It really doesn't matter which color crayon that you use to connect the dots, as long as you take the time to fully appreciate the shape it makes.

Definitely a little out there--even for Joe Rogan. Still--I feel that I should point out how "insane" and dangerous it is to interpret any ancient human texts of popular mythology as literal accounts of reality--rather than stories heaped with metaphor and allegory.

I tried that during my last rare appearance at a family gathering. It works until your rogue-gone-cop cousin targets you in a thinly-veiled public attempt at fishing for local drug intel, then you try shifting the bad vibes with edible-fueled and blatantly ridiculous jokes until he stops. #GoodTimes

The Trump regime isn't the first gang that comes to mind when I think of the term "professional." ...Unless we're talking about assholes.

The family last heard that Sonia Corona (formerly Parris) was being transferred to a Louisiana "ICE detention facility" (concentration camp) on the 21st. Unsurprisingly, no further information on the mother of two's current status has been provided or made publicly available by her abductors.

Tolerance and acceptance may be vital to the continued existence of our species, but the bias of Christian Nationalism aims for neither...

"But my words like silent raindrops fell
