I’m a freethinking, unapologetic liberal and a Meniere's sufferer. I'm a rape survivor and a proud Genderqueer. I was an Architect once but that is a distant memory now.

This is exactly what the crypto is supposed to be used for. I wondered when someone was going to start connecting the dots. He's taking emoluments (read "bribes") from foreigners and then doing favors for them. I've been waiting for people to start connecting the dots on this.

When Russia broke up into three countries following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, this conflict became inevitable. That doesn't mean that Moscovy deserves to win this conflict: ranthonyings.com/2022/03/ukra...

Are you correct or just seated in the section reserved for sinister traditionalists? Conservatives should beware the divine right of kings. ranthonyings.com/2014/11/the-...

Me in the Guardian today on DEI as the new N-word for the right: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This 3-post thread is based on a series of AOC Instagram stories she posted tonight, explaining the importance and value of calling your House Representative and Senators, EVEN/ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE REPUBLICANS. Please watch and share.

So it is now official US policy to encourage the bribery of foreign officials (and presumably for foreign interests to be able to bribe US officials). Seriously, what on earth is going on here? This is sheer kleptocracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

This is how you respond to fascism, with resistance. You want me to leave? You'll have to escort me out of the building, in handcuffs, because I'm not leaving any other way.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

It's 2025 and we're reliving 2011 and 2017. Go figure. ranthonyings.com/2017/03/i-am...

Can Meniere's burn out? Yes it can, but that really isn't the goal that most sufferers will want to pursue. ranthonyings.com/2025/02/meni...

Eggs are more expensive. Inflation is on the rise and going to get worse when the tariffs start. Trump can't even keep the planes in the air. His cabinet is a shambolic mess of ass kissers ...and we're only on week two. Hang on to your butts. ranthonyings.com/2025/01/neve...

Trump is busy trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist instead of getting the houses of congress he controls to fix the problem legislatively. ranthonyings.com/2022/10/maga...

It's still 6:00 AM in Punxsutawney. Here I was thinking we finally escaped from reliving that day. ranthonyings.com/2020/09/its-...

The Zombie Apocalypse has begun. Brace yourselves, it's only going to get worse until he and his supporters are held to justice. ranthonyings.com/2025/01/neve...

That genie can't be put back on the bottle: ranthonyings.com/2020/05/xeno...

Zombie apocalypse day is here. Prepare accordingly.

Weird how things you wrote in the past sometimes seem almost prophetic. I would rather have been wrong in this case. ranthonyings.com/2020/03/repr...

When it comes to travel, even a daily commute, failing to plan is planning to fail. Plan on needing more time to feel normal. ranthonyings.com/2025/01/fed-...

Star Trek is a part of the context of the 1960's, just as Shakespeare is stuck in the 1600's. Understanding context enhances enjoyment. ranthonyings.com/2025/01/losi...

When we're talking about facts versus fictions, we should ask, who benefits from the fictions? Who benefits from an environment with more lies, less fact-checking, more confusion, less clarity? And who suffers? www.mediaite.com/news/fact-ch...

Trump can never be president again. He took the oath, held the office and betrayed the constitution. He can't do that again. What is the oath for if it means that little? @thebulwark.bsky.social this was the point that the SCOTUS absolutely failed at addressing. audioboom.com/posts/863063...

The eustachian tube on the surgery ear finally opened back up on December 31st. Nothing quite like the taste of bone dust and old blood in the back of the throat to put a damper on New Years Eve. It was a good excuse to go to bed early though, so I'll take it. ranthonyings.com/2024/07/dead...

I added a surgery addendum to this article. ranthonyings.com/2024/07/dead... Surgery went fine.

I'm going in for a labyrinthectomy and cochlear implant surgery in about five hours. I, of course, can't sleep. Here's the article about it on the blog: ranthonyings.com/2024/07/dead...

I think we’re about to find out which Senators understand what their job really is about, and which ones are there just to become internet stars. ranthonyings.com/2017/08/7-re...

Michel Barnier packs a world of revulsion and derision into a single glance at Trump at the Notre Dame ceremony.

The failure wasn't anything the Dems could fix without first breaking up Google's ad monopoly @thebulwark.bsky.social All of this second guessing is counter productive. The tech Bros wanted Trump, and so we got Trump. That is where the money trail leads. audioboom.com/posts/862252...

Do you let the spirit of giving into your heart & home at Christmas, or do you nail the door shut against him? ranthonyings.com/2024/12/sant...

My Christmas article from last year: ranthonyings.com/2023/12/wond... This year is going to be a bit different.

audioboom.com/posts/861802... @thebulwark.bsky.social are still under the delusion that we can avoid open war with the Trumpists. I'm not sure I ever harbored that delusion.

www.spreaker.com/episode/unit... "How much worse can it get?' Is the scariest question that looms over all of us right now." - Rachel Maddow, in reference to a world with a United States under a Trump authoritarian regime. She isn't wrong.

Déjà vu eight years later. ranthonyings.com/2016/11/the-...

This has been going on for eight years now. There is no longer room to doubt the fascism of Trump and his supporters. It is a fact that needs to be stated. ranthonyings.com/2016/11/the-...

I am Genderqueer. ranthonyings.com/2024/10/maga... I am of the group the #MAGA target. The only way you could know that, is if I told you. I've hidden in plain sight all my life and I'm only coming out now because my mental health requires it. You will never get rid of us. We will always be here.

I'm embarking on a retrospective on the blog, heading up to election day. I'm sure many of you have noticed.

The first of the articles where I attempt to educate the MAGA ranthonyings.com/2016/10/maga...

Blizzard went a little nuts for this anniversary celebration. worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/2...

Dick Cheney is voting for Kamala Harris in 2024. While it gives me pause to be agreeing with the butcher of Iraq; I have to admit that you can’t vote for Trump unless you want to liquidate the United States and hold a bankruptcy sale. ranthonyings.com/2015/12/dick...

As we approach election day, here's a Trump article from the archives: ranthonyings.com/2018/05/man-...
