Run.

Good!

Love… I’m armed.

I just don’t advertise or agitate because of it.

Homegirl is not MAGA.

Admirable.

I shoveled snow out of my driveawy.

How the hell does google get someone’s banking or credit card numbers?

WTF…

NGL, this makes me VERY glad I do not have a credit card (it’s apparently no mean feat in today’s world) and never, ever, will have my bank accouont accessible for anything but a walk-in deposit or withdrawal.

Crazy times makes me glad I aim for old school modalities for lots of things in my life…

Nice distraction from the stories in the EPSTEIN FILES!

Good God… why?

Just buy me a dinner, no need to go all scat-fetish happy first. LOL!

I honestly think - as the room is at the back of a shop and the exit to the parking lot is right there - that they left that evening and saw it and were just too embarassed to deal with it.

The person whom I think dropped those quite healthy deuces, felt awful about the poopsplosion and happened to be in town a few nights later, and bought me a dinner… Out of the blue?

Hmmm.

Thank you.

In religiously paternalistic Texas, killing one’s own children is a God-given biblical right.

You’re dealing, in the case of the Taliban, with a people that were devoutly religious, and living in extreme conditions of hardship, poverty and depravation well before the Soviets rolled into that country. Their lives alone, made them capable of out stubborning western militaries.

Americans by and large aren’t used to such marginal modes of living… we’re not, at all.

Guerilla warfare won’t have any lasting power.

Americans want their comforts, their internets, their cell phones… We are a bourgeois country and that won’t change until we go into another Great Depression… now THAT could set the revolutionary foxes into the social henhouse - but it needs to come from disastrous policies made by the people at the top, so they bear all the blame.

That will get political winds blowing in a different direction.

Noooo guns. Guns gets the military involved. You and I will not win once that bridge is crossed. It will give Trump and the fascists an excuse to declare Martial Law and turn us into a real police state.

While it’s romantic and fun to imagine going all Punisher on the chuds in ICE, that’s not a real end game you want to aim for.

I WAS paying attention in History class. We’re not in the 18th century anymore, so the notion that anything will be changed with violence… is rather… well… Lemme just leave you with the thought that what can come down will crimp almost every aspect of our lives in ways you definitely will not like and it will start with the internet and phone.

(also, do pay mind to who’s got the access to heavy gauge fully automatic firearms, and who does not.)

That’s a delightful ladybug. I have one that’s got a picture of a bandage on it…

Yep… Those executed citizens were within immediate reach. Can’t be close enough for the fuckers to catch you. Always have an escape route ready.

Yeee!

I got the shopping done - and put away the food and washed the dishes… but no laundry yet.

Ugh.

I do not doubt it.

When I was a kid - now we’re going back to the mid-70’s after the Vietnam War ended - there were public service ads on TV to avoid opiates all thr time, though I think it was mostly heroin or morphine.

Gotta thank the billionaire Sackler family for the mid-90’s wave of Oxy addictions that seems to have kicked off the current wave.

The real issue is US immigration law. It’s been a racist load of claptrap starting with the Immigration Act of 1924. Nothing’s improved so this one MUST be on the votes to fix.

So now it’s time to use actual cameras with stout telephoto lenses and have discrete pockets in your clothes for the micro sims to be hidden in (if it looks like one os going to get caught) and also use those parabolic dish microphones to record everything from a distance and if ICE moves towards the observers, they slip away and find safety. Old school. Cameras in phones mean observers have to get too close. Change up the equipment and how you deal with these shitheads.

This society has been taken down a very dark path for decades and it started with conservative media - first talk radio and then cable “news” and now internet podcasts and the like.

When I’ve had people my own age come to me and start on about hidden cities at the center of the earth and all of the sudden go off about it as if! they didn’t get the exact same Earth Science lessons in the SAME schools at the same time as I did…

I really have to ask:

1. “Did you hit your head recently and suffer brain damage?”

2. “Why did you become so gullible?”

And finally,

3. “When did you decide to opt in to superstition, ignorance and New Age, New Earth woo woo shit - the SAME shit that you and I BOTH made fun of when we were kids?”

(When did you decide to get old, boring and stupid, basically…)

It’s the Karl Rove effect in action, I guess. The conservatives just spew so much shit that the rubes that can’t shut them off for the terror of losing their made up “identity” just go soft in the head and believe lies that 30 years ago, they would not have.

Repeated lies… decades of them. Warping reality and making fearful people cling to the lies.

My laundry. Come hell or high water…

There are many things around the world that can be called into question, but the one definitive item in this world I will hold to - no matter how much the pot of obfuscation is stirred - is that Donald John Trump is a child fucker and sex trafficker.

That is ONE thing I know about the world and I will stick to it.
