Kirk shooter is rather unsurprisingly not trans, nor Black, and comes from a nice white Republican background.

Watch that uncomfortable silence grow, between the cracks of the Horst Wesseling.

More protest in the streets and chanting. It’s not midnight, so it’s probably not Nazis.

It’s cold and it seems like a good idea to stay inside and warm.

Smitten has had blood tests done and they have hilariously shaved her neck and now she looks like she has had a tasty cat sized bite taken out of her.

It is most disconcerting.

Waking up to the saddest of news - one of our world’s great teachers, leaders and helpers, John O’Brien, has passed.

It has been too many years since I saw you, John. But perhaps we will meet again.

Thank you for your lifelong work for disabled people, my friend. Vale.

I'm too old and tired to be taking my clothes off again to make a point, and so are the rest of us.

But here is the dirt on the new, secret deal by @RogerCookMLA and the Feds- an ill-informed decision made under the cover of darkness.

Please *SHARE*.

The image shows a Facebook Marketplace-style listing from a group called “Longview Classifieds: WA” posted by Kristene Heeney. The listing advertises: “Custom made 1/8 mild steel Tesla cyber truck fire pit. Made locally.” Three photos in the post display the item: • A fire pit shaped like a miniature Tesla Cybertruck, made from dark steel, with flames and logs burning inside. • The construction is boxy, angular, and designed to mimic the look of Tesla’s Cybertruck, including stylised wheels. • The fire pit is set on a concrete or patio surface in an outdoor setting, with trees and garden features visible in the background. The listing states the item is priced at $150, located in Kalama, WA. The product is titled: “Cyber truck fire pit.” It’s a pretty brilliant mix of industrial design and internet humour—burning logs in a steel effigy of a symbol of high-tech capitalism.

The truest quote.

The general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know.

Love it when the NDIA accidentally share their top secret up and coming files with participants. Who, in the spirit of the public service, shared it with our community.

Read it and weep.

If only they knew.

Vote for the people who will put billionaires last and ordinary people - the people who need the most support - first.

Today, my prosthetic eye arrived.

It is not my first prosthetic eye.

The others I have had were vintage.

I have left them to various people in my will. Mostly because I’m a bastard.

To be clear, I don’t NEED a prosthetic eye.

But you never know. And I am PREPARED.
