Well here I am in the 21st Century, Have to say it ain't as cool as I hoped it'd be. No man on the moon, nobody on Mars, and where the hell is my flying car? Account focussed on farming, dogs, tractors and Putin's genocidal invasion of Ukraine.

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

If Trump was really on a mission from god, he'd be pushing Nazis off bridges, not giving them presidential pardons. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTT1...

If only there were something russia could do that would stop Ukraine's "Massive Terror Attacks" on their cities.

I know y’all don’t care about this but there’s a pretty fast spreading Covid variant going around and there’s gonna be a summer surge whether you like it or not. You can, of course, avoid this by getting vaccinated and wearing a mask but you won’t do that.

Easy to be glib, but of course Keir Starmer must walk on eggshells around the man whose indispensible and wise counsel has seen the Party's popularity come to rival that of foot fungus.

Given the ridiculous media attention being paid to the Putin-Trump call, it needs repeating that the man who started the war and the man who admires the man who started the war cannot negotiate an end to the war between the two of them, without Ukraine.

Lipton himself works under a policy that precludes gifts of $25+, to avoid the appearance of conflict, regardless of "quid pro quo." For example, he would not be allowed to receive a jet from the Qatari government, because it is valued at more than $25.

Donald Trump got elected after spending his campaign rambling about immigrants eating dogs and the cock sizes of golfers. Stop trying to map the mind of the average voter.

The belief that the effectiveness of right wing immigration scaremongering is remotely linked to actual migration statistics, and if you can get those low enough they'll be defanged, is so endearingly naive.
