I just want to remind everyone that there exists a #StarWars #Fandom site called #Wookieepedia.

It is truly a wonderful time to be alive.

i was just resting in bed (no couch) and petting the cat and i thought about how full of love and affection he is. never owned a cat that loves being touched so much. then came an endorphin rush. it's like having a beer except it hugs you.

I’m stuck on what makes me more angry: President Carter's energy initiative that was ridiculed out of existence or the stolen 2000 election.

No problem–the Stable Genius tells us that global warming is a hoax.

And Trump's first Secretary of State was the former CEO of Exxon (as well as the recipient of Putin's Russian Medal of Friendship), so that insight comes from high authority.

Do your part to keep Republicans from getting elected.

I just donated to my instance. I need to be better about it. I really appreciate all the hard work.

Little bit got her first round of vaccines today, so she is extra sleepy.

It's weird seeing people defend #Threads and #Meta because of some abstract sense of openness and protocols and whatever. "We shouldn't pre-block anything! That's not open! Let people block individually!"

Why does the giant corporation with a flawless track record of getting it wrong deserve the benefit of the doubt? Seriously? How many times do you need to be kicked in the crotch before you admit the CrotcherKicker5000 from CrotchKick Inc. may, in fact, be functioning exactly as designed?

Henry Mancini plays the iconic "Pink Panther Theme" in 1983, with Plas Johnson (the original saxophone soloist who recorded the song) and the Terry Gibbs band

The Second Civil War - a war in which only one side is fighting - goes on another day. Nearly two and a half years after the opening battle, the side under attack continues to deny that there’s even anything wrong. “This is all normal,” they tell themselves. “Surely Merrick Garland and our not-at-all flaccid justice system will protect us.”

No. No, they won’t.

@StillIRise1963 lol 😂 the people still wouldn’t get it. They won’t get it until a nazi is forcing them into a camp.

Folks. This might be #NorthCarolina's next governor. No joke.

Heartland Signal:

At Moms for Liberty's Philadelphia event, North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) says dictators like Hitler, Stalin and Mao are being taken out of context and promotes reading their writings.

"...It is time for us to get back and start reading some of those quotes."

Quick survey: I want to see decentralized social media (aka "The Fediverse") grow beyond its current userbase and mindshare.

A Conservative Minister visited a Children's refugee center, saw the pictures of flowers and happy signs, and welcome signs, and ordered them all removed and painted over . . .

So the children understood they were in a “law enforcement environment”.

Children must FEEL the jail, feel criminal and hated. Nothing more important.

Because he, like the great majority of elected conservatives, is a broken man, beyond flawed, embracing cruelties all our great teachers forbid.

Reality Winner had 1 classified document: no bail

27 documents in his office
Of those
6 Top Secret
18 Secret
3 Confidential
75 documents in a storage room
Of those
11 Top Secret
36 Secret
28 Confidential

Yet Trump is free to roam.

This stochastic terrorist posted Obama’s address and directed his minions against his enemies

Two justice systems.

@randahl

Putin's genocidal war on Ukraine is being funded by petrodollars.

Want to help Ukraine win?

1. Buy less Russian oil
2. Don't buy products from countries using Russian oil

Bonus
Using less oil might save democracy & the planet

Petrodollars fund Tory & Republican fascism

Petrodollars fund troll farms

Petrodollars fund anti-vaxxer disinformation, misogynistic civil rights rollbacks, voter suppression, unneeded austerity measures, stop gun safety legislation, & thwart climate action

NEW: 30,000 homes are proposed for Duffins Rouge Preserve, the former ‘crown jewel’ of Ontario’s #Greenbelt.
The developer is Silvio De Gasperis, primo donor, friend & wedding guest of Doug Ford.
Coincidentally, the De Gasperis Family purchased the former Celestica property adjacent the #ScienceCentre less than a month before Ford #Conservative govt announced the Ontario Line would extend to that location & the museum building would be demolished.

Whenever someone mentions that the USA was founded on the slavery of nonwhites, and genocide of the indigenous peoples, all the right people get upset.

We need to keep bringing these things inconvenient truths up until our country rectifies these historical wrongs.

To all those out there who live their lives, never bother anyone with their ideology, their religions, who do not hate, who are not bigots, who don’t attack other people who are just trying to live their lives like everyone else.

Thank you. Carry on being you. 🖖🖖🖖

I thought I might gear up for the #4th by wearing my Biden/Harris tee and cap and jacket and underpants and, I don't know, fucking cape-flag, but then I remembered I don't have a bunch of clothing that tells people who I voted for in the last election because I'm not in a fascist fucking cult.
