I finally watched the #gop response to the Address #darkbrandon gave the country.
Like she did in the last Administration, #huckabee still lies.
How can people who claim to be Christian look at themselves in the mirror after telling these falsehoods. There is a Commandment against lying, right?
Teaching about the Holocaust should be mandatory. No exceptions just because it might shock students. It is horrific, all decent young people need to know this.
Teach US students about Holocaust, experts say, amid rise in antisemitism

@ScottSoCal Iโll need to schedule some time for a lunch-and-learn so I can be more effective at not being sick
I think website's finished enough now to start mentioning the url, so...

*quietly whispers* "tadaaa...."
It's just a place to be able to point to separate from social media, but there are more than a few new and better pictures, and I'm happy it's now both Dutch and English. So enjoy if you want to look around

(I'm also pretty chuffed that it's .art now, instead of .nl).

For a European, #Biden speech last night was a show of hope, that at least more then half the #USA voters are not complete delusional christian fanatics and that there is still faith in #Democracy.

#stateoftheunion we have a #President who really likes the #legislative branch of government, and the back and forth. To him those were not interruptions, but call and response, punctuation. For once the writers wrote the heckling and applause lines into the script! Itโs dialogue.
Also get impression he could cheerfully drink them each and every one under the table in the pub while telling stories and jokes!
Well done President #Biden!
A blustery good morning to you. Yesterdayโs shot put me in mind of the Islands, so Iโm posting a beach photo today from Uig Snds, Lewis.

Once you see it you can't unsee it:
A "civil rights leader," is often what a "political leader" looks like in a system where pervasive racism prevents Black people from achieving the highest office.๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
What civil rights leaders call for today, becomes sound, accepted, proven good policy 20 years in the future, that improves life for all of us.
This goodness or badness compounds year over year. If we had listened to Frederick Douglass about reconstruction, the US would not be so messed up today.

Here we go!
Would "Finding Your Roots" be nearly as interesting if they did normal people?
I just saw where #NFL star Tony Gonzalez was related to William Shakespeare.
Mine would probably be like "they lived in this Appalachian holler for 200 years.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
