@three_star_dave Yup, same mindset as Elmo. "I don't like people saying things about me so I'll just buy the platform."

#RonDeSantis is now boasting that, with his cronies and contributors holding improvement district control over #WaltDisneyWorld, he can start forcing Disney to produce non-"woke" stuff that he and his base want to see.

Yes, Ron is escalating from "I'm going to punish you for criticising my agenda" to "I'm going to force you to vocally support me and mine," all through the coercive power of the state.

He's a budding #autocrat and he's probably running for #President .

Biden has the GOP cornered on Social Security cuts, so why would any Democrat try to help them out? Ridiculous.

I've never subscribed to the New York Times, not even when I lived in New York. Though I did buy it most days at the newstand, back when those existed.

But I've also never told people I thought they should cancel their subscriptions.

I'm saying it now. The Times has gone increasingly right wing ever since 9/11: the paper today is on balance more a force for evil than for good.

@freemo Yeah. Nutmeg seems to act more as a flavor enhancer than adding a flavor of its own. But that's my own perception of it. I can sure tell when it's missing from something that should have it.

@freemo Hmm, nutmeg is critical in various things I make. I rarely use it in sweets except as a topping for egg nog.

For example, nutmeg is pure magic in an onion Bechamel sauce.

@freemo Then it probably will surprise you. That's my secret to getting kids to eat spinach.

@freemo Yum! I love spinach, especially when sprinkled with some nutmeg.

@rbreich Yes we can, or could. But when it comes to Republicans, cruelty is the point.

The rich like it just the way it is and they've bought and paid for a government that will keep it that way.

Research shows that crows and other corvids know what they know and can ponder the content of their own minds according to STAT. This is considered a cornerstone of self-awareness and shared by just a handful of animal species besides humans.

I had a coworker named Aja who is of mixed race and absolutely beautiful and some creepy guy kept trying to get her to tell him her race and she would NOT give him the satisfaction and the conversation went something like this:

Creep: So, where are you from?
Aja: Chicago.
Creep: No, where are your parents from?
Aja: Chicago.
Creep: Okay, well Aja is a really exotic name, where is that from?
Aja: A Steely Dan song.

Black service members have served with distinction in every US war, going back to Independence.

Shout out to everyone that's seen the painting of Washington crossing the Delaware, but never noticed the Black guy in the boat! 🙋🏿‍♂️

If serving with honor were a path to being seen as a "real American," Black folk would've achieved that goal long ago.

But I still run into EU immigrants (who just got their green card last year!), telling me that "BLM protesters don't love this country like I do!"🤡

@mekkaokereke Well, I'll be damned. I've never more than glanced at the painting until now. Sure enough.

Found a 6k x 4k image I could study closely. It's possible the fellow at the stern of the second boat might also be black.
