We'll be posting the same on our Mastodon and Bluesky accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

The suffering that will be unleashed on Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos is horrific. And that's not because they have "raped" America. It's because they're poor, they can't afford many US goods but they can become wealthier by exporting to rich countries.

These are the same people who lost the Civil War, whose belief system lost in World War 2, who lost colonial wars that came after, who lost in apartheid. These people are losers, and they’re dreadfully afraid they are losing again. And they should be, because they’re going to keep losing.

Wow

The kitchen is often annoyingly low on food on a Sunday evening.

I've found ChatGPT to be great for suggesting a recipe based on a handful of ingredients I do have in.

This does not look good.

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart.

Don’t sell against the competition.
