Some days, it's very hard to live by the principles of Dudeism. I have to remind myself regularly what they are:

To just take it easy;
To be dude (easygoing) to everyone I meet;
To keep my mind limber.

The Dude abides. And so shall we.

If one Afghan nationalist shooter means all Afghan nationalists are evil, wait until I tell you about white male shooters.

Love seeing Memphis featured in the New York Times “36 Hours” guide. Great food, great music, great people — it’s all here.

Read what the Times had to say, or better yet come visit and see for yourself why we think Memphis is great!
36 Hours in Memphis
Eat at beloved bare-bones rib joints, pay pilgrimage to Elvis’s rhinestone-studded jumpsuits and tap into the new and nostalgic sounds of the city.

Imagine taking the money it would cost and creating great public transit systems in Nashville and Memphis -- including a high-speed train joining the cities.
Imagine a trip to Nashville that takes just minutes. 🚗💨

The company behind the underground tunnels in Tennessee's capital is considering expanding them across the state. t.ly/SrYfw

The injustices against our community continue today. While Mayor Paul Young and Chief of Police CJ Davis say security isn't making immigration arrests, here we prove otherwise. Plus they are separating FAMILIES They are discriminating against us

Republics and democracies are socialistic by design.

"We the People"

The people choose or the people choose the people that choose.

In a capitalistic state the owners choose.

My light woo is trees. You will never get me to believe that each tree doesn't have its own "soul", spirit, numen, whatever you want to call the essence of life that makes a being the thing it is.
My light woo is Rainbow Bridge. In all other aspects of my life I am (or at least try to be) coldly logical. While I don't *believe* in RB as such, I dearly hope that when I leave the meat suit, I'm reunited with all the animals I've known and loved. Even if it's just a dying dream.
My light woo is that I am a hardline atheist, skeptic, and old codger who don't believe in nothin', all nihilist style.

...and yet I put up 4 altars on this homestead, dedicated to the ancient mythology of the proto-Navajo spirits. I've experienced some wacky paranormal shit in my life...

"Megyn Kelly ... [you're] making abuse sound like a technicality."
#MegynKelly is the #GhislaineMaxwell who defends pedophiles because she's more talk show than attorney. That lack of basic legal knowledge is known even to children. She should be disbarred, for misrepresenting the law, and disinformation.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

Good point.
Just a reminder to folks that the Coast Guard isn’t under the DoD. It’s under DHS. It’s a pretty safe bet that Kristi Noem personally ordered the initial changes.
