One of the fun symptoms of #Fibro is "brain fog". For instance, I got into work last week and the boss pointed out I had a different shoe on each foot. No shit. You gotta laugh or you'll cry!
Being beaten up by fibro is why I post intermittently.

Not New Zealand though. Thanks for the ongoing global humiliation, Wingnut Government.

I know Trump has a pathological need to be the centre of attention, but I bet he hates the mockery at making a complete tit of himself on the international stage every week.

My very favourite writer...
“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”

Not to be confused with 'moron'.

‘Maroon’ (color) derives from the French ‘marron,’ which is the Spanish name for a chestnut.
Before becoming a color name, ‘maroon’ referred to a loud firework.
Supposedly, people associated the noise of a chestnut bursting in a fire to an exploding firework.

Tech bros get frustrated with politics, which involves painstaking, often frustrating communication & compromise with other people who have different backgrounds & perspectives, so their approach is always to wish it away: a brand new city! a brand new political party! this one weird trick!

He bought Twitter so he'd have people to talk to. He bought the POTUS so he'd have people cheer for him. He'd have had both if he'd just chosen to be the world's greatest philanthropist instead of a mass murderer. But the richest man in the world is a pathetic lonely, needy, broken, dangerous man.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?
