@AnthropoceneMe1 That looks delicious!

Thomas Massie should dedicate his remaining 7 months in congress to burning it all down and revealing every last name on the Epstein list, including Trump’s.

Thomas Massie for President 2028

May 15th, and still burning.

The way some people here talk to others indicates that many, if not quite the majority don't really care if nobody would want to hang out and have a beer with them IRL. You have to give grace if you ever wish to receive grace. It's ok to scroll past a dumb tweet. I think this meanness at a distance actually gives people the sense it is OK to do at the more intimate level as well. I sense this puts the very on-line on edge, wondering who they can trust.

Kindness isn't free. It takes a little time and a little self-giving. I find myself drawn to those who connect people. Who pay attention to their mutuals and find connections. This platform allows that kind of connection.

A few years ago I was chided for "hanging out with communists" who imperil my soul. Turns out none are commies!
I've broken bread in Italy with @SirEvanAmato and @BogatyrH. I've broken bread with @keeper_orchard and visited his pecan trees. I've hosted @cognazor. I attended @dogeatcrow's Baptism and Confirmation and First Communion. @derrick71203411 and his wife have become good friends and travel with us. @gwbled has become a dear friend who has traveled to see my family perform in community theater. There are others I'm not mentioning, as well. I've sent wild apple cuttings to @IntractableLion
and @simoningall and received cuttings as well.

Consider @nealjclark1's whistling man meme. One turn of a phrase might change your outlook on a person from the angry dude who hates the world to the whistling happy man.

If you're spending time wondering what people are thinking of you, save your brain bytes. They're not. But once you start connecting people and helping them find their path in life, suddenly they'll let you know how much they think of you.

@GordMagill @tomschloegel @bfurnas @supertrucker Sorry I missed it Gord! I have kid duty on Thursday nights.

[Simon Ingall @simoningall]

Kid helped me split firewood this afternoon in the snow and slush.

He just wants to use the pickaroon.

4 of @simoningall apple grafts from last spring on a single tree are strong this year. New ones I took this Jan from MN seem to be doing well so far. Hopefully they will burst soon.

@karakara98 We love it! Perfect for working on the farm. It has the same size bed as our Chevy pickup.

[Simon Ingall @simoningall]

Proof of life.

And American trucks are fucking stupid.

Rep. Tim Burchett drops a bombshehll on insider trading by stating:

"Washington isn't just a swamp, it's a sewer of corruption enriching from taxpayers' money and it needs to stop. Everybody wants to knock Pelosi; she's not even in the top 10."

@littlebillie Just shake em off

If you are worried about the rise of AI - taking your job, sucking up all the energy / water, bombarding your kids with online slop, amplifying 'the machine', destroying humanity... - probably the most tangible thing you can do is to resist data centers coming into your community

BREAKING:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security requests Google, Reddit, Instagram, and Facebook to provide names, phone numbers, and other identifying information of users who criticize ICE.

[Simon Ingall @simoningall]

@rabcyr_alt A sort of yearly review

[Simon Ingall @simoningall]

What percentage of people will use Ai to write their performance dialogues for them this year?

[Simon Ingall @simoningall]

Today’s terrible food choice.

Glee gum.

It barely qualifies as gum.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

If your representative, Democrat or Republican, is still silent about the Epstein files, or claiming it’s “much ado about nothing,” it’s time to elect a new one. Check their public statements today.

[Simon Ingall @simoningall]

@RizomaSchool well said.
