Kleptocracy. Corruption. It's what's for dinner. Those utensils got DOGE'd. Why would Biden do this? They're *our* utensils, comrade. "...a bag of plastic forks purchased at the local Save-On..." 🤣 #uspol #Trump

A letter from the White House Butler's Office reporting that a large number of dining utensils have gone missing, that they have had to resort to ""...a bag of plastic forks purchased at the local Save-On...", and stating emphatically that "THIS MUST STOP NOW."

@RonSupportsYou Here's just a taste. Most of them were blocked, but some still made it through. There are pages and pages and pages of these. I get almost *no* spam that isn't from Democrats. It's infuriating.

They say never judge a book by its cover, but while I enjoyed the Last Horizons series by Will Wight, the covers are... not great. Especially Knight; I hate to be too critical, but it looks like something my nephew might have done in junior high with a […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

@darkuncle "He thought of the tiny sparks that moved and thought and eased more sparks together to form and ease even more sparks, the strength of which would ease together still more, tinier, sparks which, in proper conjunction, made Power. The tiny sparks […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

He made Connection and watched the gauge swell as he and his suit drew from the very heart of the ship the thing that seemed in
awesome abundance everywhere: Power. Power throughout the ship for thousands and thousands of different uses. And more Power in the
combined form of Fleet. And even more from home. Power. Everywhere, sheer Power. Force. Might.

He thought of the tiny sparks that moved and thought and eased more sparks together to form and ease even more sparks, the strength
of which would ease together still more, tinier, sparks which, in proper conjunction, made Power. The tiny sparks would then ease beside
Power. And together, with awesome brute force and intricate silken precision, wonders could be created. Wonders like the Starship Terra,
‘whose marvelous stature and beauty could serve as man’s ultimate loving gesture to the darkness which surrounded him—We are good. We
are hopeful. We have built this. See her, the Starship Terra, the jewel of our being

But jewels did not long shine when Power was still about. Not when any fool could reach it. Felix, deep within the jewel already, could
rend and tear her. He could grind her workings to rubble, blight her glowing entrails. He could disembowel this jewel of Man.

For he had Power.

Inside these layers of plassteel armor even a fool such as he, a dumb broken sonuvabitch with no future and a past he refused, could
stomp the idol to clay.

Such power had thrilled him at first. Later, he was appalled. Now . .. now, he didn't care.

Felix read a dial. It was time. He left.

From red hats, to red shirts. #uspol

An image from Star Trek showing Kirk and Spock standing over three dead red-shirted crewmen. Overlaid text reads: "From red hats to red shirts… Trump and Musk don’t care about you!", "MAGA farmers (that sold food to USAID, bankrupted by Trump tariffs)", "Unvaccinated children (with MAGA parents)", and "MAGA Americans (on Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security "

"Oh Scotty boy, the hills, the hills are callin'." That was what I would sing to you. Because, of course, your name wasn't Danny, and I didn't know the words to the song. I called you "buddy" and "doofus" and "butthead", and it never bothered you, because […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I feel this in my bones. In preschool apparently I led a revolt against nap time, which made all of the teachers and parents angry. How I wish I understood the value of a good nap...

The only answer to the paradox of tolerance.

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it. In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance. Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated. Inspired by “Tolerance is not a moral precept” by Yonatan Zunger

Millie wanted to make her displeasure known, but I couldn't tell what she was unhappy about. Whatever it is, I'm sure she thinks it's my fault somehow. 😆

We must implement mandatory (mail-in) voting in the United States. Based on the Electoral College "winner take all" method, if "Did not vote" were a candidate in 2020 Biden would have won 280 electoral votes, Trump 153, and "DNV" 105, making them the most […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
