#Republicans who go on #CNN repeat the same talking points every time. WTF can’t the hosts and #Democrats prepare in order to respond? Do NOT give them credit for ANYTHING!! Stop them from lying. Refute their bullshit. BE PREPARED!! #journalism #uspol #NeoLibsArePartOfTheProblem

#Miami #Florida #Republicans “postponed” the upcoming 2025 elections until November 2026, ensuring that time-limited officials who are no longer eligible to run again will remain in power for another year. Voters did not have a choice. #fascism #lawless #autocracy www.miamiherald.com/news/loca…

What an amazing group of Bolivian #Cholita #skateboarding enthusiasts who share their love of skating while honoring their ancestry by wearing traditional Pollera. They are working to make their dream of building a skate park come true. #culture #bolivia www.youtube.com/watch

Amazing! This must be seen to be believed. #Nature and #science combined can be astonishing!! I can’t stop it with the exclamation points!!!! #mycelium #mushrooms #ecofarming #sustainability #climatechange www.youtube.com/watch

I’ve been having a lot of bad days of late dealing with a wide range of pains, brain fog, an accursed tinnitus that averages an 8 out of 10 on the loudness scale, unending exhaustion, and other issues. As a writer by trade, these are all crushing, but I keep trying to post.

What I need is to write something substantial, but for the past year or so I’ve been unable to do much. I haven’t blogged in weeks and filling my days with playing video games, watching YouTube, and drowning out the ringing in my head with music sessions in my AirPods is entirely unproductive.

In the middle of July I shall turn 57 and I’m nowhere near done yet, but the ongoing issues stemming from Long Covid, a bad motorcycle accident in 1990, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis have erected blockades that make it nearly impossible for me to engage in the one thing at which I’m actually decent.

Just ugh. #health #mentalhealth #writing #chronicpain

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Cure - The Head on the Door (1985). Fantastic album. Early Cure is often lumped in with electronica and new wave, but I think they’re really a proto alternative rock band using the tools that had become available. #music #KROQ #80s www.youtube.com/watch

What could possibly go wrong? #TFG’s just joking? #DOGE did it? Nuculer [sic] stuff is woke? Or maybe just get people out of the way of ramping up nuclear weapons programs. #uspol #NRC #science arstechnica.com/tech-poli…

I’ve decided I’m going to start a mobile carrier. TKN-Mobile has already started installing billions worth of 10G towers and our AI robots are crafting phones in America with magic. $5 a month for unlimited! Pre-orders open next week! #TFG #capitalism #scams #uspol appleinsider.com/articles/…
