I don't post, so it's not worth following me. I won't follow you back. I'm just here to read stuff.

My PP&L bill was about the same, $15. Last year I made 90% of my total power use; the year before it was 98%. When you factor in the cost of solar , it comes out to be the same as if you'd been paying the electric company. Might as well actually get something for that money.

It looks like it's just the tip of a much larger mass. Do they think that everything below it is also going to come down? Thank you for keeping us informed on this development.

That's why the median income is much better metric than the average. Understanding the wealth gap is crucial in class solidarity.

It gets way bigger than Queen Anne's lace ever did. I've pulled stems that were nearly 12 ft tall. The leaves are also lots more lacy.

Thank you! We are just starting to see this plant along roadsides (thanks, PEN DOT! Grr) and we need people to know what it looks like. Good job!

No, we donโ€™t. I stopped thinking the US was exceptional when they voted for Bush Jr. Laughter is justified, you just have to make it loud enough for even the right wingers to hear it.

You are correct, though at the time, the Dems saw corporate cash as their only recourse against Rep oligarchs. Of course, when you take corporate money, you start doing their bidding. I don't excuse HRC, but in this fight, we need all fighters, and she knows how to fight dirty (ask Bernie).

Sadly, they get enough money from corporate interests that they don't need our small donations. I wish denying them would change them but I fear it won't. Always give your political contributions to those who do not take corporate money.

No sympathy. This is what she voted for. If she didn't know this was what she was voting for, she's stupid

Remove all the staff, make the parks difficult to visit, reduce attendance, and use that as a justification to sell it off at bargain prices. They're not really playing chess here.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They are vital members of our community. They make our government actually work for people. Remember this.

Funny, that exactly describes MAGAts. Totally delusional, ignorant, terrified and hateful towards anything or anyone not like themselves. Your straw man looks a lot more like a reflection of yourself than of anyone who is liberal.

Wouldn't it have been nice if he had done some of that before he was 3 days from the end of his term?

It all started with Reagan many years ago. When he deregulated the media, he gave the purveyors of lies, conspiracies, and misinformation the freedom to do and say whatever they wanted.

Some of the best and most memorable writing I've read has been fanfic. I stick mainly to LOTR works, and still go back to archives like AO3 to reread my favorites. These are pieces that were written for the love of the story, not profit, and it shows.

So how did you feel about 'Maleficent' (2014)?
