Could we have a Hunger Task Force rather than a Space Force?

#Arizona official targeted by #election deniers now struggles with PTSD

“Because of their actions and inactions, Gates said, his integrity had been questioned. He was labeled a traitor who should be shot or hung. One person wrote on social media that his daughters should be raped. He worried his own parents, avid #Fox viewers, might believe the lies about him.”

Don't forget: Giving a musician $10 is worth as much as streaming their song 1,000 times on Apple Music and 2,500 times on Spotify.

I was in shock for a few minutes that HBO would fire someone like @AoDespair — but then I remembered: it’s not the same HBO anymore. It’s some kind of gobbled-up HBO Max Discovery+ Frankenstein’s monster that, coincidentally, forced Cookie Monster to market NFTs to impressionable children

Time 2 learn 2 make your own #Pasta

Better than store-bought pasta

300gr flour
3 large eggs

Serves 3 to 4 people

Pour the flour on a countertop. Make a well in the middle. Beat your eggs, pour them in the well you just made. Mix it all up. Knead for about 10 minutes. Form into a ball and wrap in saran wrap, let rest for 30 minutes (it will soften). Then pass through your pasta machine. Yes, get one, they go for about $40 - $80 Canadian. Better ones go for about $100.

When the Third Reich took power in Nazi Germany, they changed the criminal code and began to criminalize “deviant” behavior, broadly defined to include dissent. They even created a so-called “People’s Court” that would enforce the laws, often without due process & with the outcome certain.

Remember that when you see states start to criminalize constitutional behavior—like voting and seeking reproductive healthcare.

That's true. And he's been astonishingly successful at consolidating all the power of FL's three branches of government into his own hands, enabling him to reward friends and punish enemies more effectively. He's a very efficient fascist.

I'm just saying, his performative hatred is the only quality that made him nationally popular. And he's now popular enough that he could easily attract new donors. EXCEPT that he can't, because he broke the First Rule.

The Allen terrorist who killed 8 innocent people, including a child:
•Hated women
•Hated Black people
•Praised Hitler
•Praised neo-Nazis
•Wore Nazi regalia
•Built social media profiles promoting genocide

Meanwhile NY Times: "His motive remains unclear."

🤦🏽‍♂️

Sore throat and a cough. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Chicago that finally gives me covid.

Anyway, I’m back in good ol’ Minnesota. Drove 4 of 6 hours in the pouring rain where we couldn’t see the car in front of us. I’m tired lol.

Seeing your classmates murdered is more traumatizing for school kids than learning the truth about slavery.

It’s really pretty simple:

Common sense regulations do not INFRINGE on rights, they ensure responsibility. So, without taking anyone’s guns, how about…

1-Minimum age & required training
2-License and registration
3-Background checks on ALL purchases AND transfers
4-Liability insurance to operate a deadly weapon

Pax is sleeping. We hope you all have a great night!

Love it that the EU has its own Mastodon server… and it’s own Nitter server to avoid direct links to Twitter.

This is probably the best thing I ever posted on Twitter. The memory is pretty dear to me; I'm sharing it here so it still exists somewhere if that place collapses.
