Proud NM native. I refuse to let small, mean-spirited people frighten me. Proud to be anti-fascist. Reading is resistance. It's artificial intelligence.

My social media history has already doomed me, so I might as well keep going (Point! Laugh! Ridicule!). I'm glad I live in a blue state, but there's still a better than zero chance I'll end up in jail or shot down in the streets. (Wish I was joking.)
One can only hope. And @SenatorTimScott should be sued personally. Make it hurt. (I can't help but pity the guy, but this is just beyond ridiculous. You are NEVER going to get a seat at the table, Tim, no matter how much you suck up to MAGA.)
ICYMI. @SenJonHusted Really? Truly tragic how low you and most of the rest of the GOP has fallen.
I know. I know. This is brutal, but REALLY funny. (And Mullin is really stupid.)
I saw Markwayne Mullin on Fox News for a minute this morning. I had no idea what he was speaking about. He labors to say the simplest things. Honestly, he's not a bad communicator - he's a non-communicator. I imagine him at dinner nightly with his family, wanting someone to pass him the salt, and it never happens.
This. And I just read how Islam built libraries and saved thousands and thousands of Greek and Roman texts. (Library. An Unquiet History, recommended read.)
My comments on the triumph of Arab science and their contribution to preserving Aristotle, Ptolemy, Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes, during the dark ages, until it transitioned 500 years later to Copernicus, Galileo, Tycho Brah, Kepler, Vesalius, da Vinci, Gilbert. Without the great centers of Arab science in Baghdad, Cordoba, Cairo, all would have been lost. There would be no SpaceX, Anthropic, Meta, or at least not for another 500 years. You can take that to the bank

This. But the truly awful part is that the Brits shot the thousands of horses that made it to the end of the war because it was too expensive to ship them home.
This. I mean, c'mon. It's so eye-watering stupid...
Oh look. NBC actually reported some news that isn't normalizing Trump.
On the day a sitting president landed in Lubbock, Texas, for the first time in 34 years, people waited for hours in lines stretching for blocks in this reliably red city. But the crowd wasn't waiting for President Trump. They were waiting for Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…
Yep. The tan suit. The arugula. The dijon mustard. All because he was black. *Sigh* It's so stupid it's funny.
This. And "Strategy" "Message" etc. in headlines today. Media still normalizin him. 🙄 Nope, he's always been dumb as a box of rocks and is now suffering from increasing mental decline.
I hope she wins, and we need more of this! I hope we eventually get back some sanity so I don't automatically assume someone flying an American flag is a cult member. (I was married to a Republican years ago, we agreed to disagree.)
This is what putting South Carolina first looks like.
I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges.
We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: South Carolina deserves leaders who will always put its people first.
My cat loves the lap. She hops into mine multiple times a day, gets some ear rubs, purrs up a storm and then hops off to go do whatever she does when she's not following me around. (She's in mine right now.) Seriously, cats are just the best (also dogs.)
Want to feel better? If you've not already done so, go vote! Always makes my day. And the Cheesecake Factory silliness tweaked my sweet tooth, so got a piece of cake (OMG! Coconut heaven) from local woman-owned bakery. Buy local, do good. (And, yes, I'm old. :) )
Yep. And I can always find SOMETHING to compliment.
People wonder why I give so many compliments to strangers.
I'm not being fake, and I'm certainly not looking for people to like me.
But, if I pass someone and I like something,
I say it:
"Love those shoes,"
"Great hair" or
"Your eyes are beautiful!"
…..Why?
Because life is hard, and this world can be a shitty place.
Some people are just plain mean.
You never know how much those few words could mean to someone.
You never know what hell they may be going through.
And when you put positive vibes out in the universe, YOU become a happier person.
So, random compliment giving will change your life, and more importantly, it may change someone else's as well.
This. If you're a rational adult, you shouldn't expect to agree with someone on everything. (Obama even said Michelle doesn't always agree with him.)
I've never had any interest in going to the Cheesecake Factory. It's a mid, overpriced chain. But there's one about a mile from mi casa; I'm now curious. Heh.
So, are there any good ideas about how we can inflict damage on @Google? And I hope Finland makes them pay $$$$$.
This. And we've got nearly two months between the election and the new House and Senate. We're going to have to slog through a bunch of insane crap. BUT, we will be able to minimize damage and reverse some of it once the Democrats are in.
