Happily married GenX with a #Mets heart, a #BlueCrew soul, and a bookshelf fit to start a revolution. Rescuing animals, music, history, science, books, and stray animals keep me sane. Posts may contain sarcasm and stray cats.💙⚾⚖️📖✌️☮️

If you are a Mets fan, I want to follow you.

Unless you're MAGA, in which case the internet is a dangerous place and you'd be safer playing in a sandbox with your 2 white crayons and a juice box.

I had both eyes done a week apart.

The smile is what I was after. We all need to laugh right now. And they hate it when we do.

My mother often tells me I'm not as funny as I think I am, as she stifles a laugh. Same with my wife.💙💙

tRump was very much interested when Zelensky explained that Ukraine could not hold elections during the ongoing war with Russia ... tRump created the lie for a war to involve America.

BREAKING: Journalists exited the Pentagon after refusing to agree to the Trump administration's new restrictions on access.

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs being removal from being at the seat of U.S. military power.

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

Jared Diamond writes that we evolved to trust 150 people. Beyond that, we sort into tribes. Trump didn’t invent hate, he gave it permission. The sewer was always there. He just lifted the grate and said, “Come out. You’re safe now.”

The fight for civil rights will never be over.
We have made progress, but the forces that oppose justice regenerate with every generation.
Human nature never changes; envy, fear, & hate will always exist.
So we keep showing up.
It's not a victory we need to win again & again. @jazchaz.bsky.social

He tied $20B in aid to Argentina’s midterms, threatening to cut support if Milei’s party loses. Congress won't stop him, they're closed over Epstein. SCOTUS won't. Roberts crowned him king. The budget’s his personal slush fund and loyalty rewards program. Violates US & Intl Law

But on screen? He’s just teeth and jump scares. King’s supernatural web rarely survives Hollywood’s scissors.
Here's to hoping that HBO's new "It: Welcome to Derry" breaks that trend.
