I want Senator Mike Lee to have to explain to his grandkids why he laughed about parents being killed in front of their children.

If you add 22 hashtags to your image post, you can certainly add alt text.

Is it just me, or has the Coca Cola marketing team jumped the shark? Sprite + iced tea sounds not great to me.

The most USian image description ever: "A law enforcement officer points a taser at a person wearing a hot dog costume during a protest."

@kaia I am so grateful to people here who encouraged me to switch to DuckDuckGo.

Very good turnout at my local #NoKings Protest today. We had 260 participants at the #HandsOff Protest in April. For this event, we had almost 1200!

My sign for the #NoKings Day Protest on June 14th:

These days, if you have a tummy ache, it's hard to know why. It could be:

🔺️ A food recall the FDA isn't allowed to warn you about.

🔺️ Disease spread due to lower vaccination rates.

🔺️ The instability of your 401k.

🔺️ Rising prices, tariffs, and supply chain worries.

🔺️ Toxins related to Climate Change.

🔺️ Deregulation of companies that pollute air, water, and soil.

🔺️ Loss of social safety net.

🔺️ Rise of Secret Police squads, war profiteers, and State-sanctioned data thieves.

🔺️ Just *everything*

#MonochromeMonday

@TheEddieShow They put a spotlight on the cross? Did they forget about Matthew 6:5-8? This conspicuous display is the exact opposite of what one should do.

Hospitalizations are way up in countries hit with the newJN.1 COVID variant called NB.1.8.1 even though it does not seem to be more severe than Omicron LP.8.1. which is currently dominant. NB.1.8.1 is rising rapidly in its percentage share among global COVID infections, going from 2.5% to over 10% in only four weeks. This may suggest increased transmissabilty.

Of course, repeated infections with any COVID variants have adverse compounding effects. Yet, I have a very troubling hunch, since the character and spread of this variant does not really match up with the increase in cases and hospitalizations. What if this represents widespread co-infection with something else? Probably not Bird Flu, since that is an Influenza A virus, and presumably, they would test for flu. But, it could be anything.

One of my worst illnesses was when I got Strept Throat and Influenza at the same time. So, I know what co-infections are like. The double whammy is difficult to overcome.

Perhaps I'm way off base, but I can't help but think that we are missing something important right now.

Are there reasonable alternatives to installing an exhaust fan for a rarely used shower in an older home?

You know what, companies? I am not going to buy your appliance if you make it connect to the internet. I don't need my toaster or coffee maker to be WIFI enabled. I'll just do without. I can't be the only one. Who is asking for this?

Is the general public in the U.S. really accepting the government line that the human case count for Bird Flu suddenly stopped at 70?

I don't know what to tell you, rest of the world. We seem to be the epicenter, and we aren't allowed to know how bad it is, or how much HPAI has mutated. If this thing eventually goes human to human, hopefully we will figure it out on our own, so we can let the world know.

Republicans don't seem to grasp that the world could do just fine without the U.S.

Self-imposed Isolation in a global economy is like holding yourself for ransom.

The reason you should speak up for Trans people is simple: because you should. Not just because they'll come for you, too, eventually, but because we should care about Trans folks, full stop.

On this #GoodFriday we solemnly contemplate the incredible dissonance, hypocrisy, and insincerity of those who oppress others as they celebrate their own liberation. They don't see it.

There's no such thing as Rambo Jesus. You either follow the Middle Eastern long-haired radical, who preached care for others, or you don't. I know that religion have been used as a weapon throughout history, but it's just so striking right now.

For I was hungry, and you cut off my food stamps and called me a freeloader.

I was thirsty, and you said no water breaks, get back to work.

I escaped danger to come to your country (just like Jesus, Mary, and Joseph when they fled to Egypt) and you demonized me.

I couldn't pay the landlord, and you said it's my fault for not getting a better paying job.

I was sick, and you said I was faking it, and denied me medical treatment.

I was in prison and you said I deserved to be tortured in a death camp.

If the USians seem extra spicy today, it's because our complicated Federal taxes are due today, even while they promise to take away everything that the Federal government does for us.

@kims It was outside Germany by design. *head desk* Do people really not know any history at all?!?

I went to type "Thanks Guys" and typed "Thanks Gays" and now I have a new tagline.
