NYPD setting up barricades to prevent terrorist attacks by Trump supporters on the Manhattan courthouse if Trump is charged. This is the USA in 2023 thanks to Trump and the GOP. It's long past time that MAGA be designated a TERRORIST group!!

When men refer to themselves as ‘Alpha males’, I hear that in the context of software, where alpha versions are unstable, missing important features, are filled with flaws and are generally not fit for the public.

Breaking News: The Manhattan District Attorney's Office announced that former president Donald J. Trump will not be arrested tomorrow because there are no handcuffs that could contain his impossibly tiny hands.

Rock'n'roll godmother Sister Rosetta Tharp was born on this day in 1915. Treat your soul to this priceless footage of her performing live at a Manchester train station with her white felt coat and electric guitar https://www.themarginalian.org/2013/03/20/sister-rosetta-tharpe/
@halfcocked @AriCohn Most people I know who work on a sink drink tequila (but they're all Arizonans, so who knows?)
@AriCohn I think you owe that man a bottle of scotch (or game tickets), the dogs need treats for their PTSD, and you better cook a nice dinner for SO

Either there’s rule of law or there isn’t. It’s not a question of the office someone held or their ability to incite violence.

@Mrfunkedude @djwfyi Dude, it’s the second paragraph, right after “The carer shall ensure that the bottom of the dry food dish shall never be visible through the kibble, and agrees that pitiful/angry yowling shall constitute sufficient alert of any lapses on the part of the carer in this matter. This will then escalate to random scratching and/or destruction if the issue has not been resolved after 1-5 minutes of warning. Repeated lapses will result in slipper-vomit.”!

These are #rainboweucalyptus!
Aka #Eucalyptusdeglupta or Rainbow Gums.
These #gums are SO unique.
No… kids haven’t been defacing these gums with crayons or fluro-pens.
Their vibrant colours are all natural.
Ive featured these gorgeous #gums before, but have found a number of new pics to share… 👇
These are fair-dinkum real. And they’re absolutely stunning!!
🧐 Known facts about the #rainbowgum:
- When a rainbow eucalyptus sheds its bark it reveals a neon green inner layer. Over time, as this layer is exposed to air, it ages into different colors. They display bright reds, oranges, blues, pinks and purples.
- The different colours appear as different layers fall off, while other exposed areas begin aging.
- Rainbow eucalyptus is the ONLY eucalyptus tree native to the #northernhemisphere.
- They’re found mainly in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Indonesia.

A month ago I shared a #colorful #romantic scene with a man and a woman and a commenter here said they'd like to see something similar with two men instead. This is a result of that challenge. ❤️

@MibIH I guess we both forgot harmonica. I'll bet there was some ability to tickle the ivories, so your mea culpa might be premature.
@MibIH I didn't know he played piano. I guess he left it to Lou Martin. People seem to forget about his acoustic work. "Going to My Hometown" is an astonishing mandolin performance. It was very eye-opening to follow the growth of that piece of music throughout the years.
He surrounded himself with incredible musicians. I have this story in my head--besides being graced with his talent, he also had the ability to transfer some of his talent to others, making them the best they can be.

@andrew I remember running this at one of my jobs. It was actually very cool to watch, and I loved the idea of distributive processing throughout the world. I always hoped my computer would find something!
I looked at running it again in 2021 and found that they had shut down. I felt as if I had let the world down, a bit

As we speak, a discernible backlash is beginning to take shape. It's the leading edge of an angry reaction to the right wing, uber-Christian power grab.
It's very hard to see history from inside history. But we are living through a moment of stunning historical significance. Nothing should be seen from a normal perspective because nothing about right now is even remotely normal (sorry, American news media!).
Christo-fascism has been present in America for a long, long time.
Donald Trump gave it full permission to sit at a table it does not belong at. But then, Trump shouldn't have been at the table either. But for Russia, Trump would NEVER have been POTUS. Is it a coincidence that American Christo-fascists see bonds with so-white-he's-practically-translucent Putin but not with other Americans?
Trump's day in the barrel has come. When the indictments start dropping, they might not ever stop. We'll get plenty of bravado from the bloated orange traitor, but he won't help himself one bit. He won't help any other Republicans either. In fact, Trump's inability to shut up - or to take responsibility - will begin to bite more and more Republicans in the ass.
And they're going to have to defend themselves legally.
Once the first rat abandons the SS Trump, there'll be a headlong rush for the gunwales. The rats will learn quickly: it's really, really, REALLY expensive defending yourself against this level of federal charge. And there's only so much legal defense cash to go around. Same goes for GoFundMe dollars. Then the rats will have to settle for the best deals they can cut - with all the good deals already long gone.
These bastards all know the depth and extent of Republican complicity. Hell, the GOP's leadership knew as early as June 25, 2016 that "Putin pays Trump". That was a month before they nominated him. It's in the Washington Post (May 17, 2017). Kevin McCarthy exits a meeting about Russia undermining Ukraine's fragile new democracy and enters a meeting of GOP leaders. The FIRST thing McCarthy said upon entering: "There's two people I think Putin pays - Rohrbacher and Trump - swear to God!". No one in the room (filled with GOP leaders) disagreed with McCarthy or even challenged him.
They knew it was true - "Putin pays Trump". Meaning: Putin controls Trump. Putin owns Trump. And that means a "President Trump" poses a grave national security risk.
The GOP knew when Trump said "Russia, if you're listening...!" that Russia WAS listening.
One of the Grand Jurors in Georgia said the other day that what's coming about Trump and his corruption would be "massive". No doubt. And that massive corruption was all geared toward keeping Trump in the White House where he (thinks) he can't be prosecuted for his crimes.
And, please, let's stop pretending that Trump might not know what he did was criminal. Every bit of the reality we live in screams "he knows exactly what he's doing!!!"
This is one of those moments when we need to make absolutely certain that the swing in the other direction - the backlash - goes all the way to where it must.
The goal: level the playing field here in America so that, finally, everyone gets the same shot as everyone else. We can't aim for that - we'll never get there that way. We need to swing for the fences. It's not like the things we want in our dream world are terrible things.
A world where the most possible people experience the most possible happiness might be hard to pull off but that doesn't excuse us from trying to get there.
Let's start with the first real, concrete steps in bringing Donald Trump to the justice he so richly deserves.
