Every now and then, it’s good to have a reminder, “Don’t Be a Sucker.”

I absolutely agree!
Corporations aren’t people, money isn’t free speech, and we need to End Citizens United.

Repost if you agree.

I shared the final speech from Charlie Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator,” about 3 months ago. Listen to the cadence of the speech: he begins talking just to himself, almost apologetic. He then makes his argument. Finally, during the long close up he builds and pulls us all in.
Just brilliant. UNITE!
I was today years old when I first saw this wonderful piece of cinema. As insightful today as it was over 80 years ago. Unite!

I keep thinking of the 1964 John Frankenheimer movie, “Seven Days in May.” The idea of creating a media spectacle in LA to focus the nation’s attention while dozens of tanks and thousands of troops deploy in the nation’s capital on Flag Day does not give me warm fuzzies.

Outstanding!!! 🎉🎊
I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

Message begins:
“I think Taylor Swift is still hotter than a thousand supernovas and Bruce Springsteen is still The Boss of the fucking universe.”
Message ends.

Every time I enter or leave my house there is a car driving by, or someone walking, biking, or jogging past.
Every. Single. Time.
I’m on a dead end street with 18 houses. When do I finally admit that the universe is keeping tabs on me?

(Or that I’m a raging paranoid neurotic?)

Here’s my question: if the goal is to establish a uniform ID throughout the nation, then why in the wide, wide world of sports are some states choosing a different symbol to designate what is a Real ID? Most use a star, but California and Washington each use a different symbol.
Real stupID. #RealID

Seven years ago, for International Tabletop Day, we gathered down at the local library to 1) play board games and 2) support libraries.
Two great activities.

Yes, it’s a small town community theater group, but I still find it fun to audition. #communitytheater

My town is small enough that we still have an ice cream truck that prowls the neighborhoods looking for fresh victims. Every time I hear that creepy-ass calliope music Doppler into and out of hearing range, I have a small panic attack. 🍦🤡 🚚🎶

Carved out some time yesterday to play the solo game, Unreliable Wizard. I had a lot of fun with it, even though my guy was crushed almost halfway through the game.
I need to play it again to salvage what’s left of my honor! 😂

Got to remove a couple of games from my “Shelf of Opportunity,” tonight: Circus Flohcati and Beard Wizards. CF is a set collection card game that plays in about 15 minutes and BW can take over an hour. Enjoyed myself quite a bit.

This redbud is near my house, and it just seemed like a good idea to get a picture of it.

So grateful to have this total psychopath as my representative in Congress.

Jess Piper, @piperformissouri.bsky.social is one of the few people in Missouri still willing to address the issues that affect the masses, and one of the very few to call out the foolishness of the powerful.
When she speaks, I listen!
Send it back to the states, right? Bullshit.

We overturned the abortion ban at the ballot in November. I’m so sick of these jackasses.

The people spoke. Move on.
