I know it's a regional thing on the other side of the country but if a dude defends a Nazi tat then that speaks to both his judgment when he got it and his emotional maturity and priorities right now.
OK, you were a teenage edgelord. Did you grow the fuck up?
Not enough to own it and get rid of it.

I noticed (with some gratitude) the blocklist of Fed agencies that just set up here.
Just went through a similar thing over on FB. The Admin is making a social-media putsch, to salvage some relevance I guess.
Time for blocking.

There is a difference between “this serves as a distraction” and “this was created solely as a distraction” that apparently some folks have difficulty with.

Regardless of party or ideology, launching bombing raids with neither direct provocation nor Congressional approval should be grounds for impeachment. The President doesn't have the authority to start a war on his own whim, full stop.
If Biden or Obama had done this, there would be howls.

The "inherent authority" argument can be extended to literally anything, making the President an unchecked dictator. Pretty sure that's not what the Constitution is all about.

I'm about halfway through Alexandra Fuller's memoir of growing up in post-colonial Africa (Rhodesia and Zambia, so far), "Don't Let's Go To The Dogs Tonight". It's rough, and thought-provoking.

1/12 Like a lot of people I've been hearing and thinking about the recent revelations that Neil Gaiman is apparently a rather nasty abusive sex-pest. I'm a fan of his work, and worse Corey knew him and considered him a friend, so it hits kind of hard.

I don't want to be a good person.
I want to do good things, if I know what the good thing IS. But if I hurt someone by accident or through carelessness, I darn well should own it, apologize, try to fix it and do better, not weasel out by claiming I'm a "good person". I'd rather do the right thing.
