Group Hysteria continues to grip the USA.
When are they going to run out of things to avoid #Epstein? They have tied killing people in the US as well as overseas, they have tried war, ex members of the administration are being sacked (#Bondi) or prosecuted (#Comey), they have appointed an ignorant troglodyte to run the US health administration (#Kennedy) and a drunk to run the #FBI (#Patel). Now it is UFOs. Next cancel elections?

#Fascist #Florida #Governor #RonDeSantis Snubs #VicePresident #KamalaHarris’s #HurricaneRelief #Calls for the #Dumbest #Reason.
DeSantis is dodging the Harris' calls to #coordinate #HurricaneRelief after #HurricaneHelene and ahead of #HurricaneMilton’s impending landfall. His #avoidance seems aimed at creating a #weapon for #Republicans to use in the 2024 #Election #Campaign. Essentially, DeSantis is #PlayingPolitics with people's lives.

...my mother was the kind of person who would declare "burntness is good for you" ...instead of just admitting she left the #food unattended for too long.
...suffering through burnt dinners instead of correcting the cause is what #arrogance and #accountability #avoidance looks like in simple terms.

Good morning. 🍂🍂🍂
18 October 2025
We went and got our annual flu shot yesterday. You can’t be too careful these days. It was a painless event, though my wife mentioned feeling a bit icky later in the evening. Since we were already dressed, we decided to eat at a Chinese buffet. That’s both good and bad. I can usually find the kinds of food I should be eating—but then there’s dessert. I love the apple pie and vanilla ice cream. That’s my downfall. I know it’s there, and all I have to do is get up and go get it.
Most of my success in avoiding things that aren’t good for me comes down to one strategy: don’t have it around. If ice cream is in the house and I know it, I’m going to raid it. If it’s not in the house, all I can do is complain about not having any—which I do, but not seriously.
Once upon a time, many years ago while I was in the Army, I smoked cigarettes. Not the smartest habit, but back then a lot more people smoked than do today. I was stationed in Germany and wanted to quit, but quitting is hard. We had ration cards for items that could fuel a black market, and cigarettes were among them. Each year we received a new card, and every time we bought cigarettes, the cashier would mark off a spot. To help myself quit, I marked off all the cigarette rations on my card so I couldn’t buy any. It didn’t stop me overnight, but it made a real dent in the habit.

Every time you avoid conflict to “keep the peace,” you’re not just staying quiet—you’re sending your nervous system the message that self-advocacy is dangerous. Over time, this leads to heightened anxiety around confrontation and a belief that your voice is unsafe. But this pattern can be unlearned. #avoidance #trauma #healing #conflict #fighting

30 years of thinking about this and it still blows my mind that almost nobody in the USA seems to identify college #sports as large-scale #corruption.
Econ studies have debunked the idea that sports programs "pay for themselves" (one study found that *maybe* the very biggest 0.1% of football and basketball programs might... Maybe).

A quotation from Jerome, Jerome K.:
«
It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.
