Honest to god, Kyle, you cannot dibs the last donut. #Funny #Humor #LOL #Humour

People washing up on Italian and Spanish beaches and dying in cold, dark Białowieża forests in Poland are not members of some barbaric horde trying to take down "Western civilization", steal your job, or hog the welfare system.

They are fellow human beings, with hopes and dreams, making the desperate decision to flee their homes, risk their lives, travel thousands of kilometers in hope of finding a chance to *survive*.

They are visible victims of a class war.

Damn you brain!

P.S. Last year, to mark the 5th anniversary of the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, I wrote a two part series on Trump's response to it and the lengthy right-wing effort to convince everyone that Trump didn't *actually* defend neo-Nazis. Scott Adams played a huuuge role in that.

To all my friends and followers #PullUp. #blackhistory2023 #naacpimageawards

We haven't even gotten to the intentional erasure of non-white contributions, from 1800s phrenologists justifying slavery, all the way to present day DeSantis.

The lie of white supremacy requires the elevation and celebration of white contributions, and the minimizing of everyone else's.

This is the environment in which we pretend that white Europeans and white Americans contributed the most to society.

It's a lie because everyone has contributed to technology and society. Everyone. ♥️👍🏿

Reminder:

what if we did not take for granted that our news comes from major for-profit entities inextricably networked with private equity and corporations who themselves see our shelter, health, and food as opportunities for supplying additional private jets and mega yachts to a paltry few white men?

what if we envisioned society without the profit motive as our most awesome and powerful deity?

what if we had the courage to imagine a different way and fight for it, together?

ever walk into a bar and walk right out again because it feels like everybody there knows each other already and you're intruding? if Cheers was a real bar, i think it would give me social anxiety.

Just a recurring reminder that distributed energy generation an storage is not just good social policy, it's also the best DEFENSE policy.

Every NATO member (and the US) should be spending DEFENSE money on distributed generation and smarter, more localized grids.

A secretive organisation accused of collaborating with far-right activists has been operating out of the House of Lords for more than a decade, a cache of leaked documents suggests. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/25/house-of-lords-worked-with-far-right

Not so much cancel culture as consequences culture.

By the way, Rasmussen is and always has been a garbage, biased pollster that solely exists to prop up Republicans during election season and feed the conservative culture war in the off-season. Everything else they've done is intended to just blur the lines and fluff their cred so that they can continue with their scam.

UKRAINE SOLIDARITY!

Famous landmarks and buildings around the world were lit in the colors of the Ukrainian flag on 24/2/23

Many of you said that buildings were lit in blue and yellow in your cities and towns.

As we move from Caturday into #Sundog Blueberry would like to remind you - if you can see grass…roll in it. Can’t see grass? That’s ok. Roll in what’s available. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Take care of yourself. Also - always question baths. Like why baths? Baths are dumb.

Russia "damaged or ruined completely more than 500 historical and architectural sites during this war," says Ukraine's Minister of Culture, Oleksandr Tkachenko. "This is done by purpose...we probably have the biggest stealing of artifacts since WWII." #velshi http://ow.ly/J0xR50N32s4

@medigoth Well said sir. Loved it in the day, but became increasingly alarmed at his blog posts. Trump, climate change denial (which Dilbert regurgitated) and numerous other warning signs, which I only heard about second hand as I stopped reading all his output after Trump.
