I've got a PBS mind in a TikTok world. Dweller along the south shore of Lake Erie, I'm a thinker and a philosopher. #GenX #JCU
Funny how it works out this way.

I hate each and every member of Congress that voted to cause this. May there be a pox on your family and descendants. Everything that orange one touches turns to shit.

A political party, when you get down to it's core, is basically a business. When any business is struggling, there is always a move to try and find an external cause. Our pay isn't competitive is a really common one, or in this case, "people are stupid or mean" becomes an easy answer. 1/2

Growing up in the 1970's, I loved America, not because anyone told me to but because everyone around me loved America. If we are to the point where the government tells us to love America or lose school funding, we've fallen off the propaganda (dah comrade) cliff.

What if global warming is like a fever for the earth, a reaction to this pestilence harming it, destroying its balance? Aren't we just assuring our own extinction by helping the process along? We can't destroy the earth. We are just making it uninhabitable for our species. Nature, huh?

Separated from wolves by 6 million years of evolution, the pups are genetically modified grey wolves, not dire wolves. There is no de-extinction. Very interesting read.

All my guys! As a survivor I urge you to remember men have a need for self examination too! It saved my life and could save yours. If you find something get checked out. If found early it's almost 100% curable!

I've seen a number of videos from yesterday's protests where people were wondering where the teens were. They say it is pretty much millennials, Xers, and Boomers. For those who attended one of the protests, was that your experience?

I just watched a wonderful documentary, on PBS, about the fight to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act. It made me sad watching a functioning government doing important things. Will we ever see that again?

When the executive denies the judicial, the break in our "honors system" democracy become reality. At that point, with the legislative branch refusing to do it's job, that leaves the citizenry. Jefferson said when the government fails to be by the people and for the people it rests with the 1/2
