    Indeed. Far too much interest from the UK media in our elections already.

  2. It's not as though Hitler himself hopped on a tank and rode into Poland in 1939. There were plenty of Germans willing to invade another country just as today there are plenty of Americans willing to commit similar atrocities. Shame on you. You have betrayed your country and your Humanity.

  3. "Why is the goose-step not used in England? There are, heaven knows, plenty of army officers who would be only too glad to introduce some such thing. It is not used because the people in the street would laugh. Beyond a certain point, military display is only possible in countries where the common people dare not laugh at the army." ~ George Orwell

  4. I Hate When it Hits Home

    I saw a headline this morning that pissed me off and scared the crap out of me, but I haven’t been able to verify it yet (and I almost don’t want to even try, in the spirit of burying my head in the sand). It said that trump mentioned including pharmaceuticals in his tariff bullshit.

    That’s scary shit. Where is my step son’s insulin manufactured? Where is the company that manufactures it based? Is the already insultingly high price of insulin about to go up? Is it manufactured in china? Will the price go up 104%?

    Like I said, I have not verified this report yet. I tried looking online for about four seconds and then stopped. Think of it as a no-news-is-good-news kinda thing, you know?

    Further thoughts on being in the spirit of hiding ones head in the sand, I feel like I have less and less to say on the interwebs these days. I feel like the state of the world is just making me draw more and more inward. The collapse of american democracy is getting me in touch with my inner introvert. That’s my natural state, I think. Despite being a ridiculous online over-sharer over the last 25+ years or so, the real me is someone who clams up and doesn’t speak unless spoken to. I feel that I am losing the fight to not be that way all the time. Social media used to be my personal revolution (this is getting way too dramatic), but facebook and twitter and instagram and threads are all dead to me now. Flickr is a social media site at its core, but I don’t use it in that sense very much. I still use bluesky, but with each passing day I find I have less and less to say. I’ve been using Flashes as an instagram alternative, but that app is literally just bluesky with a filter to only show posts with images.

    This isn’t a censorship thing. I’m not afraid to speak out. trump is a fucking fascist who needs to rot in prison for the rest of his miserable, evil life. See? I am not afraid to say what needs to be said. I just don’t feel much of an urge to speak up anymore. It’s not even that… it’s more like I will speak out when I have something to say… I just don’t often feel like I have anything to say. I don’t know. I will say it’s one of the reasons I am considering canning this blog and all of the social media things I still use. If my country doesn’t give a fuck about me anymore, why would I waste the effort acting like I give a fuck about it in return? I do, and I will do what needs to be done… I think I am just tired.

    Jen and I have been watching a show that is set in Australia. Maybe I’m just jealous of people who live in countries that aren’t actively eating themselves. I don’t know.

    Boy… this is a depressing post, eh? Sorry. There will be cat photos at some point today. I promise.

    PS: I am turning comments off. I’m not interested in comments on this one. I’m not sorry.

  5. Even though Romanian citizens had been officially promised that travelling to the United States would no longer require a visa, the shitty Trump regime has now gone back on its word.

    What a lying piece of human excrement King Trump is !! The guy can suck on a BIG FAT CARROT !! No wonder he's so orange. Sheesh !! 🥕 😠

  6. To all the 8 billion people on this planet, know this:

    If the United States should fall, it won't be just Western Civilization that collapses but the planet as well. Neither China nor Russia, the remaining superpowers, will grant Humankind any kinds of freedoms.

  7. A new round of Presidential elections will apparently be held in Romania... Soon... But it will be a sort of Hobson's choice: "You can pick whomever you want as long as it's our guy."

    Screw that !!

  8. "Thought-provoking stories" ?

    I'd rather say "nausea-provoking stories"

  9. Just want to note that nobody goes in for this level of destruction and enemy-making and then walks away from it at the end of their non-renewable elected term.

    American Democracy 💀

  10. From a friend, Stewart Dean, who gave me permission to share this here:

    ❝A friend sent me a WaPo editorial

    wapo.st/3XXARK3

    ...which asserts that Trump isn't so much lying as BSing us. I responded:

    BS and word salad. Yes, and your point is?

    Because it really doesn't matter, any more than when you're killed by 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree murder or involuntary manslaughter, you're still dead.

    And my feeling 🙂🙁 is that WaPo, the NYT and all the others played a big part in this train wreck by studiously observing and explaining our way down the drain....as if explaining everything, reporting everything instead of relentlessly calling out the rape in progress was OK. Even now, when the disaster is all around us, the WaPo fires Ann Telnaes, refuses ads criticizing Trump...the conversion is complete.

  11. Treating your guest poorly doesn't make you a manly man. It makes you a terrible host and a shitty human being.

    Also, as far as I'm concerned, the United States is a rogue nation with nuclear capabilities much like North Korea.

    Trump administration opens ‘End DEI’ portal, asks public to report schools
    By COLLIN BINKLEY, JOCELYN GECKER, CHEYANNE MUMPHREY

    The Education Department launched an “End DEI” portal Thursday, describing it as a platform “to submit reports of discrimination based on race or sex in publicly-funded K-12 schools.”

    It asks students, parents and others for a brief description of the practice in question, which the agency said it will use to guide investigations.

    The website went live as schools and colleges nationwide face a Friday deadline to end diversity programs the Trump administration views as racial discrimination.

    A Feb. 14 memo from the Education Department ordered schools to remove consideration of race from their practices or risk losing federal money.

  13. I thought it was just Democracy that they wanted to dismantle, but it has become painfully obvious that the 1% want to destroy all of society by exterminating those who oppose them and then rebuilding it in their own image.

  14. Why go through all the trouble of having a Revolutionary War? Why sign the Declaration of Independence? Wasted lives! Wasted time! Wasted dreams!

    The United States is officially an Absolute Monarchy ruled by an evil, greedy King. 🤴🇺🇸
