Classical and jazz composer, arranger, saxophonist, oboist and old school liberal. Free speech absolutist. If you can’t spot the sucker at the table, you’re it.
@MemeNonLibs Sorry, my dear … go get another tattoo and some more piercings. In no time you’ll feel better about your sad, pathetic, self destructive and delusional life or perhaps … you could find Jesus. That would cost you almost nothing, except your smug arrogance.
@MemeNonLibs Did she say, “There are a lot people walking around who are willfully ignorant?”
Oh, the irony!
I’m reasonably intelligent, but I’m still humble enough to ask myself every day if my perceptions are based in objective reality or am I just succumbing to bias or delusion.
@FoxNews Maybe I’m missing something, but in the video of the guy fleeing and climbing off the roof, where’s the rifle? They said they found it in a wooded area wrapped in a towel.
Bill Gates is back, not with a solution for the planet, but with a blueprint for control. He's assembled a cartel of the world's most powerful corporations—BlackRock, Microsoft, GM, Bank of America—under the green banner of his "Catalyst" fund.
His smooth promises of "bringing costs down" and "helping all countries participate" are a smokescreen.
Here’s what he's really saying:
He's creating a public-private monopoly. They will use their influence to funnel billions in government tax credits and recovery funds (your money) into their own chosen projects. They will "guide the effort," designing a market that mandates the use of their expensive "green" products—like synfuels and hydrogen—eliminating true competition and consumer choice.
This isn't philanthropy; it's the Great Reset in action. It's about using the climate agenda to consolidate unprecedented power over the global energy supply, ensuring you pay for a system they own and control. This is the ultimate corporate takeover, dressed up as salvation.
@walterkirn Ain’t that the truth! I’d rather get a furious spanking with a wooden paddle for misbehaving than get a sickeningly smug, soft spoken, self righteous lecture about my art not being diverse enough by Terry Gross. Does the far left see being cancelled as “time out” for adults.
@_The_Prophet__ @TiffanyRogato @novapilgrim Agreed. Anyone born into that era would have been shaped by the forces and prevailing zeitgeist of the times and would’ve responded and behaved similarly. To think otherwise is just self righteous delusion.
@MinorityView@KKMmamaof8 Wow! Boomer here.
I never met a grandparent that didn’t want to spend time their grandkids, unless they were adversarial with their own kids. I have seen milenials go no contact and ban grandparents from seeing their grandchildren. I guess I’ve just enjoyed a good normal life.
@ItIsHoeMath I hadn’t thought about this story in years, but HoeMath’s post jogged my memory. We were only about 19, so I doubt this girls sexual sadomasochist tendencies were the result of years of abuse. More likely some deep, dark instinctual preprogramming bubbling to the surface.
@ItIsHoeMath In college, I had a crush on a very attractive girl. I convinced her to meet me for a beer along with some friends. We were telling stories and she says, “My ex-boyfriend tried to run me over with his car. I’ve never been so turned on in my life.” My attraction turned to horror.
@cliftonaduncan I have one foot in both worlds. I go to bed pretty late and wake up before the dawn. I’d like to sleep more at night, but I just feel more rested by taking a nap in the afternoon.
@MeghanEMurphy A thoughtful and accurate analysis. I’m also an ex-leftist and ex-democrat, but for about ten years. I wept tears of joy when Obama was elected only to watch that administration embrace evil neoliberal globalism, but the events leading up to the 2016 election broke me for good.
@cliftonaduncan@MilagroTheatre@mmcdonaldlewis That town is lost.
That theater community is lost, pathetic and lost.
They have little talent and they know it, so they just try to destroy those with real talent to make themselves appear competent. Eventually, they’ll self immolate in the corrosive flame of their own lies.
