Yeah, some kind of festival of doxxing.
Sort of? Some people do drink every day, especially if they have good wine affordably priced locally. (👋 Spain, France) But even in the same families some will drink, others not, or only rarely. Some in my 🇨🇦 family have a 🍷 🍺 or two with dinner, but I drink only maybe on major holidays.

I have doubts as well, but am bemused that I find former republicans interesting to listen to. Any podcasts you’d recommend? I need to expand my choices.
He has! I listen to him on the Bulwark every week. Would not have believed that in 2003.
I saw this reposted by Bill Kristol and my mind boggled painfully. But people can surprise us even decades later.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

It’s not so much a boycott as it’s self preservation. We’re not stupid, and we are stubborn. 🇨🇦 Let’s go for 💯

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

We love this flashback from The 2014 GRAMMYs.
Sara Bareilles & Carole King doing a Beautiful/Brave mashup.
Cruise ship at dusk, Ogden Point, Victoria. A floating city.
The waterfront in Victoria with a bike lane, yellow lounge chairs, a pedestrian walkway along the ocean with a fence and railing at the edge. The sky and water are golden at sunset. In the background is a huge cruise ship, docked. Its lights are all on and it sparkles. In the foreground is a tall lamppost with a golden light at the top.
The sky tonight in the Salish Sea, 6:43 pm.
The straight of Juan de Fuca looking towards Washington state from the southern tip of Vancouver Island. The sea and sky are tinted pink from the sunset. The clouds and the ocean form horizontal bands of colour.

9) People are, all things considered, pretty good.

I see twenty thousand people a day, and maybe two of them are assholes. Even on a stressful day, even in an unfamiliar environment, even hungry and tired and on a timer.

That's a *much* better ratio than folks realize.
Moonrise over the Salish Sea, 6:47 pm.
Photo of pale, almost full moon rising, the ocean is calm, the sky is shades of blue and orange. In the foreground are rocks and tufts of dry grass. Southern tip of Vancouver Island.
What an amazing photo 🖤💀

This could be a long and rambling thread. Be patient with me.

I bought an old mahogany bureau on Ebay. I didn't really want a bureau as we're meant to be downsizing, but it was a beautiful piece & obviously very old. Google lens suggests the brass chased handles are Queen Anne. That's 1702-1714 😯
Is someone going to remove the abomination in the background? The huge banner of Dear Leader’s mug is more of a condemnation than even these figures.
Mordor, sorry, Sooke hills, sending up a big searchlight at sunset tonight. 6:45 pm, time is speeding up.
Ah, Hwy 1. Hope they’re ok ❤️
Boat it is then. What’s happening?
