It's time for Europe to ditch NATO and create EUTO. It's pretty clear that if Ukraine is to survive and thrive, only Europe can do the job. the US is at best an unreliable ally.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

So the US is going to take over the Gaza strip? Have they learned nothing from history?

Another take from the Bonhoeffer Movie. Half the German church had to come out and apologize for their role in legitimizing the Third Reich. I wonder how many Christian nationalists will do the same one day? And will it take an ass-kicking war to change their shitty theology?

I studied economics and I'm pretty sure I know what a Tariff is. Shame the so-called leader of the free world hasn't a clue ...

Watched the Bonhoeffer movie last night. It was awful. But some eerie parallels to Trumps America today ...

The only way to fix the US is if Canada annexes it.

After two years, had my second last immunotherapy treatment. My CT scan is booked before the last one. If all goes well I'm officially in remission. No more treatment, just regular bloods and reviews. Won't miss the cannulas, will miss the nurses ...

Just an bit of history: The word “America” comes from the Latinized version of the name of Amerigo Vespucci. The name “America” is the feminine form of the Latin word Americus, which comes from Vespucci's first name. So, it’s named after an foreigner and a woman. Suck it, tRump!!

The Bible is not an objective moral standard #maklelan2486 youtu.be/9I_QsHgfr84

Happy New Year from downunda ...

Alternative medicine inherently elevates pseudoscience in its commercial form as part of the wellness industry. It’s a front for selling the fruits of fake science. To succeed, a polarizing narrative is required to perpetuate mistrust in health care that’s never out of vogue.

Has the Bible been changed? #maklelan2477 youtu.be/3uZ-mq3YVf4

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.) The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

This makes me feel better every damn day .... www.pewresearch.org/religion/202...

Saw this meme and it expresses a thought I've had for many years.

Australia did it in 1984 ... forty fuckin years ago!

So, I'm quiet on here, still recovering from a lingering illness. All going well, by January I'll share memes I've created based on my new book. It's my personal journey of deconstruction and deconversion after sixty years as a Christian. I'm holding nothing back.

Dear Microsoft, I'd be much more impressed with your much-hyped Copilot AI, if your 'New Outlook' App actually worked at launch half as well as the old one. Had to roll it back, it's a nightmare. Definitely not ready for a production environment.

Morning. ☕️

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

I’m a gun owner, and I respect the rights of responsible gun owners. That said, the second amendment will continue to be watered with the blood of children until the laws change.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose. Other signs of his alcoholism included dizziness and chronic reckless behavior.

Also, holy shit, Bluesky sends real traffic. Will update this tomorrow with firm numbers but journalism is going to move here for sure. Twitter is a drop in the bucket. It's over, but we are so back, and so on and so forth
