    The real root cause is these people have too much fucking time on their hands.  Idle hands are the devil’s tools and whatnot.  I realize the irony / hypocrisy of what I’m about to say as I stare at a screen and make yet another post here - but for fuck’s sake, people really shouldn’t have enough time to sit around and radicalize themselves about the stupidest, most petty shit all day.  And if they do have that much time and such a leisurely life, then they should want to spend that time in a much more fulfilling way than sitting around raging about shit that has never even affected them.  “The border!  Gays and trans!  My right to gun down would be assassins!  Globalists!  Great Replacement Theory! This country is going to hell!” said the realtor from Frisco who lives the same comfortable boring life as everyone else and whose actual real life day involved absolutely none of those things, except for the hours of “research” about them on YouTube.

    Fucking hell.  People need friends and hobbies.

  2. I have a lot of my dad's old tools from his ag class in high school that are still engraved. About a year ago, our garage fridge finally stopped working and it was older than I am. It was the same one I grew up with in our house. My mom still has daily use silver ware that I have claimed when she kicks the bucket that we used when I was growing up. Not fancy, but very thick for silver ware. Will not bend with ice cream. My sister was disappointed when she learned I claimed the set. It is still mostly complete, too. Not bad considering I'm in my fifties.

    My sister had this and I had the soccer one. We also had a Merlin. Don't still have them so doesn't apply to this thread.

    We are starting to see that with the LBGTQ folks.  Yeah, Elton John and others have obviously been out there for decades, but it’s hitting the mainstream  where companies are embracing it (witness the blow up over the beer cans), where it’s prominent in some video games, where you have people like Tim Cook who runs the largest tech company in the world, where you have gay characters in the movies and TV shows (and popular TV shows and movies that revolve around such characters).  It’s no longer an isolated thing like Elton John or Paul Lynne or whatever.

    One thing to keep in mind is some folks think burning 250 calories on the treadmill allows them to eat an extra Big Mac.  Nope.

    Do they have an R next to their name? Then they are or support the Republican Party. The Republican Party is fully committed to white supremacy, anti LGBTQ, and anti democracy.

    So I guess your question is best directed back to you. Is any republican NOT a Nazi? 

    I used to try to research the candidates and pick what I thought made the most sense. Not anymore - I don't even read about the candidates. Straight D down the line. Doesn't make a difference where I live, but at least I know I've done the right thing. 

    I saw it quoted somewhere else here, but for as much as Rs claim to want smaller government, they sure as shit want to be up in our personal lives. Fuck them.

  6. More from Idaho: We don't need no stinking libraries.

    Quote

    ADA COUNTY, Idaho — First, people wanted to ban books in the library. Now, they want to take away libraries all together.

    A group labeled the Concerned Citizens of Meridian filed a petition last week urging the Ada County Board of Commissioners to eliminate the Meridian Library District, claiming the district supports sexual indoctrination and refuses to discuss "obscene and sexually explicit materials."

     

    It claims the MLD has refused to provide financial transparency, shut down public discourse at meetings, refused to discuss minors "access to obscene and sexually explicit materials." It also claims the MLD refused to communicate with speakers at board meetings, have allowed minors to obtain material targeted towards sexualization, that the MLD "continues to provide facilities for sexual indoctrination of minors by the Queer Straight Alliance" and that the board has a member who "supports chemical and surgical castration of minors."

    The petition is also asking for a decrease in trustee terms to three years instead of six years and to "segregate" explicit material.

    This is one more addition to the continuing saga of the fight to ban books that may contain stories about puberty, children's bodies and LGBTQ+ individuals. In March of 2022, the Idaho Press found that the books brought to Idaho lawmaker's attention for being "obscene" were all located in the adult or teen section.  Bills have passed through the Idaho Legislature, none becoming law, trying to criminalize librarians for providing books to minors that some legislators believe are "harmful." 

    Sigh.

    Because of Tucker, Ashli Babbitt is trending on Twitter.   I can't imagine being so desperate for a martyr that you'd accept this:

     

     

    All that rage and anger will kill ya.
