I have a renewed respect for the ancients who were able to live full, productive and creative lives before the advent of electricity. After 18-hours in the dark across the entire Iberian Peninsula, modernity has returned...and with it, sanity, connectivity and hot coffee. #apagón #spainblackout2025

It's easy to compare 47, who went golfing on our dime while the country tanked to Nero who fiddled while Rome burned. Nero actually was at his villa and returned to help Rome by setting up relief efforts - and the fiddle wasn't even invented yet. So 47 'trumps' Nero, and that's pretty bad.

MAGA is the biggest cult of personality since Islam and Christianity. Ever try to reason with a zealot about science, free will or diversity? Remember it was a 30-30-30 divide: him, her or didn't vote at all. Read your history...before they ban those books too.

Beware the Ides of March! The parallels to today are pretty uncanny...more than just the anniversary of the assassination of Julius Caesar, or how I commonly refer to him, my husband's direct ancestor (67 generations)'s wife's uncle. #idesofmarch

This is horribly disturbing but I guess Donald J. Krasnov under the stern leadership of Presidents Putin and Musk, shouldn’t surprise anyone. If you think a video of a golden shower was bad, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Partichik since 1987.

Elon Musk stole $80.5 million in FEMA funds from New Yorkers, but Mayor Adams won't fight back because he's beholden to Trump.

I can’t pretend to be a fan of Kendrick Lamar, but the halftime show was brilliant. The outpouring of hate only spotlights a racist society but now, hate is supported and rewarded by the regime.

Heartbreaking that trans people's passports cannot be renewed - or maybe used in some places. 20 million Americans DIDN'T vote at all and who knows how many votes weren't counted because Starlink crunched numbers. The difference would've made a difference.
