Per Craig Ferguson: When you're about to say something, ask yourself

1. Does this need to be said

2. Does this need to be said by me

3. Does this need to be said by me right now

It's amazing how asking these will get keep you out of trouble (that is, if you actually have sense to begin with)
I’ve been trying very hard to not be an asshole as I get older. Often, that just means keeping my mouth shut and nodding along.

The next time Trump attacks the men and women of the National Park Service, I want you to think of Betty Reid Soskin. We've lost a great public servant--a national treasure. #NationalParks www.berkeleyside.org/2025/12/21/b...
Betty Reid Soskin, once the nation’s oldest park ranger, has died at age 104
She co-founded Reid’s Records in Berkeley, dated Jackie Robinson, delivered cash for the Black Panthers and published a memoir.

Libraries host food drives, have reading challenges with certificates for free burgers & pizza to encourage kids to read, have lunch-at-the-library programs in the Summer, have seed lending libraries to help grow your own food…

Libraries are adamant our neighbors be fed, that they never go hungry 💛

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"

That's... usually not the case!

In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.

We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?

Nobody is “forcing” you to check out books you don’t want to read at a library.

But people are forcing libraries to keep you from checking out books.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.
