thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:
"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

For anyone else dealing with this listening annoyance, you can disable Apple Music’s track crossfade feature. Having it on makes playlists less choppy, but it ruins albums with seamless track transitions (like Dark Side). Here’s the instructions support.apple.com/en-us/105067

Got banned from r/stupidfuckingliberals (don’t ask me why reddit thought to show me that cesspool) for saying statistics are hard. Serious snowflake behavior from the party of free speech and thick skin.

Defending disappearing people while refusing to say “ass” is such a great summary of Johnson
Reporter: What crime did Mahmoud Khalil commit to warrant his arrest and threatened deportation?
Mike Johnson: We are going to arrest your tail and send you home where you belong. This is just getting started. I appreciate free speech, I used to defend it in courts. This is far beyond the pale.

This is hilarious if you’re not trying to justify fascism.
This is the idea that persecution is people wanting freedoms and the right to exist.
That one group FEELS persecuted because others don’t think they should get to design the world around their supremacist ideas around race and gender.

Interesting story that gets to the heart of why many Christians feel persecuted in the U.S.: The secular elite find many of their views abhorrent and uncouth

So I guess Politico’s opinion pieces don’t bother citing facts or actual studies…just polls of the same Americans who think vitamin A is going to prevent measles… apple.news/Am5BKqmO1TOq...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

New Cato research brief: when nursing homes required staff to get the COVID vaccine, quit rates rose only modestly. Meanwhile, "for every two facilities that imposed a mandate, the mandates saved approximately one life. Given that a typical facility has only 100 residents, this is a large effect."

DID YOU KNOW that you can get a well reviewed stun gun on Amazon (or wherever) for <$30 and/or a high-powered pepper spray device with UV tracking dye for about $10 apiece - and furthermore, did you know that holidays are approaching and that these things fit inside stockings for women of all ages
