Bit of a long shot here, but wondering if there are any lefties/socialists/commies/etc in this instance in Seattle who'd be interested in collaborating on a very small scale mutual aid project. Like bare minimum Bernie level Dem Soc, but ideally far left lefties - bonus points if my association is likely to result in my further radicalization, haha! ✊

I tend to grow (berries, veg, duck eggs) and cook a lot of food, enough to share on a regular basis, but I don't drive.

So I'm considering partnerships with VERY covid conscious folk(s?) who DO drive, for delivery to people who could use it nearby (including my delivery partners, if they would like/need it, obviously).

If anyone is interested in a collab along those lines, please hit me up to discuss particulars.

I've cross-posted on Zeroes, my other instance, but this instance seems a lot more active.

WOW: Speaker Kevin #McCarthy wishes #GeorgeSantos had more power than President Joe #Biden.

He said the quiet part out loud.

At this point Halliburton seems almost quaint. I miss the good old days when Republicans had enough shame to at least try to hide their corruption.

Angel: You want them to rest every night?

God: 8 hours. Completely unconscious and immobile.

Angel: And then they wake up completely refreshed?

God: No.

A lunchtime walk with a flask of coffee to shake off the January blues. A slight haze to things today, but slivers of sunlight catching the edges.

Get police out of the traffic-enforcement business.

Police officers killed 600 motorists from 2017 through early 2022. That’s two a week. How much of this carnage are we going to endure? From @mtomasky@twitter.com: newrepublic.com/article/170262

Do you have Long Covid ?

(For the purposes of this poll, consider Long Covid to be any post Covid symptom that persists more than 3 months after catching Covid. )

You’ve got to admit: adding a new colour pill to the weekly organizer is a little bit fun

All 3 cats are now on the bed. Two went out in 19⁰F weather to play after the hail stopped. Now they are back and probably not out again except to use the bathroom. I have a litter box but they last used it 3 days before Christmas when the chill factor was -40⁰.

"Power attracts corruptible people more generally, and power centers with a history of abusive, militaristic, and racist violence disproportionately attract people who want to abuse minorities, or use lethal force. Those are the exact people who shouldn’t be in uniform, because they see that kind of culture as an attractive profession. But that’s too often who applies. People who should never be in uniform self-select into it."

It is clear that if Ilhan Omar weren't a practicing Muslim, she wouldn't have become a central figure for the right and, therefore, wouldn't have been someone who McCarthy saw value in targeting. washingtonpost.com/politics/20

"The Manhattan district attorney’s office on Monday began presenting evidence to a grand jury about Donald J. Trump’s role in paying hush money to a porn star during his 2016 presidential campaign, laying the groundwork for potential criminal charges against the former president in the coming months, according to people with knowledge of the matter."

Hurry up every chance you get.

Just wanted to let everyone know I won't be sending any photos today. My cell reception is down to "barely there"

The main news for today is that France and Australia have agreed to supply Ukraine with 155mm artillery shells, Poland is ready to transfer F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine in coordination with NATO, while Biden said that the US will not transfer F-16s for now. France has also confirmed an agreement with Italy to buy 700 missiles for the SAMP/T air defense system being prepared for Ukraine, and will consider training Ukrainian fighter pilots. Denmark has joined the grain deal and confirmed that it is ready to join the tank coalition for Ukraine. As for Putin, Russia is the bottom.
