The people who tell me I'm going to hell are praying around a gold statue of their pedophile god.
You can tell a lot about someone by who their enemies are. Trump's enemy is apparently the Southern Poverty Law Center. You know, the group that exposes Klansmen and Nazis. Says volumes, doesn't it?

@redsad@ohai.social Agreed, and I would add, don't really pay attention to anyone telling how you should use the Fediverse. If you like it, keep doing it the way you are doing it.

When you purge all the leftists from your "left" party to appease Nazis, you get more Nazis. This isn't hard to figure out, yet they always make the same mistake. Which makes me think that when it comes down to it, they are absolutely fine with Nazis.
Tomorrow is also the 200th anniversary of the deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. It would be nice to replicate that. Maybe both Trump and Biden can kick the bucket to honor the anniversary.
I see all the online experts on foreign policy have suddenly become experts on FIFA rules and officiating. #WorldCup
I've been re-watching The Wire. The one thing that confounds me is they got the most Irish looking motherfucker in the world to play a guy named Carcetti.
I hope that Tom Kean will now advocate for Medicaid for All and for every American to be granted four months of paid leave in order to be hospitalized for mental health treatment like he had.
I'm getting pretty good at this cleaning thing. I'm looking at it as job training for my future job as a house husband. Now I just need to find someone rich to pay all the bills while I keep house and do the cooking and cleaning. Any offers?
What would happen if we expended as much time, money, and effort on developing human intelligence as we are spending developing artificial intelligence?
Well, Virginia tried things the peaceful way by voting on getting the Nazis the fuck out. Guess the Virginia Supreme Court prefers the violent way. Hope they're the first to get it.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @joynewacc@mastodon.social @riverbirchtree@mastodon.social Thank you for everything you are doing. Truly. To see smiling faces of those escaping hell on earth brings me to tears.
You know, posts aren't an invitation to a debate, right?

@AnarchoNinaWrites@jorts.horse I love watching the WNBA. It's fantastic basketball. And I'm glad that the players are finally getting paid.
I love the WNBA. The "non-profit of the night" at the Liberty - Sun game is Sapphic Setup. They know their audience and they lean into it.

@AnarchoNinaWrites This is exactly what I was thinking. Either a news outlet is about to drop an investigation with receipts, or Iran is going to drop the goods.
All this talk of guillotines, when a wood chipper, while not necessarily more efficient, is definitely more satisfying to my current level of blood lust.
Perhaps we should be bombing Israel instead.
Every commercial break in this basketball game has an ad for the suicide hotline. Is there something going on that would cause one to have suicidal ideation?
If trump was playing Texas Hold Em he'd just go all in on every hand.
The World Cup really should have thought hard about having the tournament in the US where few actually watch football, but everyone thinks they are experts on everything and wants to argue about it. My head is hurting with these inane "controversies" Americans are coming up with. 🙄

As it is I expect to see mass civil violence by the end of the summer as these bastards restrict more and more to feed their authoritarian fantasies.

@CharlieMcHenry I'll keep not trusting the government even in the unlikely event that this happens.
I was listening to First Wave on Sirius XM this morning and the song "Hitsville UK" by The Clash came on. If you are familiar with the song, it has a female lead singer on it. I decided to look up who the singer on the song was and it sent me down a brief rabbit hole.
The singer was Ellen Foley. My fellow olds may remember her as the short-haired public defender in the second season of Night Court. She would be replaced the next season by Markie Post who remained on the show for the remainder of the series.
Now, I knew that Ellen Foley did have a singing career. She is best known as the female singer in Meatloaf's "Paradise By The Dashboard Light." But I had no idea about her ties to The Clash.
She sang on two Clash songs (and one unreleased song). She also sang backup on some of their other hits. In addition to this, all members of The Clash played on one of her solo albums which was produced by Mick Jones. Lastly (and this blew my mind) the song "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" is about her relationship with Mick Jones.
The more you know. 🌠

To put a finer point on it, I saw at least 5 articles this week in UK press warning of the rise of the Green Party (none about the far right Reform UK party which saw the biggest gains in yesterday's election), in case you were wondering where these assholes are coming from.

Well, I guess there is but it involves watering the tree of freedom.
