I‘ve been Claude Rains since the days of Usenet. Shocked? Invisible most of the time. Photography, dogs playing, caretaker & cook. Urbanism, more bike paths…please? Drives a big, blue TARDIS.

We have the #FIFA #WorldCup & the #Olympics coming to the U.S. next year, and the Land of the Free is awash with #measles & #WhoopingCough?
If you're coming to the States for these events, I would strongly suggest an MMR Titer Test. www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

Seriously, did you ever wonder why the (R)’s are so worked about the Dept of Education? Also, where did that Old Man from NYC get his fascination for tariffs from?
I watched Netflix’s DEATH BY LIGHTNING ⚡️ and I feel like I got a small amount of insight.
TL;DW? Corruption.

Just watched DEATH BY LIGHTNING on Netflix. I learned a lot, and it led me to reading the Wikipedia page on James Garfield & Chester Arthur. Really interesting.
They used Hanni El Khatib’s version of a Louis Armstrong song, and it’s more edgy. It slaps. Can you relate? youtu.be/Dmfy_5nAH_U?...

This story scared the Hell out of me.
There's not just one man. The machinery is pretty much in place, not just for Trump, but for anyone.
God Damn Mitch McConnell for betraying us into this nightmare. He could have stopped it, in 2020, with following through & convicting upon his impeachment.

That sound you heard was every GOP elected official with a lick of sense absolutely SHITTING themselves thinking about the visual of Mark Kelly back in uniform before a military court as Whiskey Pete's handpicked chucklefucks try to railroad him on bogus charges.

Man, living in Nazi America is just one slimy intrusion by the state into day-to-day life, after another. Even the corporations are dragooned into it.
For Example, #Sling presents favorite channels on the Home screen. I watch FauxNews maybe once or twice a year, max, so, not a fav.

Declaring the “case, along with a separate prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James, have stirred concerns that the Justice Department is being weaponized to pursue President Donald Trump’s political opponents” is like saying Steerage on the Titanic is damp.

So, I had a nice , relaxing Sunday afternoon, on the couch, sipping Swiss Miss & finishing up season 2 of C.O.B.R.A., watching fictional characters handling government crisis, and when I plug back in to what we laughingly call Reality, the POTUS is jibbering nonsense about Venezuela & this 🤪 chyron

They released the entire prison population of Venezuela into the United States…”
And they’re all here to eat the dogs and the cats, right?
I can’t believe that USN admirals are sailing carrier groups around under his orders, with his clearly escalating madness. I just hope no one’s killed.

It true. That was probably the best game I’ve ever seen.
Now that was a World Series...
So proud of our BlueJays. They made them earn it.
Congratulations to the Dodgers and their fans!
