Generic Republican algorithm:

IF My pocketbook isn’t affected AND
My property isn’t affected AND My donors aren’t affected AND My family isn’t affected THEN I don’t see a problem.

@gulovsen

As an atheist, I’m pretty fed up with the fact that our local city and county council meetings start out with a “non-denominational” invocation (never mind Jesus is invoked on occasion).

In general, I find public display of religious affection embarrassing and completely out of line. I tolerate it, but it makes me want to puke. It has absolutely no place in a secular, public policy setting. It’s also clear to me that it is not an innocent attempt to bring religion to a meeting but an attempt to push a clearly political point of view. A “lifestyle choice” if you will.

It’s a difficult step for me personally, but I would love to see citizens come forward during public comment at these meetings to politely push back and request to eliminate these invocations because they are clearly political and an incredible waste of time and public money.

That’s my suggestion as one place to start.

Elon Musk has laid bare an essential truth I have speculated about in private for many years.

Scott Adams is IN FACT rubber and the media is INDUBITABLY glue. QED.

I’m old enough to remember when this would’ve made the entire republican party shit their pants. In public. In church. On the floor of congress…

“I have been silenced” is akin to “stop resisting arrest” while the cop wails on you with his billy club.

@bodhidave

I remember that. I would call it watching movies on the wall.

To be fair, not ALL Republicans are fascists. The same should be said for Christians.

But show me one fascist little cunt and I guarantee they are at least one or both.

I’m old enough to remember when we called artificial intelligence massive parallel processing. I don’t remember the word intelligence being included.

@DemocracyMattersALot

I agree. We need to remain vigilant. But I think a POS like Ron DeSantis is a far greater threat than MTG. She’s just a fucking boor and needs to be ignored or mocked.

@IPEdmonton

And if America closes its eyes and thinks good thoughts, it’ll get a pony! Yaaaay!

@Mrfunkedude @GottaLaff

You gotta admit though, they wear some really fun underpants! I mean, who isn’t attracted to fun underpants!?

@gwfoto@newsie.social

I’m sorry, but if physicians are going to be true to their oath to do no harm then they need to start being civilly disobedient. We need a martyr. Who’s it going to be?

@shoq

I have to admit that I came late to Twitter and really never paid attention to it until I found that I could get pretty solid information about what was going in in Ukraine and Iran. The main thing I notice here is more of a laid back, nuanced attitude about "things". Twitter seems to have a lot of really touchy, short fusers that get played by these trolls.
