"Ukraine is fighting for itself, for survival. And if the whole world thought the way we do, I'm sure we would have already stopped the russians. If we didn't have half-sanctions and half-solutions, we would have already stopped putin. Of course, they stopped.
The world is much stronger, the world is much bigger, much more powerful, principled, economically stronger. But semi-sanctions. Everything is "half"."
-Volodymyr #Zelenskyy, President of #Ukraine

Ummm, #WTAF?
#FauxNews host #JesseWatters told his male viewers that if they vote for a #woman, they have "mommy issues."
then even more ludicrously #Watters said:
βI heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman."

That was a hell of a thing.
I now adore #RachelScott of #ABC even more.
This is how every #Trump interview & debate should be conducted.
After he took his seat, #ABCNewsβ Rachel Scott asked, βI want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today.β
She cited numerous false claims Trump made about #Obama & #NikkiHaley, along w/other remarks attacking Black figures & people of color.

4. JD Vance is ONE OF THEM. Vance was literally put on Trump's ticket by the same group of people - Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen - who are behind all of the weirdness I've been writing about. https://newrepublic.com/article/183971/jd-vance-weird-terrifying-techno-authoritarian-ideas

Well, I wonβt be worth a damn the rest of the day; received in the mail today a sympathy card from the staff of the veterinarianβs office with ink impressions of Jaggerβs paw prints. The photo of Jagger is from one morning in 2015 when he came over as if to say βHi! Can we go for the morning walk now?β as I was getting my shoes on to start the day.

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.
