donât follow her too-too closely. I do think her pulling the plug in Athens, GA publicly marked a turning of the tide in national politics. Weirdly. I think âtearing the country apartâ has been the defining characteristic of US politics (both sides) since the 2000 election when idea of Red & Blue states was invented. Every candidate promises to govern on behalf of the 51% and against the other 49%. Itâs a pox on the nation. In most of the elections I vote in, in most races, the candidate runs unopposed. I understand why but I think this is disfunctional. The last opponent to seriously challenge Michael Guest was a raving lunatic who got arrested as such, soon thereafter. I stood behind him, waiting to vote, as he electioneered in the polling place before the poll-worker finally ran him off. It was with great enthusiasm I voted for Michael Guest that time. I think you have a chance of winning and I think that has a chance of being a good thing. Though pretty much anybody whoâs not in Trumpâs pocket, not Lindsey Graham level blood-thirsty for WWIII, not in Epsteinâs files, and not on AIPACâs gravy trainâIâm voting for. As for Erikaâs Red Wall? My uncle flew the Berlin airlift, as the Berlin Wall was being built, while my father was held over in Korea. When I graduated high school, The Wall topped the music charts, we all expected the âballoon to go upâ before we exceeded draft age. And I was a soldier during the ass-end of the Cold War. For people my age, who vote every time, or at least for me, the words âFortify the Red Wallâ is a red flag waved at a bull, words that would seem to demand a response. Thatâs not a fart in church, best ignored. Thatâs lighting a flag on fire and throwing it into a crowded theater. Not to be critical and God knows I couldnât do what youâre doing, but I would like to see you engage a bit more at the national level, in line with the position you seek. I know youâve got to press the flesh and kiss the babies in-state. But ⊠for Tip OâNeilâŠ
Every week #journalists in #Mississippi find space to report on some horrible thing from a prior century like it just happened yesterday.
Hey @michaelachiaradio.bsky.social, Erika Kirk says you threaten The Red Wall.
Perhaps you would care to respond.
As a child of the Cold War and a soldier of the same, I have thoughts.
But you're younger than me.
Yours may be different.
Even the pagans considered hubris a sin.
Don't be so sure.
Rightly soâ ââ the Cimmerian accent being almost indistinguishable.
âTo crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.â
I know this is from one of the Apocryphal texts, but just can't remember which one.

How did good Indians in Gandhi's India end up with such English-speaking leadership?
I support excellence in outstandingness.
Sexual misconduct is keeping your socks on.
The answer to sexual crime is punishment, vigorous punishment, a working system of justice.
What you describe is sexual discrimination: a thing we devoted decades of social turmoil to getting rid of.
It goes back up in 3 days.
Sorry to have missed you but, not so sorry as to go. One manâs opinion. But, the division is not between Left and Right, Republican & Democrat. Itâs between Crooks and not Crooks. My sense is that Delbert is straight as a f*cking arrow & I hope you 2 are on the same team.

Seems Musk & Altman are in court over chicanery of the sort endemic to 501(c)3. If Godzilla beats Kong, thereâs concern that that whole sweet deal (racket) could unravel. Good. Not easy to get me to root for a kaiju. But, not impossible, it turns out.
A pharoahâs pyramid took many years to build. Construction would need to start when he was quite young. As soon as that triumphal arch is finished, itâs not too early to get started.
Druid City Arts Fest is always a fun time. But I may skip the next tear, we'll see. I've had diminishing returns, and with the prices of everything I don't see people having a lot of spending money anytime soon. Plus it might be nice to go as a regular person. But we'll see how it goes.
Not like there's a shortage of languages being coined, now that movie producers have a linguist budget. What? Are the Dothraki jealous? The consonants are fine. And it seems silly to shout at the dead.
I don't understand what would motivate someone to heckle eo. Most heckling I can see the motivation. This, I do not.
Certainly was not getting behind "eo is awful ... (whatever comes after that)" & don't really get the motivation behind such a sentence.
Oh. And not "no meaning". Didn't mean that. Just that I don't find it compelling and sufficient.
The conservative instinct, that Old implies Good, I find meaningful, but limited.
Many would suggest the electoral college. Twelve inches to the foot might be another. Some say the QWERTY keyboard layout.
How about the other part? Elegance. No purely organic language developed by evolutionary means could have produced the table-words. I also developed a great fondness for "Äu".
