@dnalounge that actually sounds pretty good. Is this what mixed drinks cost these days?

@BeAware interesting. I suppose they could be silent, though that seems difficult for anyone like that. I chose greed, because it solves the most problems, but abuse is a close second. I've seen the destruction it has wrought.

Streaming Binge Day for me:

Movie: "Serenity." Okay.
Movie: "Children of Men." Very Good
Movie: "Wonder Woman." Very good, but way too long.

Currently watching the "Stargate Universe" series. Pretty good. I actually saw some of it years ago.

I know the writers are trying to throw everything at this season of the U.S.A. before it gets canceled, but Mississippi just had an earthquake during their tornado emergency.

We don't have a basement or a tornado shelter, so we just go to the most interior windowless room, which is the little half bath. Since there is a tornado outbreak ongoing in the South, I checked the room to make sure everything is in there: blankets, sturdy boots, water. J added a weather radio, so she is taking this seriously. Might even put some motorcycle helmets in there.

In 2022, when the last terrible tornado hit anywhere near us, it hit in the middle of the night (as they usually do, here) and we were so sleepy, we ignored the Tornado Warning alert on our phones. It hit 18 miles away, as an EF4 tornado. That's the second highest designation a tornado can be. Our friends lost their home and they were so traumatized, they moved to another state. I am terrified of losing warnings via National Weather Service.

What I'm trying to say with all this is that there is no safe place anymore. Floods in Germany, and alternating dry riverbeds and floods in France, the fires in Australia, South Africa, California, Brazil, Canada, Greece, and Spain (which also has had floods), Hell, even the top of a high mountain is not safe during a freaking hurricane.

So, you will need to have more than one plan, as well as a predetermined place to meet in case you get separated.

Me: I was really hoping we could contain this, keep it from spreading.

Friend: What, measles?

Me: Well, yeah, that too. But, I meant ignorance.

All those people who defeated Fascism, just for it to come back.

All those vaccines developed to eradicate disease, just for them to come back.

All that work to protect the environment, just for us to destroy it.

All that progress in striving for a more equitable society, just for some to turn back the clock.

Faulkner once said that "the past isn't prologue; it's not even past."

It's time to take back what is being stolen from all of us.

I'm watching an older animated feature, and Alaska is described as "Russian America." This intrigued me, especially since my dad was a cartographer for the Air Force, stationed at Alaska, before it was a U.S. State.

The theme is familiar: all progress comes out of risk, as long as that risk does not extend to you.

@kaia do you keep your safe in a safe place?

Went by my local independent grocery store and discovered my new favorite thing: El Milagro crunchy tortilla chips. Makes the best nachos ever! I'm never buying any other brand again. In the U.S. you can probably find them at Walmart or Food Depot.

They did say that the Aocalypse would be televised.

I see that Jefferies is preaching decorum. 🙄 Yes, please be polite to the grifters looting the government and stealing Granny's food stamps.

@CoachMark I really want different leadership, someone progressive. We don't need centrist bullshit when everything is on fire.

@Infoseepage @Remittancegirl @georgetakei the murder rate in Atlanta is 15 per 100,000. 😬

Did the Log Cabin Republicans disband, or did they decide to admit that they were always about wealth, privilege and racism?

@ai6yr It's incredible. Billionaires need air traffic controllers, too. I know that they are breaking absolutely everything but to what end? Even MAGA folks are balking at some of this stuff.

@Alice @dannotdaniel we should do a group reveal of the horrible events associated with our birthdays. Tag yourself. Mine is synonymous with Hitler's invasion of Poland.

@Infoseepage @DoomsdaysCW holy crap. Metropolitan cities are chock full of squirrels and pigeons.
