Very left of center. Have husband and cats. Had kids, but they got out. Knew I should have had them chipped. Left that other place when NepoBaby bought it. Writes and takes photographs. Deals with stress by cooking and baking bread. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if a president says, in his outside voice, that he hates a big swath of the American people, that should be grounds for immediate removal.

I’m of the opinion that if the networks are too spineless to air comedians, they should just go old school and run test patterns after the nightly news.

Listen, people have been legit loosing their minds that Fox talking head Brian Kilmeade said that homeless people should be euthanized, except he didn't use that word.
He said Kill, in his outside, on air voice. He said "Just kill 'em."
He should lose his job, and be charged with hate speech.

Alrighty. Please explain why members of congress are now worried about their safety after the assassination (which I condemn) of Charlie Kirk, but were unperturbed by the killing, at home, of Representative Melissa Hortman, along with her husband and FFS, their dog?

Today is the 62nd anniversary of the "I have a dream" speech. Like #MLK, I hope there comes a time when all people "will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Of course, that will be a problem for some.

Even if you don't follow art, you've seen Amy Sherald's work; she's the painter of Michelle Obama's portrait. She canceled her Smithsonian show because they wanted to pull a painting that might upset the Felon-in-Chief. BTW, I considered it the strongest in the show.
