I believe in being nice to people. I've had a long path from religious fervor to my current awe of the Universe. My working career was on ships. I retired as a Chief Engineer. Then I took up the violin. I also do recordings of live concerts.

🧵 How many times have you heard "Blacks are 13% of the population and commit 50% of violent crime"? Well, racists have been using the UCR wrong for their tired narrative. Let's set the record straight. Pull up a seat, folks.🪑 #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
The annual budget is 3.5 trillion. No taxes for two years. Was Trump in Austin Powers?
I hope he keeps his underpants on.
Where is the West going to go? Continental drift?
Hey, at least we already took in twice the federal budget in tariffs in only 8 months this year. 7 trillion. Very impressive.
I'm in up here in Ballard. A town built by immigrants.
Well… not anymore.
I have many of her CD's.
The annual budget of the United States is about 3.5 trillion. The White House just announced that we've taken in $7 trillion in tariffs already this year and just a few short months. We sure must be a bunch of suckers.
I got 169,000 on my CRD the same year before the engine blew up the 2nd time. Loved that car.
Dense. Also Israel is committing genocide.
The National Guardners
The Tara's have got it going.
I looked for you anyway.
Yes, that is what it has come to mean, and I understand the the word Semite is a term no longer used by those who speak of such things. I also think that the Palestinians are being killed en masse because of their racial identity.
True. Why is that? So we can kill Palestinians with impunity? They are the ones whose land was invaded. I guess hatred against them doesn't count.
Raya was getting a nice tummy rub on the bed when Xena came over, rolled on her back, and assumed the position. Sunny, the caretaker is making sure the others are ok. they both got lots of rubies, and so did Sunny, I promise
So Joel, how would you say that you oppose Zionism but are against anti semitism? A reminder that Palestinians are Semites.
Banning hijab world wide will change to taking away women's choice in all countries instead of some.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
She is talking about the Evangelical Christian god but claims to be a Hindu. Her parents begged in orange robes at the airport. What a phony.

Outstanding video work.
Thanks. They are really sweet too.
If Trump was sent by God, it was because he was all out of locusts and plagues, and Trump was the handiest thing he could find to punish us with. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SundayThoughts
My girl Sunny enjoying a nap before bedtime.
May I borrow this?
Whatever. Why don't you go spew at someone else.
I don't know who you are talking about, but it's not me.
I agree. Now, let's all stop supporting genocide together.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
Dozens of protesters with @jvp.bsky.social L.A. have taken over the lobby of the building where @schiff.senate.gov's future Burbank office will be. 🎥: @shoton35mm.bsky.social
Wow! What a beautiful series of pictures.
I wondered why that drink reminded me of my dachshunds.
Is she going to rearrest the Jan 6 people then?
Do these poor children even know the benefits of heroin addiction or brain worms?
What is a Woody Allen?
The regime seized military control of the capital supported by units from regions loyal to the regime & announced that it will deploy military forces to regions controlled by opponents & oppressed groups. I'm FAR from the 1st person to say this, but are we all clear now about what's happening?
Until they cook the books and stop diagnosing autism.
The flag is a piece of cloth representing a secular nation. It is not sacred. Burning it is not sacrilegious. The Supreme Court has decided that flag burning is free speech. There is no statute against flag burning. Executive orders are not laws. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
They are busy traveling to Israel to announce their support for genocide.
Even Israeli Jews are more opposed to Gaza than the DNC. MONEY TALKS.
Yes.
Not really. I wasn't looking for tricks.
Yeah, that's not how we draw pipes that are closed in actual blueprints so I messed up. Kinda like the phony math problems that are written incorrectly.
😍
6 doesn't have a block and will fill.
Oh, I see the blocks on the taps now.
I don't agree.
Also, the flag is not sacred. It is secular in that sense. It cannot be desecrated
According to the flag code, the only proper disposal for a flag is burning it. Flag should never be worn on clothing or used as apparel. Flag should never be flown while tattered and should never be flown at night unless lit. I wonder who is really desecrating the flag. .
Glasses fill from the bottom up. The lowest tap is the top level in any glass. The two glasses above 7 drain into each other and into 7.
It worked.
Another way to look at this is that the GOP in Congress total votes is far less than the minority Democrats.
Jeffries is not the man we need at this time. I'm sure he is a very nice person but he is not the political fighter we need.
If you are in the National Guard, get out now while you can. Unless you enjoy shooting fellow citizens, that is.
I guess she has measured it?

None if you're pouring only one beer. Also, each glass is already full of air.
Get busy. There is still time.
Put a fence around it. Make them wear armbands when they leave.
So, you've got that going for you. Congrats.
Remember that his father is a god who killed his mother.
Was this because he was relieved of standing trial for his crimes?

I still have my get out of hell free cards and have given many away. Thanks Randy!
I'm pretty sure that Liberal women would rather he think them unattractive.
I don't wish him dead, but I anticipate his obituary with some relish.
Yup.
I guess she would rather you looked at cocks?
On a camping trip with my wife and three Dachshunds sleeping in our Teardrop trailer whose interior consists of a bed agrees with your analysis.
In Seattle we are seeing a big drop in Canadian tourism. We didn't vacation in Canada this summer in part due to ICE stationed on the north bound border interrogating people trying to leave.
View from our campsite across the lake last night. North Central Washington.
They won't let us report without your real account.
Tough choice, NYC! (From @waltermasterson.bsky.social )
Missing in Action.
As DC was taken over by Trump’s secret police, where were congressional Democrats? They weren’t in DC and some weren’t even in the US. Instead of fighting back against the authoritarian takeover here at home, 22 House “Democrats” were being spoon-fed lies about Gaza on a trip paid for by AIPAC.
If so, they are the result of long term planning, not Harrell.
Did he say what he wanted to win? More single family zoning? More punishment of poor people?
Can i point out that Palestinians are Semites?
Blocked.
Bargdaffy is Barg Daffy.
A nice shoutout by Dan Gillmor, a retired journalist → Retired professor at Arizona State U's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism → vocal journalism critic who argues that the mainstream media has BADLY fallen down on its 4th Estate job (and I completely agree).
Bob needs to tell Pam to pound sand.
Well, he has been awful so no worries about that. I can't believe that Jayapal endorsed him.
No one needs to tell me, sadly.
Putin giving advice on fair elections. Soon Trump will be sending his opponents to alligator Auschwitz.
New episode just dropped
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social if you think that Ericic Adams or a Cuomo Nepo baby is a better answer than Mamdani, then it's time for a real leader and you should step down. The rent control apt has already been addressed.
Ok but let me check with my wife first. She might want the sandwich.
I'll be at Seaside for Dachsand I a few weeks.
We're finally on our own.
I will bet $10,000 that fewer than 10% of these results in a legitimate conviction.

Duh!
OMG. They walk among us.
I'm pretty sure I couldn't remember them all at this point. I might have to fall asleep just to drain them up.
We don't need to hear from her because both of the major parties are exactly the same. Except for the fascist one.
I am just curious. And discussing a land, Swap between Russia and Ukraine, what parts of Russia is Russia going to give up in exchange for Ukraine's sovereign territory? #PutinsBitch
