Ornery, ancient, curious. Chicagoan in exile in Indiana. Politically engaged since 1964 and now in (how can it possibly be?) 2025, I can say with confidence, this is every bit as bad as you think.

Terre Haute Indiana shows up and makes some good noise. No Kings!

Woke up to this piece of crap in my email. Came from a so-called SSA subscription service. First time I've rec'd one of those. I've yet to pay Fed Taxes on my SS benefits and I've been collecting them for 10+ years.

It is so easy to propel the propaganda when you control all the levers. Grrrrrr

Great to see. My first political rally consisted of walking around the Post Office in Iowa City. It was 1964. Still doing them. This was in Terre Haute Indiana today with my granddaughter and one of her friends. Passing the torch...

I most certainly don't support the rambling loon, but I do keep some loose screws in my basement. Never know when you might need a screw, eh?

I'm sure this is part of the officially, seriously, intelligence gathering ICE agent approved kit. Spotted on the shoulder of one of the brownshirts who arrested Mayor Baraka.

Sodden Terre Haute Indiana gets in on the act. About 250 people who "really care and will fight against Trump" is how my 11 year old granddaughter put it. She was stoked by it all!

So happy with my new envelopes from @maproom.bsky.social. They spent 5 days roaming around Indianapolis, something I would wish on no one, but otherwise they arrived none the worse for wear. ♥️

I think it's about time this oldie was brought back for a little encore. Never felt it to be more true in all the years since I first stole it.

And your face must have looked like mine did reading this.

Banks is a freaking dumb ass Hoosier and Hoosiers love their wheels. Oh, how they love 'em. Especially when they do this. He's breathed in too much diesel exhaust.

Yes, he is nothing if not a celebrity and a showman. You may have read this book originally publ. in 1985. Postman's prediction has come to pass for far too many.
