Retired Working On The Next Act.
Focused on separating the wheat from the chaff.
Why do we keep following the gerontocracy over the edge to the rocks below?
Pelosi: “Right now, the Republicans in the Congress have abolished the Congress — They just do what the president insists that they do. That will be over — That ends as soon as we have the gavel”

The quote makes me wonder who would be the progressive challenger to Jeffries for Speaker

Please provide some context, so others will know best practice to avoid issue and fix issue. Thank you !
I literally had to remote into my old Windows 10 machine to print this 41 page PDF document.

Nobody asked but ... we always put a big ass carrying handle on the top of ours. Of course that was after we stopped using an appliance dolly to chassé our megatower to said events.
I want to do unto this Shuttle (the one that started it all for me) as I did unto the Ultimate Windows 98 Machine last year: *STICKERBOMB THE CRAP OUT OF IT.*

Mentality here is that these were portable machines for LAN parties, why not have one that looks like a traveling suitcase?

Nobody asked but ... Isn’t Bari Weiss, who was hired by the Board of Directors, responsible for making executive decisions like this one?

Apologies for suggesting actions that are inappropriate due to your country of residence. Thank you for the reminder that NOT everyone "raging against the night" is an American.
I would if I could, but I'm a Canadian #Resister. I go out on demonstrations and support my friends here. Your advice is good to all Americans.

Nobody asked but .... What are you people at the "Grey Lady" smoking? Orange man has been omnipresent in the Mass Media before, since, and after the last election. Are you only counting appearances where someone doesn't try to take him out?
While President Trump has lagged behind his predecessors in the number of official appearances in his second term in office, he has relentlessly pursued the public’s attention in other ways on a daily, and sometimes even hourly, basis, a New York Times analysis shows. trib.al/nf83ouc

Nobody asked but .. I think you can credit the works of Anne McCaffrey for the heightened interest of dragons in that time period.
I could make a whole sub-bot based just on programming books with dragons on the cover. (Source.)

Have you offered your time, talent, or treasure to your local Democrat Precinct Captain? Wishes, prayers, good intentions do not get the vote out.
PLEASE, to every god and goddess and higher power, PLEASE let the GOP lose the midterms so Trump can be impeached! www.msn.com/en-ca/news/p...

When did the AFL-CIO forget their 1955 purpose?
1) Enhance collective bargaining power
2) Improve political influence
3) Better advocate for Union workers in a postwar economy facing corporate consolidation, automation, and anti-labor policies (e.g., the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947)
Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social
