I'm going to attempt a thread on Ellis because this is important to trump's stolen docs case. He was a staffer for Nunes. He went to work at the WH for the NSC. trump tried to get him installed as a lawyer at NSA on his way out the door. He was compiling a binder full of bs on "Russiagate" and probably a lot more classified intel. Here we go:

Thanks to my good bud @Witchy_Minx, I was permitted to take these pics and share. This is a thriving #honeyplant and has been transplanted multiple times.

It has sentimental and loving significance in @Witchy_Minx’s life. It was her late fathers.

It only flowers for a short time but is worth every bit of love and care it receives year in, year out.

A beautiful and poignant symbol of remembrance to a very special man.

Thank you.

🙏💖

One of my biggest concerns with Mastodon / Fediverse right now is I have no good sources of anime news or discussion, currently. :(

JUST NOW: The new House rules would:

-enable the #GOP to defund a criminal investigation into #Trump.

-defund Office of Congressional Ethics.

-enable a #Republican being investigated by FBI to investigate the investigators investigating him.

I'm voting NO on the rules package.

Hi everyone! It’s me, here in exile from the bird site. I tried tumblr, but while it’s fun, it’s too non-linear to keep up with the news on. I’m here for now. Hopefully this’ll work out. Follow back for curated news, topical events, loads of open minded, liberal, progressive, civil rights things, art, geek culture, and occasionally recipes.

No one ever tells you that getting older means learning to live with pain better

Dear republican
Yes you will still be able to cook meth on a electric stove

@freemo Any phrase used as a tribal identity marker tends to attract stupidity because the point is allegiance not analysis; any topic of considerable depth discussed in 280 or less character chunks tends towards stupid because there isn't enough space to advance sufficiently nuanced ideas; and in this case the starting point is counterfactual, which poses serious challenges for non-idiotic support.

So, yeah, if it was anything other than a maelstrom of stupidity, we ought to be mightily surprised.

(I do note with displeasure that a lot of people more on the sane side of things tend to overestimate the degree to which one can conclude things like "vaccines are totally safe" from observations like "the anti-vax side is comprised of idiots". That's not how it works! Is there a talkorigins.org equivalent for Covid vaccines yet?)
