As I wrote a couple weeks back, this is Amazon's goal, to sit in the middle of every economic transaction and take a fee.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

— Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings

— More guns don't make us safer

— A majority of Americans want gun control

We don't have to live like this.

Hey, who wrote that story in 2018 for Fortune about Trump rolling back a train-braking roll that was designed to prevent explosions near communities?

Huh! It was me?!

Brown Headed Cowbird.

This female brown-headed cowbird visited one of my hanging feeders yesterday. In this photograph, the bird retreated to the oak tree in my back yard. I'd already read a little bit about the infamous bird just by reading about other birds. The brown headed cow bird is sometimes mentioned.

"The Brown-headed Cowbird is a stocky blackbird with a fascinating approach to raising its young. Females forgo building nests and instead put all their energy into producing eggs, sometimes more than three dozen a summer. These they lay in the nests of other birds, abandoning their young to foster parents, usually at the expense of at least some of the host’s own chicks. Once confined to the open grasslands of middle North America, cowbirds have surged in numbers and range as humans built towns and cleared woods." - allaboutbirds.org

damn that shit was good

mmmmmmmmm, sloppy joes... 😋

if I didn't tell you they was vegan, you wouldn't even know

No, Nikki Haley, thanks but no thanks.

I still haven’t forgotten that you quit the day before it was revealed that Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered, tortured, dismembered while he was still alive by the Saudi Prince & his cronies & you helped Kushner cover up his assassination which he got rewarded for with 2 billion dollars.

What did you get for your part in the cover up, Nikki?

I will remind everyone of your complicity til you drop out of the 2024 presidential race.

What a fragile, spoiled child this man is.

People ask me, "Why do you post so much about Twitter?"

It's actually because I post a lot. But not just about Twitter, also Meta and TikTok and Reddit and Mozilla too.

Look at my recent feed.

Nevertheless, it's so hard *not* to post about Twitter when Elon Musk does so much ridiculous things!

And of course people like those posts because there's never been anything more surreal and silly than what's happening with Twitter right now!

Will you be my Valentine? Please, I’ve been alone for millions of years. 😞

@paul seems like I deactivated my Twitter account just in time. 😂

I did part of this!

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Unfortunately, having no knowledge is an even more dangerous thing.

Weird how mental illness hardly shoots anyone in Canada.

This whole story has been buried over at Twitter. I had no idea this person was arrested for fentanyl smuggling. *raising one eyebrow* Thank Molly Conger for the original reporting.

Charlottesville Tiki Torcher Killed Himself Before Drug Smuggling Trial. https://www.thedailybeast.com/charlottesville-tiki-torcher-teddy-joseph-von-nukem-killed-himself-before-trial?source=articles&via=rss

Here’s a repost of my intro on this new instance!

My name is Lawrence, and I’m 41. I live in Miami, but I’ve previously lived in central NJ, all over MA, and in Southern CA.

I enjoy (in no particular order) video games, traveling, hiking, cooking, cats, men, and tiki bars/pseudo-Polynesian kitsch.

I have a partner of nearly 18 years (that’s the length of our relationship, not his age, to clarify 😂) and the world’s best kitty.

Happy to be here with all of you. ☺️

Whitmer, other Democrats pushed for stronger gun laws before #MSU shooting

Conservatives of all stripes are a danger to public health — whether it be allowing a lethal contagion to rip through their populations to the proliferation of guns which with their nation’s children are slaughtered.

Humanity can’t afford reactionary backward conservatism. It will lead to our extinction. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/02/14/gun-laws-michigan-state-shooting/

It is always encouraging when someone has the guts to say this. Thought and prayers don't bring dead kids back, and they don't prevent future killings. Even if there is an almighty deity, she/he/it is obviously not listening to your useless prayers, or these killings would not be happening almost every single damn day.

What needs to happen is for the scoundrels that kowtow to the NRA to be voted out of office and never allowed to return! Votes for legislators NOT endorsed by the NRA will be far more effective than all the useless thoughts or prayers!
