I have to complete my self evaluation today and I really just want to write, "This year I did work and you compensated me for it, as per our agreement."

If only we could convert conservative hypocrisy into usable energy. It certainly sustainable enough.

Partner took these on her walk to work this morning, and since she doesn’t post, it falls to me to show you all how pretty our new little urban neighbourhood can be in the fall. #Halifax #Sunrise #HalifaxWaterfront

Many years ago i encountered an article about the ecological benefits of “Not Raking Leaves In Fall” and I follow it happily now. All the trees are currently dropping dead leaves and where the wind puts them, I leave them. Every year, in the spring, I marvel at the discovery that overwinter, they get used, eaten, and rot into the ground. There is simply nothing to rake in the spring. I sort of want to kick earlier me for busting ass with raking. It’s pointless. #today #yard #leaves #raking

Swing state paper publishes blistering takedown of a key component of Trump's agenda

...would bring about economic ruin and hardship for millions of Americans...

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, one of the largest papers for the battleground state of Georgia...

Trump’s planned 10%, 20% or 60% tariffs — he proposes...will raise food and drug costs. Indeed, economists have found that Trump’s tariff plans will cost families between $2,600 and $4,000 per year."

"We're close to World War 2" 👈🏼-- #Trump

(If Joe Biden did this the NYT would devote a special edition of the paper to calling his cognition into question)

@RickiTarr
would you answer this poll?

When a Fascist tells you, "it's just a joke", don't believe 'em.

Michelle Obama: "Kamala, she's putting herself out there. Fearlessly facing down even her harshest critics. She's seeking out Republicans to find common ground. And unlike her opponent, she's not ducking interviews or cowering in safe spaces only with fawning audiences. No, she's showing us what a sane, stable leader looks like. She's not losing her train of thought or stumbling over her words."

“This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty. Donald #Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners),” former Post executive editor Martin Baron, who led the paper while Trump was president, said. “History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.”
