February Fun - Day 9

I'm a bit late today with posting. But the good news is,the dark clouds from yesterday cleared - still a bit foggy (hence today's picture), but there's brightness again 🙂
Hope you like the image, it is from a hike in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Germany, I suddenly had to stop, take a picture & declare "doesn't it just look like something out of a fairytale?"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is admirable in so many ways, and wow that man can WRITE. https://kareem.substack.com/p/what-i-think-about-lebron-breaking?mibextid=Zxz2cZ&mibextid=q5o4bk

Hmmm, a second difference: an oligarch is happy with something that benefits everyone as long as it benefits them more, whereas a fascist is fine with something that hurts everyone as long as it hurts the outgroup more. (See the LBJ quote about “If you can convince the lowest white man….”) That probably sheds more light on the Florida story upthread.

"These peers, who had once enabled Hitler, were now united in the belief that the führer must be removed." But blessed was he who never enabled Hitler. https://www.thebulwark.com/the-prussian-count-who-knew-how-to-be-never-trump/

Ex dot lol people please boost this so I can reconnect with friends I might have lost in the mass migration!

@rbreich anyone who doubts this, please look up the changes in the federal deficit under Republican vs. Democratic administrations. Starting with LBJ, *every* Republican administration has increased the deficit, and *every* Democratic administration has reduced it. (Nixon is just barely an exception if you adjust for inflation.)

The myth that Republicans are fiscally responsible is a hugely successful lie.

The notion that Republicans care about the debt is one of the biggest lies in American politics. As long as the wealthy and corporations get their tax cuts, the deficit be damned.

It's bullshit and people fall for it.

Gulf of Mexico

The ocean seems to go on forever until it fades in the distance. There is a lone brown pelican skimming the water far away.

“You will love the ocean. It makes you feel small, but not in a bad way. Small because you realize you’re part of something bigger.” - Lauren Myracle

I am so sad to hear of the tragic death of Jen Angel--an activist, writer, business owner, baker, and a beloved member of a vast community of activists and creatives in the Bay Area and beyond. For several years, she was also a YES! Magazine contributing editor. I was her editor on a story about the science of happiness--which became wildly popular. It makes me happy to think about her words spreading joy. It feels appropriate to share her legacy of joyfulness here. https://www.yesmagazine.org/issue/sustainable-happiness/2008/11/01/10-things-science-says-will-make-you

Maybe now that Tory resigned we can take that $50 million police budget increase and put it towards affordable housing, community and mental health programs that will actually help people #Toronto #Ontario #Canada

If Fate is a real thing, I hope mine is to fix America by buying an AM radio station and staying up all night infecting crazy old people’s brains with fun and helpful conspiracies like how recycling is how to fight terrorism and that you win the lotto by leaving trans kids alone
