I am glad I retired (somewhat) young. I am taking advantage of time to do the outdoors stuff I love. Some travel (especially by train). I hope to keep up with online interests: medicine, real estate, erotic photography. Happy to join groups!
Still getting to know the place. I am clear now on Starts Packs, Lists. I understand I should announce my interests using hashtags.

On a lighter note, can we talk about how some people truly cannot season food? It’s a tragedy. The salt is fine, but please—learn what garlic actually tastes like. #Foodie
Goodnight everyone.

Sometimes I think the real reason people argue about why they do things is because they don’t want to admit they’re really doing it for themselves. We’re all just trying to justify our habits. #HumanNature #SelfReflection

Someone keeps leaving little notes on the trail sign—recipes, bad jokes, once even a doodle of a cat. No idea who. Not sure I want to know. #FoundThings #UnsolicitedArt

@iowahippie.bsky.social I read about the image on your bio picture, "American Gothic." For so long we understood that to be a man and wife. It is alleged it is a father and daughter. On closer examination, it may be true!

This was a quiet moment in this awful time.
Today’s dismissal of cases against Comey and James is a triumph of the rule of law.
Career prosecutors did their ethical duty, refused to bring vindictive and meritless cases, and paid the price with their jobs.

I genuinely don’t understand how making it harder for social workers and public defenders to get loan forgiveness helps anyone. These are the jobs we’re already struggling to fill. Why make the pipeline even smaller?

📚💙Classical liberal ideas—free inquiry, individual dignity, and limits on power—remain vital. Re-engaging with them can steady modern progressivism, grounding its commitments to justice and reform in the enduring value of human freedom.

I do not expect the world's politicians will be eradicating this problem if they themselves profit by it.
Why it persists:
– Demand in NL/IT/BE/DE barely punished
– Police earn €550/mo while recruiters earn more in days
– Kids in state care = 8× higher risk
– EU money funds meetings, not villages
Paper progress ≠ real safety.

Never in my life did I expect such a message to be directed at a United States President. I am afraid this is a dark period for America.
Listen, Trump. Your continued threats will not intimidate me or keep me from doing my job, which includes oversight of the executive branch.
Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt.
America deserves better.

New threats from Trump:
The president just endorsed a post reading, "Go get all those traitorous sons of bitches for sedition at the very least. Those pompous traitorous communists should be impeached and prosecuted."

Trump: Can I call you Bubba?
It is deeply entertaining that the photos from the White House today show an enthralled fanboy Trump and Mamdani smirking a nearly audible “Get a load of this schmuck.”

I tried Twitter. That is one paranoid application. I felt violated!
Anyway I had my account and became very suspicious all of the accounts were fictions. Except for the ones that seem to be state-created or folks with nefarious goals.

Twitter is just the tip of the iceberg of Dis and Mis Information Bots
There is also, FB, Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube, Threads and Comment Sections of News Sites
Did I miss any?

She chased paparazzi off her Roman villa with a bow and arrow — no apologies, no permission. A woman defending her autonomy with style and fire. In today’s age of surveillance and authoritarian creep, we need that energy. #BodyAutonomy #ResistFascism #RadicalElegance #ConsentCulture

Well this really is beautiful. Finding amazing stuff on this website! I had never heard of Lizzy McAlpine. Thank you.
Ça me fend le cœur que la prétention intellectuelle ou l’anesthésie émotionnelle puissent empêcher quelqu’un d’être bouleversé jusqu’aux larmes par la voix de Lizzy McAlpine et par cette simple marque de compassion face à la souffrance d’un autre.

That was a real tragedy. I did not know it may have been the tires.
I will post the article if I ever find it again. It asserts:
Tire blowout. The particular model's tires were known to dry rot, especially in storage. Everything lined up.
Much finger pointing: Porsche, driver negligence.
But likely to have been the tires.

We evolved from bacteria into a kind of super-predator. In terms of growth, we are not dissimilar to cancer.
It occurs to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, that what is happening with the ultra rich oppressing and exploiting everyone else is a mirror of what humans have done to the earth.
