While some shit may be fucked up, aging uncovers other talents. The ability to sit still for long periods while appearing to be doing nothing, a heightened appreciation for naps, bemusement at the folly of youth, transitioning to curmudgeon...

Just catching up after a trip. Your little bit about your Dad's information loop reminded me of an old BBS tagline: "In a land of troglodytes the erudite man is FOOD."

Show us the Dems on the list.

Can we gently point out that Wudda is now reversing Saint Ronnie's legacy finagles?

Switch? Only if you want to see Reproblican entrenchment. Some of the Dem alter kockers are still effective and know how and why we fight. Some do need to be replaced. Doing it wholesale would be a disaster. For 2026 Dems need every seat they can get and they'll need unified support.

I entered Opposite World, unwillingly, back in 1981. I've lodged my objections, consistently, ever since. I am not as loud as I once was, but I'm as loud once as I ever was.
Despite brief quadrennial respites, we've all been living in this Orwellian nightmare since RWR took us on his detour.

I only question RWR's understanding of what he signed. After being told that there was no fat, waste or abuse to be found, he fell back to his Hollywood script of America. He couldn't "fix" it, so he agreed to break it, so that it would be rebuilt correctly. He read from the prepared script after.

The steps go back much further than 50 years. Before the 1955 launch of "The National Review" there was "Yellow Journalism", the KKK, John Birch Society et al... appeal was limited... by shame? by the memory of people who knew how bad the bad could be? As DG says, "memory is our superpower.

This is currently making the rounds. It's not true, or at least misleading. Our history textbooks have been edited, rewritten, replaced, revised, scrubbed and whitewashed, that's true, but our history is out there to be learned, if that is want you want. It's not hidden.

Let's assume that you're one of us. Unless of course
you're one of them, then you'll want to explain what you're
doing here with us. If you don't then, maybe you are not who I think you are and, possibly,not who you think you are either. You might want to check, just to make sure.
I'll wait....

I'm told that knitting can be accomplished while sitting poolside in warm sunshine while sipping a tropical drink. Bluegal would undoubtedly excel at that.
