My dad fought fascism in WWII. I’m proud to be an anti-fascist & follow him today.
Be fucking resilient. Find another way. There’s always another way.
The Times is on here posting and re-posting this gossip-column horseshit about a party where nobody worth a pitcher of warm spit showed up.

Gettysburg & the tour guides do a lot to include the Rebels in their remembrance honors, as if all dead were equal. But Lincoln’s address plainly specifies the Union soldiers & their sacrifice. It wasn’t the South’s “cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion” he was talking about.

“…even as (McDonald’s) chief executive sounded the alarm about the increasingly two-tiered economy.”
The Snowpiercer economy.

I mean, we’re not too far from this now.

I still love The Crystal World. The thrill of horror when I read its first description of a living being becoming slowly encased in jewel-like stones is still fresh. And the cover of the first edition, though, faded, is still like looking at a dream.

Tore this out of a magazine and had it taped to my computer hutch for 25 years. Sometimes the past is just better.

“China was going to hit us with rare earth…”
Hearing him is like listening to somebody talking with a dog’s brain.

Hit us, China!

Looking forward to all the unleashed Thanksgiving flights, Senator Durbin.

Under invasion by fascism and being sabotaged by cowardly Dems willing to collaborate, there are only 2 options: allow the party to keep building a Vichy “government”, or support our partisans who are fighting from the woods & purge the Dem Right to extinction.

We could have had that. Instead, we got this rot-brained giant erector set.

For the Bluskies in the Central NY/NE PA area, NWS predicts most areas get up to 1” snow by Monday evening. ❄️☃️🌨️. Smuggled in this screenshot for the wx nerds ⬇️

Mental health tip: someone standing on your porch or knocking on your door is not a crime punishable by death, no matter how much of a little cringing bitch you are. Stand your ground laws are codified licenses to murder at will.

Good news tonight for Pennsylvania SNAP recipients from the guv.

Maybe I missed the Crash, but The Depression is here.

I didn’t get a shot of the pre-6 a.m. Times front page, but after 6, they buried-BURIED-in the Business section the big front page news on Elon Musk’s new payday making him the world’s first trillionaire, with no link from the front page. The juxtaposition w/the SNAP was too much, even for them.

No greater proof than the stories in this book.

Something weird has happened at Bluesky. Engagement has just disappeared for me. I’m so tired & stressed, there just isn’t enough whatever to figure it out. It’s time for a vacation.

“Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.“
—Tennyson, Ulysses

Pan de Muerto fresh from the oven…a recipe from a 1980 paperback by Barbara Hansen called Mexican Cookery. An incomparable recipe, and still the only one I use.

Blessed Día de los Muertos to all 💔❤️🪦

Our Samhain breakfast was lovely, the soulcakes delicious. Hope your evening brings your heart’s desire.

I’m sorry, but it isn’t fixed for me. I have been getting this result for over a month.
