We are taught to be gullible, with advertisements, 2 minutes attention span news coverage, bullet point AI summations of virtually everything.

Americans are taught to be, and expected to be, gullible, stupid people. We've committed cultural suicide.

Please, formerly fired scientists, hold out for higher salaries and job guarantees before going back.

Or at the very least sue for emotional distress and illegal, unwarranted job discrimination

If Biden was that powerful, sneaky, intelligent and unstoppable, why didn't we elect him again? Why did we go with the moron who can't keep the government open?

Scene from the 1962 movie The Manchurian Candidate, actor James Gregory as Senator Iselin, standing in the Senate, claiming to have a list of names of Communists. The number of names on the list, 207, was made up by his wife when he said he needed a specific number.

Some very bad people, of which they're are many, including ALL J6 insurrectionists, Trump and his entire security apparatus, are owed long jail sentences.

We are going to do something about that

#caturday

Cosmo on Night Vision cam.
The garden is actually dark right now. I placed several color changing spotlights around to try to deter raccoons. It might work, but they only last a few hours, the raccoons come in at 3AM.
Anyway, Cosmo likes them, "hunting" mice in magical lights.

Fluffy tuxedo cat, Cosmo, laying on a red and white mosaic table in a garden, at night. Thanks to the light setting you can see the plants, in raised beds, and a chimenia to the right. Spot lights in magenta, blue and green light the area.

See number one, but Cosmo is looking at the camera proudly.

Journalism was in the brink 10, 15 years ago.

Today it's owned by billionaires, hedge fund managers, and fascist goons.
I don't know what they teach in journalism classes, now. Probably how to flip burgers.

It might hurt Republican voters but as long as it hurts Democrats more, it's for the good, is their thinking.

Imagined slights, phantom crimes that they can't define or point out, but they've been told they're victims. And willing to throw away literally everything.

Remembering 'The Twilight Zone' creator Rod Serling

It's been 50 years since the Emmy Award-winning TV writer and producer died. But watching reruns of The Twilight Zone confirms that the themes Serling tackled remain relevant.

If your camp is in a flood zone, don't have campers there when it floods. Consider moving your camp out of the floor zone.

How the State hasn't closed them down is insane.
How they haven't been sued or of existence by 27 families is impossible to understand.
