The Republican Party in America today does not believe in citizens' self-determination, or government by consent of the governed.
They do not believe in democracy.
They believe in *their* rule, by any means necessary, regardless of the will of the people.
Never forget this.
@planet4589 Thank you!
(Any idea what could cause a series of moving lights in the sky, which look like a Starlink train, to make a U-turn and start moving the opposite of their previous direction? 🤔)
Is it possible, with (fairly) precise time, date, location, inclination and declination info to know if there was a train of Starlink satellites in a particular spot in the sky?
I just saw something very odd and the only explanation I can come up with is Starlinks.
Well folks, this is the end.
There's not much point in being here any more. Many of my favorite people have left, and the ones who haven't are being drowned by the algorithm that prioritizes trash.
To the few friends who might still see this:
It's been a privilege knowing you.
@paulkrugman Since most of the folks this post is aimed at can’t do math, I’ll spell it out for you:
Jason Aldean’s hometown of Macon, GA had 9 times the murder rate (murders per capita) last year that New York City did.
Israel sprinting toward the most ironic endgame fate imaginable:
A fascist totalitarian autocracy committing ethnic cleansing against an ethnic and religious minority.
BREAKING: Israel's parliament approved a key part of a contentious judicial overhaul, making it law. Opposition lawmakers walked out en masse from the chamber. https://t.co/H6E4jwssiN

@dieworkwear I have an LLBean coat that is 27 years old… and still in great shape.
Not custom-made or tailored or in any way fashionable, just an extremely well-made functional garment.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but playing music on a speaker in any enclosed public space (say, a train) is a dick move.
Doing it in the *quiet car* of the train?
You’re going directly to the deepest circle of hell.
