More distraction though, because Iran.

Here is a fun nostalgic post with several pictures of my McD's toys.

I'm convinced that people who hate THAC0 found subtraction too hard. All kidding aside, I do like the D20 system too. #THAC0 #D&D

I didn't realize that battlematic Kelek was a chonk! But I love the color and how pronounced the dagger is on this build. I'll have to see if I can hunt for one online!

Part of the second wave. These toys were such a blast--my cousin and I would take them outside and have adventures in the dirt, creeks, trees, make forts, imagine attacks. The works. So much fun being a kid.

Turning your back on hundreds of years of medicine to watch your child die and own the libs.

An elderly woman in a wheelchair, filling out her 2024 ballot, rolling by and cheering, laughing showing everyone the big box she had filled for Trump. Others laughing and applauding as she submits her paper ballot to the vote counting machine. She wheels herself to the elevator, alone.

I'm shocked--her voice is going leave a huge void. The witty take-downs, the analysis, the realness. Genuinely stunned, and sad, and worried.

What in the literal hell?

"And people who have no hope are easy to control." -The Wolf Beast in The Never Ending Story.

"And that's what we do, we take the hope away." Donald J Trump when referring to the Immigrants coming to our border during his first term in office. Those were his exact words.

This may seem like a minor concern--but that |paid| flag means that US Taxpayer money is being used to boost her message to the Xittler audience, which is more tax money in the hands of Musk. Its sickening to me how they aren't even ashamed of it.

I care. But the problem is educating the public...its exhausting to try and overcome the Fox propaganda. Just some basic history of the 20th century, some math, a little bit of world history, and basic 3.0 essay critical thinking skills would go a long way.

Bravo!

My thoughts as well. He knew exactly what he was doing.

I've been told it was a benign salute, even used in Star Trek. I have to inform them that was the Mirror Mirror episode, and the Kirk and Spock doing that salute were EVIL.

I'm going to cry because of their ignorance.

The Musk apologists are now saying the Roman salute was used in the original Star Trek--usually with a gif or image. I pointedly inform them that they should watch the episode because that is the EVIL version of Spock and Kirk from the episode Mirror Mirror! IE, the salute is associated with evil.

BBC not buying the gaslighting

ABCNews announces Marco Rubio is Secretary of State. This is the man who did nothing to help Parkland Students in the wake of a school shooting--all while Fox pundits and friends labelled them crisis actors. He can't help 15 year old kids; so, he certainly isn't fit to be Sec of State.

Alcoholic swears off alcohol without going into rehab or a 12 step program? Really?

Some say there are no stupid questions. I'd venture to say that there are some stupid questions, and they usually come at the very tail end of online meetings after we have wrapped up the session twice now and tried to leave, but someone has "just another thought...."

I'm merely pointing out that if in 1972, Fisher Price was mindful and apolitical enough to create this toy wearing a mask for health and safety, anti-covid(ers) could have done the same thing in 2020-2021.

Please lead the way and just leave Twitter.

To be fair, they want to turn the US into Russia; so, they equate the two in their minds.

'This town is not for them.' Residents react to white Christian nationalists moving to Tennessee YouTube video by NewsChannel 5

White christian nationalists planning to take over small town to wield vast influence in local policy. Right in my backyard. Damn.

I mean...of everybody to pick on and bully, Trump has to go after Canada. Talk about grabbing the smart kid's milk off their tray!

Speaker Johnson announced yesterday in an interview that everyone was welcome in the House, and they welcome Sara. What a freaking piece of work. Hope they are ready to pass a bill to build her a bathroom. Pissing seems like a human right and dignity.

I have discovered that the iced coffee setting on my keurig makes a nice cup of cold coffee (albeit a bit harsher) than the time it takes to make my coldbrew. And since I add a lot of love (sugar, coca, milk, etc.); well, I hardly notice the difference.
