Human Being - Freedom of the People - Freedom of the Press // Came here in 09 for #iranelection // Only social media I’ve ever had - will stay and watch it burn
Moved my so-recently departed and dearly loved Henry-cat from my 13-years-running profile pic, so I’ll pin these to the top of my account instead. I miss him very much.
From @ShawnMcCreesh at @nytimes, one of the most succinct, and sad, summaries of our times that I’ve ever read. Behold the mid-term moniker … https://t.co/z12UVgTm2T
Grew up one county away from WV. We didn’t spend our time in the early 70s on the pep/band bus singing “Country Roads.” What we sang was “Four Dead In Ohio” RE the Kent State shootings.

Paris 2024 #OpeningCeremony is like that time someone offered you a cheeky little grass spiff & you thought why not but it turned out to be opium dust and now you can't quite focus and your teeth are itching and your ears are fucked and you've forgotten who you came with.
Had no intention of watching Mango Mussolini’s screech [sic] tonight, but the show I was watching ended and I turned over to MSM for analysis and he was still rambling on. Low energy. Described Washington DC as “horrible killing field” which only makes me think of this…
I would respectfully suggest Trump cloned no one, but a much smarter Vance shape-shifted to fit a mold. Eventually (in a few years) I think he will overthrow them for a pittance, as long as Heritage and Thiel approve. He is a dangerous man.

@JortsTheCat White guy with an AR-15 on a roof 140 yards away from the stage gets 30-ish minutes up there but a black guy with a knife walking in a residential neighborhood a mile away from the convention center gets “neutralized” immediately. Make it make sense.
@LukeRussert Luke, long time, first time, bought your book. Those of us in the actual Appalachian mental health trenches easily recognized a charlatan when we “saw” him more than 10 years ago. Vance brings nothing more to our neck of the woods than his ego.
JD Vance’s failed late 2010s “Our Ohio Renewal” anti-opioid initiative appeared to have been backed by Purdue “OxyContin” Pharma and centered on the temporary placement in one Ohio county of Dr. Sally Satel, an American Enterprise Institute (aka AEI) senior fellow.
JD Vance is an administrator on the Heritage Foundation’s website.
Heritage Foundation created Trump’s Project 2025 guide book, which aims to create an all powerful president who can’t be reigned in by courts or Congress.
I spent my career in mental health care and addiction services. Let me tell you what most REAL Appalachian MH professionals think of JD Vance: He is a charlatan. Full of empty promises to help the opioid/drug addicted, used as stepping stones to power. A husk of a real man.
Just watched a favorite - “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” - on @SYFY#TwilightZoneMarathon and am reminded that the monsters have long been here and thriving. “Their world is full of Maple Streets.” Painfully sad, indeed.
Good news RE #ThompsonFire: Seems much more stable and @CAL_FIRE is beginning to report containment figures. Bad news: Many more fires are popping up across California. Extreme temps, sustained winds, low humidity are making the situation ripe for more fires. Be safe! Plan ahead!
Unless I’m missing something, there have been no new evac orders for the #ThompsonFire today. Some have even been rescinded. They can easily be checked on @ButteSheriff’s page here or https://t.co/6TPJYgFmFo online. Hoping for a positive evening update from @CALFIRE_ButteCo. 3/3
