Bruce Lee would have been 85 this year.
Bruce Lee screen cap from The Big Boss (1971). Text reads "What is your religious affiliation? "None whatsoever." Do you believe in God? "To be perfectly frank, I really do not."

BREAKING: National guard member Sarah Beckstrom has died after shooting in Washington DC

Headlines should pose questions. This headline should have read…

WV national guard member has died after Wednesday shooting in Washington DC

…That way, we can all ask: WTF was a WV guard member doing in DC?

God is an atheist? Here's an oldie but a goodie...

Hey Jesus-loving Republican Christians!

Here’s a challenge for the righteous…

Instead of posting the 10 Commandments on every public school classroom wall, maybe post Matthew 25:35-40?

I DARE YOU to post the actual words of Jesus!

I support #NoKings.

But 7M people is just 2% of the US population.

Can we get to 3.5%?

(Most of you know what I’m getting at…)

Who says it can’t happen here? It’s already happening here.

One might have assumed that the invitation of fascists to the White House, where their calls for the political suppression and violent overthrow of constitutionally protected rights were endorsed by the president, would have been answered with a storm of protests. But nothing of the sort has happened. The open embrace of fascists in the White House has been met with near-total indifference from the political and media establishment. No leading Democrat—including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, or Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders—has issued a single statement on the gathering of neo-Nazis and white supremacists in the executive mansion. The major network TV news programs gave it no coverage. The Washington Post, the principal newspaper covering the nation’s capital, has nothing on the front page of its website. The New York Times, the main media organ of the Democratic Party, published only a perfunctory report focused narrowly on Trump’s claim to have “taken away freedom of speech,” omitting any reference to the fascistic threats and declarations made by the participants.

It seems clear to me that the Fossil Fuel Agenda is to kill renewables. Why? If the FFA keeps us tied to extracted energy, we lose the freedom from corporate sovereignty that renewable energy can provide.

As some of you know, I’m an audiobook narrator (for almost 45 years now). You also know what I think of AI voices. This message appeared in my feed on Audible. It’s frightening in two ways: Creating a replica of my voice might put me out of work, but also, what if the replica is GOOD?
You have early access to voice replica narration. Produce more audiobooks faster by creating a virtual voice that sounds like you. /Create voice replica/
