I recently acquired The Oregon Trail card game. Seemed appropriate for the times we are currently living through.

“You have died of dysentery”

Picture of The Oregon Trail card game. “You have died of dysentery”.

That’s what I thought. My grandparents are buried at the foothills below the rabbit ears. I was born in las cruces.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

CBS, ABC and Disney are all dead to me. The list is actually longer but they are the top of the list.

Conservative christian leaders just can’t stop touching kids. Their followers keeping overlooking it which tells me there are more of them that have not been caught yet. The christian right supports pedophiles. Maybe we need to impose the death penalty on these sick fucks as a good deterrent.

The reason this is important to understand is that this is exactly what all MAGA types think a debate is; when in actuality, all they want to do is deride and bully.

A campus is a great place for emotional vampires to prey.

I was in my 30s when I went back to college.
I opted not to take every debate; because, I knew, as did my debate team, that I could beat just about any young student.

It is never an easy decision. There is no good day to pick. I have been there many times and it never gets easier. You will make the decision that’s best for your cat. So sorry.

Mmmmmmmm. You smell of oranges.

Remember that there are some people that are kind, inspirational, and positive. We need more people like that.

Today in history:
On Sept. 28, 1928, Scottish medical researcher Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, the first effective antibiotic.

Yay for science!

So sorry for your loss. A beautiful cat.

That’s great nextstar & Sinclair want to air jimmy Kimmel. To little to late. They showed their cards, they tried to censor speech with the FCC. They even tried to demand a donation to TPUSA. Continue to boycott the advertisers. Watch on YouTube. Make it hurt. Never forget never forgive.

We don’t live in a world where the electoral college or Gerrymandering should exist. End them. One person, one vote. Period.

It's an abusive relationship. It's unhealthy.

So sorry for your loss. All you can do is support and encourage as I am sure you are doing. If he came on Bluesky he would quickly have a network of friends through you and those that follow you. Also there is so many videos of red pandas I don’t know how anyone could resist. I love red pandas.
