I'm hearing that poor and disabled people won't get SSI/SSDI money during this government shutdown because the administration is expected to do everything differently. I can't find a source on this other than the lady that works in the main office in my town. Anybody know how accurate this is?

I'm very happy to be living in the blue state of New Mexico, where I can speak my mind without fear of reprisal. I have friends in my home state of Talibama who would lose their jobs for criticizing tRUMP. But I have to thank tRUMP for converting my 2 sisters from conservative to somewhat liberal

Odysseus tenses. The words which flowed readily from his lips remain stuck in his throat; the arrow is drawn, but he cannot find it in him to release it—and so the bow remains his grip, knuckles white. All the while the younger of the two, cocksure with cup in hand and back arched as the weight of her body rested against her arm behind her once more, waits for him to make his move. She swirls her cup, eyes fixed on Odysseus who sits across her. Like this, she was a little girl trailing his heels no longer, but a woman full-grown. Wolf-skin blanket like the seat she’d take as sovereign, like her father did, or like her brother would have. If he closed his eyes he could envision it: his bed for the seat of Hades, his tent for the realm of the dead, and she looks on over the sea of shades passing through here and there while the newly deceased arrive from the river Styx in boats.

Odysseus, but one of the many faces in the crowd. Nameless. Nobody. Here in the present, he traces the small curve of her breast, careful not to find himself stuck to it. He blames the wine for the seconds he lingers there before moving elsewhere, finally.

Melinoë notices, and allows it, instead bringing the brim of her cup to her lips.

Trump should focus his diplomatic skills on ending the wars between Sylvester and Tweety Bird, and between Tom and Jerry.

I abhor murder and our gun culture that makes it so easy.

I also abhor hateful denigration of people. Charlie Kirk’s career was built on this. And he is now a martyr to those who like his hatefulness.

Just another reason his murder is tragic
