I am at the allergist waiting after my shots. I had posted something about the take over of CBS by a right wing billionaire who has installed a person to make sure that all stories reported on have a positive bias towards tRump and the administration or pushes their talking points. It is not a news source anymore it is a media arm of the tRump political machine formerly know as the Republican political party. Hugs

Rather than fix the issues and problems people face the hateful people in the tRump administration are focused on returning the US to a regressive time when white males were unquestionably in charge and could do anything they wished to others who were not male with out rebuke. This is an attack on historical truths in favor of a ideology that prefers their fantasy to reality. Hugs

I am at the allergist waiting after getting my shots. I have to wait for 30 minutes. During that time I use my pad to read news and sent it via email to Scotties Playtime. This is out right racism. The southern states are making no effort to hide their re=a sim and rush to return to Jim Crow now that SCOTUS has giving the green light to white nationalism. Hugs

Horrifying attempt by religious fanatics to take of the US government, destroy democracy by implementing theocratic rule. Specifically their religious sects doctrines and beliefs. The would force everyone in the country to follow and worship as their church does regardless of any individuals beliefs or desires a person already holds. And as for mainstream Christianity he clearly doesn’t follow the word Jesus spoke about caring for the stranger and the poor. Nor does he follow Jesus command that the greatest amount the them should be the servant of the people. Hugs

All to pretend to pay for tax cuts for the upper class wealthy at the expense of the lowest income poor medically need members of society. It is not a bug, it is what the wealthy and the rich members of congress wanted. Fuck those who have no money because those who have far more than enough money want more. In the US profit is king and people are just fodder to give the wealthy more profit until they are used up and die. Hugs

Even Sisyphus gets a bathroom break.
If it’s got reliable WiFi, I’ll take it! After I win the lottery, of course. 🙂Imagine not hearing the neighbors barking dogs, others music or TV shows, no one coming to the door to preach their religion to you. The only thing is I would need a heliport for Amazon deliveries.
Republicans are always taking credit for projects they voted against and Trump made happen without them.
You cannot believe anything a Republican says
MAGA hypocrites never let a demonstrable truth stop them from telling a lie!
Look them in the eye and tell them how Joe Biden wanted to codify reproductive rights, ensuring them forever, but he was old. So, you voted for the Party that has repeatedly said they would ban abortion, and some of whom want to repeal the right of women to vote! Or, (just as bad) you decided not to vote at all.
Humans have questioned “Who Am I” as far back in our history as we first discovered we had a navel and could gaze upon it. Since then, the philosophers and prognosticators and teen-agers everywhere have come to one and only one conclusion:
Do define myself by my relationships? By my likes and dislikes? By the number of followers I have on TikTok (don’t even have an account)? By my past? Future? Hopes? Fears? By my employment? By my religion?
The past couple of months I have found myself adrift in a very strange place: one without my computer. It was crashing like a lead-footed blind man at Daytona! I thought it was a virus, then maybe a windows update snafu, then maybe a windows defender snafu (windows has a lot of snafu’s). I thought maybe I had a adblock issue, then a competing issue with my security software. I couldn’t go on line at all or the computer would crash. I struggled with it for a couple of months until I finally gave up and did a full factory image wipe. And, let’s be clear, I’m not Scottie. When I do a wipe I may as well have taken a sledgehammer to it because whatever that computer was is gone.
There went my favorite websites. My ways of spending time not working – even when I should have been working – were gone. I mean, who remembers all their passwords!?! I’ve got sites I’ve been going to for years that I put on a ridiculous password and saved it on the computer to never bother remembering it again. And they were all gone. I mean, what the hell am I supposed to do with my time now! I can’t tell you how stressful this was, and how dumb I felt feeling stressed about it.
So, I started reading more, and I mean a lot more. I went on a diet. I had a lot of work going on at my parent’s place and I started taking care of my own better. I cleaned my kitchen every day, my bathroom 3-times a week, kept caught up on laundry and even sorted through some of the junk I’ve allowed to pile up. I mowed the lawn and got rid of a pile of downed branches I had reserved for “later” (I have a lot of those “later” things – stuff I’ll take care of, ya know, … later). I didn’t even come into my office anymore. I was actually eating at the diningroom table! I know – sacrilege!
So, on Tuesday I began the work of putting this computer back together again, of re-establishing my very identity. Now, today, as I write this it’s Friday, the sink is full, laundry on the floor, dirty towels in the bathroom, I have a dirty plate and cup of cold coffee stagnating on my desk that I keep bumping with my elbow and somehow my life is now “right”. Truly, I found how the other folks live and I didn’t like it!
One thing I did also learn in all of this: I restarted Google and when I signed in I was presented with a number of bookmarked sites that I haven’t seen in years. A good third of them didn’t even exist anymore. Folks, let me tell you – Google Never Forgets! But, it’s nice to visit who I used to be 🙂

These scammers have no clue how to serve the people, how to represent the needs of the public nor how a government department should function. Hugs
