Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, but without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story...

Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

A little good news....

The inartful DOGE...

So much winning...

Here come the 2025 Nazi white shirts...

Brilliant!

My letter to AirBnB (Part III) There are many vacation rental companies I can use that are not owned and directed by unAmerican treasonous fascists. I am encouraging everyone I know to boycott AirBnB until Joe Gebbie is no longer a board memebr or benefitting from its business. So long, AirBnB!

My letter to AirBnB (Part II) I am disturbed and deeply offended by the fact that Joe Gebbie, AirBnB's founder, has joined Elon Musk's illegal, unconstitutional, and unscrupulous Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

My letter to AirBnB (in multiple parts - sent last night). Over the years, I have booked 23 trips with AirBnB. When my family has suggested we stay in a hotel, I have always been the one to suggest we use AirBnB, instead. That approach will now come to an end. .

For those at the back…

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

The Trump administration has blocked a crucial step in the National Institutes of Health #NIH process for funding #medicalresearch, likely in violation of a federal judge’s temporary restraining order on federal funding freezes. #legal #resist www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Massachusetts needs to build 222,000 homes by 2035 to head off the deepening housing shortage, a figure that adds a new sense of urgency to the state’s efforts.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

FBI and military should move in and secure the building the bullshit is over!

He's thinking outside the box. Way, way outside! He's like, "what's a box? Never heard of it. Sounds Mexican. Let's put a tariff on it!" www.cnbc.com/2025/02/04/t...

Elon Musk's actions are illegal because there is no congressional authority to gut this agency, and my Republican colleagues must stop ceding their responsibilities to an unelected billionaire. degette.house.gov/media-center...

I watched Section 31 last night. What a derivative waste of Michelle Yeoh's talents and the best stroyline from Star Trek Discovery. This was the worst Star Trek offering ever made. The wordl seems to agree with me... screenrant.com/star-trek-se...

"The Gulf of Empathy," (11 x 15) watercolor, mixed media, pen and ink on paper.

🚀 Celebrating 30M members! 🎉 Bluesky’s growth accelerated sharply this month, coinciding with Musk’s alignment with far-right European leaders at an AfD rally, suggesting to “move beyond guilt” over its Nazi past. Critics, including Yad Vashem’s chairman, called the remarks “a danger to democracy.”

"Experts agree" we could make more money if you allow us to rewrite safety regulations and pass more fliughts through dangerously understaffed airports.
