Cranky old writer. Bit of a contrarian and heretical nerd. Friendly, but prone to growling. Literally.
So... Ever hear of Rolling Quartz? They're a S. Korean rock band. Not KPop, but KRock. Five phenomenally talented young women who, IMO, blow more established bands out of the water. Nothing against Lovebites or Band-Maid, but RQ hits in ways they don't.

I seriously needed a break from social media. I'm tired of arguing with people. Dead tired. It does absolutely no good and usually ends up with me feeling like an asshole. So enough is enough.

People have been screaming for action from Dems for over 2 months
Recognize when Dems stand up & push back.
You may want more, but it won’t come if you scorn any & all action.
Offer some kind of public “payoff,” & more people will stand up.
Don’t fall into yet another Democratic purity test.

The sentence made the far-right leader ineligible for five years, excluding her from the 2027 election unless she can secure a more favorable outcome on appeal.

Was contacted by a former friend a few weeks ago, trying to reconnect now that the GF who insulted my wife without apology has passed. Just found out yesterday he's a Trumper now, so I don't know WHAT he was thinking. Want a mutual friend to laugh in his face for me, but he won't.

Got to the point I figured I'd go back to the beginning and start preliminary editing. My brain decided that, no, I was going to make everything worse. So I went to bed.

These people have no freakin' idea what the hell they're doing.
Our government has spent $100,000 a person to hold migrants at the Gitmo concentration camp for less than six weeks. That's about $17,000/week for each migrant. They could have stayed at a Ritz-Carlton for that.
What's this you say about government waste and efficiency, Elon?

Here's the thing. I've never been in the class that could think of vacationing in a foreign country. Vacation means I don't have to do the shit my boss says for a week or two. For you it means going somewhere cool. We are not the same.

Sometime very soon we’re going to have to have the conversation about how many so-called progressives also wanted “DEI” to die & what all that mainstream endorsement of the propaganda around what at their essence were integration efforts says about people who believe themselves to be the good guys.

Unless you absolutely dedicate yourself to do the best you can as long as you can for everyone around you, fame is unlikely to be worth much in the end. It's fleeting, so what's the point of chasing it as if it's its own reward? How could it be?

Richard Chamberlain apparently came out at the age of 68.
Glad he was able to do it finally. So many people got to be who they really are, in a brief moment of time before the need for perfect tore the crap out of good enough to bear our standard.

Cannot be emphasized enough:
Barack Obama successfully negotiated a deal to stop Iran's nuclear program.
Trump, having inherited a vastly improved situation with Iran, deliberately tore it up.
The fact that they are now on the verge of having nuclear weapons is entirely his fault.
