Asked a seasoned State Dept employee how Marco Rubio has been received so far. "He has a minder, like a Trump campaign minder." A what? "Someone in his office, not of his choosing. [Like with Tillerson], they sent somebody over because he wasn't totally within the fold." 👀

I stand now, as I have stood in the past, in solidarity beside trans service members. You joined the military knowing it would be a tougher environment for you than for almost anyone. You chose to serve in a time when you have faced discrimination. You are honorable, valuable, and valued. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Just watched "Bank of Dave". What an inspirational movie for such times. If you have not watched it, I highly recommend you do. It's a great lesson on how community, empathy and compassion means more than power and money. Oh, and it's a true story!

Can you spot fake news? What about the fake news you agree with? You do know they're playing both sides off the other, right? Don't be an unwitting dupe.

There’s an emerging bipartisan consensus that we need massive cuts in General Purpose Forces, driven by both the “drones/AI/tech can do it all” and the “SOF can do it all” crowds. They’re both wrong and a lot of people are going to die because of it.

Me: What do these states hope to accomplish with these easily avoided laws and why are they trying to do the job of parents? Partner: Because they can't be bothered to govern.

F-ng power is out - again. No rain. No wind. Just a calm overcast day and poof, power's out to most of the town. Not even in a rural area for the most part. The town has 50k+ residents. So much for living in the future. #enshittification

Me: I just wanted to tell you about something you'd really like first, before you read it. Partner: But I really liked that scientific stuff earlier. Me: Not really. Partner: I did! Me. Stop disagreeing with my neurosis. They don't like it and it won't end well for you. They made me say that.

I always wonder why I get so angry about antivaxxers, in a way that I often don’t with people who believe in TCM or chiropractic and it’s because antivax is a shibboleth for “anti society thought”. It is pure solipsistic greed and narcissism and that sets me off like nearly nothing else.
