From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Just finished watching #Hamnet and will be crying buckets for days. Give Zhao and Buckley and Mescal all of the Oscar’s. All of them.

I’m all for clowning on Melania for SO many reasons, but being a “hooker” is not one of them. Did she sleep with men for money? Don’t know don’t care. I care that she’s a bad person who married an even worse person. And they bred ffs! Barron never had a chance.

@agwilliamtong.bsky.social thought you might find Amazon’s AI response amusing. For context, I was (and am still!) trying to cancel a subscribe and save item from my phone. It will let me change the quantity and the date but not the item. I told Rufus my attorney general will be hearing from me.

I am not v. familiar with corgis other than the one that lives with us, but I think he’s gigantic. Probably not fat. He was when we got him, but I think we got him to a reasonable weight that’s remained steady, but he’s still so big! Is that right #corgicrew? Last weigh-in he was about 32 LB

‘08 not ‘06! Sheesh. Oh well. What is time anyway.

The new face of the Democratic Party - and America - Salon.com Barack Obama has come to graceful terms with his mixed-race heritage. Now, as he runs for the U.S. Senate in Illinois, he's connecting with voters across the color spectrum.

I learned about Obama in an article in ‘04 and was immediately hooked, just by description. I remember his speech at the DNC, and my overwhelming feeling of pride in country when he won in ‘06.
Now, when either of the Obamas show up on my screen, I just start crying www.salon.com/2004/03/30/o...

He also could’ve said nothing. They are being very measured in their response, which is precisely what we’ve come to expect of them.

Maybe Minneapolis needs to erect one of those signs that reads: It’s been XX # of since the secret police shot and killed one of our citizens’. They’d have to reset it to zero tomorrow. This is so fucked up yo.

@delauro.house.gov let’s see your name on here too, please.

The corgi now has FIVE dog beds to choose from in the living room. We’ve been looking for beds that aren’t too high for him to step into, but able to contain his gigantic ass. The new one will hold! If he lets it.

Comments like this give republicans license to call us woke. Pigs are smart, but they’re not going to their feelings hurt over a nickname. Everyone knows what President Pig means.

‘President Pig’ was there the whole time, I just never saw it. Spot on.

Patel doesn’t seem to know that they already caught the perpetrator? Remember when you first heard about him? I do. It was Dr. Hill. I don’t remember what said, but I do remember HOW she said it. It was like: “Why is here? Who let him in? He’s a clown and has no business being here.”

This type of cartoon with the eyeballs usually makes the aaah oooh gah sound, but we think it works even better with the clown dog’s gigantic tongue.

We make sound effects for many of the elderly corgi’s hilariously cartoonish behaviors. For this one with the tongue, we go “aaah ooh-gah aaah ooh ga”

Beg to differ, Sir. THE best in history. And the smartest. Every time I vehemently disagree with her on something, I have to check myself, because every single time, there is a reason for her decision. Every single time. Dog bless you and Nancy Pelosi.
Here’s the dog I’m using to bless her.

The corgi looks like an irresistible stuffed animal that you see out of the corner of your eye at a department store and you just want to pick it up and give it a squish, but please don’t squish the corgi. He’s old and his legs hurt and he’s trying to sleep.
