Anybody else get a message like this. Here it is 27 November, a full seventeen days after the message and sixteen days after my suspension would've gone into effect, and I'm still posting.

What do you expect from someone who would sell their personal integrity for the bargain basement price of a $20,000.00 donation to a political campaign?

Seriously, does that sound like "competent" corruption to you? What's the old saying, you get what you pay for?

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is.  And we know what causes it, too."

This one fell into place nicely. Following the most commonly used letters and most frequently used words led to the solution in three!

Maddog Greene is a major grifter. This has been her plan all along. Get elected, serve the minimum time necessary to get her Congressional pension and lifelong benefits, and get out. Now, she's Sarah Pallin and Michele Bachman. She'll snipe from the sidelines, but that's about it.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
Our Economy Is in Danger. Here’s Why

Trump lionizes MBS because (a) MBS bought him and (b) Trump wants to be like him, unafraid of openly and brutally murdering his opponents.
'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.'

The operative term here: Big Oil KNOWINGLY made a reality

What was the NAZI anthem, Gewinne! Gewinne! Gewinne Uber Alles!"

Profits! Profits! Profits Over All!

Sing the next line with me! Uber alles ganzen Welt! (Over the entire world!)
Home insurance is in crisis, and Big Oil's lies are to blame.

"We’re never going to bend the curve of ever-rising insurance costs without addressing the core driver of higher prices: the worsening climate disasters that Big Oil knowingly made a reality," explains CCI's @iylas.bsky.social.

By characterizing abortion as health care, international orgs have pushed back against abortion exceptionalism. The World Health Organization recognizes that “[a]bortion is a simple health care intervention.” Numerous countries have adopted laws and policies to align with WHO recommendations.

#ColdWeatherHack: Warm your dishes in the microwave before eating off of them. I hated grabbing ice cold dishes from the cupboard and serving my hot just cooked meals on them. Warming them up keeps the food warmer longer and everything more pleasant at mealtime.
