don't like political violence, whether it comes from the left or the right" in regards to US politics is not an enlightened statement. It's anti-Black. Because at its core is the extreme reluctance to even acknowledge that almost all US political violence is on one side: the fascist side trying to maintain minority rule.

I'm not even talking about the appropriateness of violence for self-defense. I'm talking about the fact that Black folk and US progressives don't violently coup.🤷🏿‍♂️

Republicans won’t fight for kids to get school lunch but they’ll fight to make them have a baby? Fuck you, GOP.

In honor of Gary Larson's birthday, the two times The Far Side and Dennis the Menace accidentally had their captions switched. I laughed for an hour the first time I saw these.

I've pleaded with folks to provide high quality masks at their meetings to make the meetings safer and if they REALLY want to do a social hour with food to hold it after the meeting so folks who aren't comfortable participating can leave. I've told these same people how I'm immunocompromised and how isolating it has been to see people drop mask requirements and stop taking precautions.

They said they "heard me" and then did nothing.

The English language is a wonderful thing, and we know some rules without knowing we know them.

‘Have you ever heard that patter-pitter of tiny feet? Or the dong-ding of a bell? Or hop-hip music? That’s because, when you repeat a word with a different vowel, the order is always I A O. Bish bash bosh. So politicians may flip-flop, but they can never flop-flip. It’s tit-for-tat, never tat-for-tit. This is called ablaut reduplication, and if you do things any other way, they sound very, very odd indeed.’ From ‘The Elements of Eloquence’ by Mark Forsyth.
