Been left of center since the 60s. Love older rock and funk. Passionate about water. Teacher. Retired water plant troubleshooter. No DMs. Oh, did I say no DMs. Only if we have been following each other for a while.

Miss it. There was a Slovenian/Armenian shop in Maple Heights. I bought cottage ham and sausages from there a few times. I grew up in Cleveland and really miss the bagel shops on Fairmont Circle, the Jewish bakeries, Italian deli and ethnic sausage shops.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Big Oil’s Three-Decade Plot to Kill America’s Clean Energy Revolution

In 1988, the U.S. was in prime position to dominate the industry for decades to come. But thanks to fossil fuel giants, China is instead the world’s superpower in renewables.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

I can walk today. Listened to Broncos game. Cleaned out about 1/2 my compost container. Going to have to clean up and buy groceries. Hope SNAP benefits make it through the bureaucratic pipeline soon. There are two teenagers here.

Something weird going on on BS. I followed one person in a group of ten, the rest disappear. I block a young person and thither eight in that group disappears. Oh, and why is the word nubile blocked by spellchecker?

BREAKING - President Obama:

"They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"
