Thinking a bit of a self-intro in order, I would like to start by explaining that I departed Twitter while it was still Twitter, on the day after Musk purchased that part of the universe. I enjoyed Twitter, and have since felt starved of an outlet for some of my more theoretical views. More below.

"Populism, nativism, racism, and frankly, stupidity, are sprinkled liberally throughout our history. But they are subtexts, not the main story. We will transcend MAGA as we transcended the Know Nothings, the Confederacy, the anarchists, the McCarthyites."

I'm just a dog. But with a serious hypothetical question. Say I'm walking down the street and see two non uniformed thugs dragging a crying woman being dragged to an unmarked van. The thugs are armed. I ask if they showed a real warrant. They refused. What's the right thing to do? Do i...

My own 101st day mood depends on the most recent Executive Order out of D.C. My sentiments keep swinging between Boomer outrage and Gen X anger.

So, let's review, MAGA. 1.) End the war in Ukraine before inauguration. 2.) End the war in Gaza in the first few weeks. 3.) Balance budget with a big beautiful bill. 4.)Fix immigration. 5.) Fix inflation. 6.) Strengthen defense. 7.) Rationalize Healthcare. You tell me: how we doing?

It's always fun to re-discover photos from old trips that I didn't get around to editing. Here's a shot from a wonderful encounter with a Black Bear in the Great Bear Rainforest. #wildlife #bears

Now that America is ~Great Again~, folks, and "day one" has long come and gone, and immigration is fixed, and the wars in the middle east and Ukraine have been negotiated, and everyone is now happy, happy, happy... just remember, you liked him on the way he managed the economy.

Got to say thanks to a childhood hero today.

Most hoomans seem to have forgotten Sept. 2019. Trump impeached for withholding $400 mln from Ukraine. Why? TRUMP NEEDED A FAVOR FIRST. Not exonerated, Trump just left alone by the sycophants controlling the senate. Remember, Putin is a central consideration to Trump decisions. But why?

Man asked Pa if I were a "rescue dog." Pa answered, "all dogs are rescue dogs, just like all dogs are therapy dogs." I'd like to underscore these sentiments. We are here to help in any way we can. "Rescue" is only needed when you wait too long to ask for therapy. Happy to clarify that.

"Reducing everything to Putin and his entourage is historically wrong because the true foundation of Russian aggression is the Russian Empire itself — its imperial mindset."

The Russian opposition is an odd bunch. While not supporting Russia's brutal all-out war against Ukraine and its people, the leaders of the so-called opposition don't want their country to lose. A nu...

These lines, from 20th century literary great Lu Xun, have been doing the rounds on Chinese social media of late:

勇者愤怒
The brave, when angered

抽刃向更强者
Draw their blades against those who are stronger

怯者愤怒
The cowardly, when angered

却抽刃像更弱者
Draw their blades against those who are weaker

Woke or Catatonic? A little test. You might be Catatonic if you think your religion gives you more rights of citizens than are to be enjoyed by other citizens who do not share your religion.

1 million moms boycotting _Wicked_. Moms Opposed to Representative Depictions of Objective Reality, "MORDOR," pulling their own kids out of cultural opportunities. POOR KIDS, WITH SUCH CATATONIC MOMS. But this beats preventing other peoples kids from enjoying healthy and wholesome movies. NEXT UP?

"Too soon, we will all only be the memories of our children, waiting to be sorted into baskets of redemption and damnation, without any further input from us." Perhaps that is the best way to arrange matters after all.
