A hands down favorite at #NoKings protest in Greenville SC today. #GreenvilleSC

A man dressed as Marty McFly standing behind a policeman holding a sign that points at the policeman and says "Stand Up to Bullies".

Welcome to #NoKings Deep South edition. Greenville, SC was popping today. And not a single media outlet was there, just podcasters, vloggers, and photogs like me. Let 'em know we are not all hillbilly MAGAts down here, please. Feel free to share!

Why am I an analog guy? Lot's of reasons, but the biggest at the moment? We just changed our internet services and my roommate has to move 3 fully loaded bookshelfs to get to his smart bar to reset it. Then he will have to change the logins for each one. I can just go back to my movie.

I just watched outtakes of Grace Bumbry as Carmen in von Karajan's production. My Gods that woman could sing, and act. I've got to try to find the whole film now. #Bumbry #Karajan #Carmen #Opera

People saying the teacher being arrested or should be beaten up were allowed to stand, by the way. #ACLU #wyff 3 of 3

What did I say? I said that if Charlie Kirk could exercise his right's to free speech, so could the Clemson teacher who was fired today for his FB posts. I also noted that said teacher could contact the ACLU and challenge his firing based on that post. #ACLU #wyff 2 of 2

This is funny. Ladies and gents and enbys - my comment on #wyff (SC Channel 4.1 ) meteorologist's Chris Justice's post on Free Speech and Charlie Kirk was removed and I have banned from making further comments. (Post dealt with local college firing teacher after his FB posts) #ACLU 1 of 2

his. I have no idea how to play American football, baseball, or soccer. I have never played Monopoly or Poker. I learned Scrabble at the age of 40 something, and D&D in my late 30s.

Whelp. All of my mail is arriving damaged or opened. Especially items dealing with my political views or certain charities I give to. This is a federal crime and has been reported. I have included photos and security cam footage.

She is fine. I am amazed that worked, that my subconscious brain did it, and now I seriously hurt. At least I was able to protect my own head, face, neck, and torso by rolling with her. But she is fine. Thank God. Utterly unhurt.

Damn it, tho, Ditto.

I was able to catch her as she fell off the desk and I rotated the chair, pulled her head out, realized I was off balance and going to fall, tucked her into my chest and took the momentum of the fall to the ground on my left elbow, knee, and ankle... (continued)

My idiot cat just tried to hang herself from a great height. She fell off the top of my rolltop desk, rolled to the front edge, fell again, got her head caught in one of my wooden chair;s back rungs and was about to swing... (continued)

Microrant: I miss seasons. When I was a lad, even in NC, USA, Spring and Fall were real things that actually happened. And Winter and Summer were also real but perhaps tamer. Now we go from So Cold My Arse Fell Off/Rainy Season to Bug-infested Drought/Monsoon Inferno Season, and I hate it.
