I read things. I don't abide fascism. If you're selling porn or the illuminati - don't add me.

I kind of grew up with Barry (we met just out of high school)
- it pisses me off that someone ran him down with a car.

Hey - I'm experimenting with a Youtube channel (at the beginning just doing shorts of my Birdbath, maybe later some garage projects).
If you could hit subscribe, it would get me closer to the goal of 50 when I can live-stream.

RawStory [Jan 21] Trump struggling to define Sex One EO defines as sex at conception producing large or small gametes. 2nd as sex born with eggs or sperm.

But fetuses are single cells at conception (we don't produce gametes until puberty)--and no fetus is born with _either_ eggs or sperm.

President Donald Trump published two executive orders late Monday that targeted transgender people, but critics couldn't help but note that the clunky language declared all Americans legally female. ...

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.
The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

When The Carter Center began leading the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease in 1986, there were an estimated 3.5 million cases in at least 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Today, that number has been reduced by more than 99.99%. In 2024 so far there have been 7 cases.

Trump's mentor was the anti-communist Roy Cohn who counseled Senator McCarthy. What Trump does best is fear porn. If you look around on the Internet, you can probably find the whole episode. Fear porn.
