Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Smashed records.

Important, overlooked moment: Trump's nominee for Agriculture Secretary was questioned by Dems about mass deportations. She promised steps would be taken to avoid driving farms out of business. She admitted deportations threaten economic disruptions!

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

If you say we abandon red states, you kill a lot of dear friends of mine so fuck right off with that. We don't leave gerrymandered, vulnerable, decent people behind because of a zip code, you sanctimonious dicks.

So what I have already lived with for almost 44 years... cool cool cool 😭

this is what is happening

all I ask is that when you mention the oligarchs, please also mention that they own the communications platforms

If I see a single one of you MF’s chewing out another leftist for a minor infraction or imperfection in an era where the richest man alive is doing Nazi salutes on live television, I swear to god I’m going to personally grab you by the hair and force you to touch grass.

Here's the first of probably periodic warnings to remind yourself that the "firehose of falsehoods" disinformation tactic is about to go into full swing. You do not need to watch the news to bear witness. You do not need to watch hideous videos of violence. They will be circulated to keep you upset

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Thoughts while watching @hankgreen.bsky.social YT on weed vs gambling:
I'm a teacher at a k-2 school. Many students, 5 - 8 yo olds, come in reeking of weed. I have friends who smoke weed inside around their kids. These children are inhaling secondhand smoke and possible effects from the THC. /1

if this post gets one thousand likes I will attempt to write a Christmas movie*

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

The joy of a new social media platform is trying to find the people I followed on the old ones, especially the bird that shall not be named. I haven't been on it for a while and miss the witty people I followed.
