@artfromark My apologies. It’s exceedingly difficult to determine who is talking to whom sometimes.

Yah, they’re inflating an investment bubble again. It’s almost as if the kleptocrats are trying to steal as much as they can before it all falls apart for them.

Deficits don’t matter.–Dick Cheney

At least Cheney consistently applied the axiom. Mnuchin’s running things now; for him and Nancy Pelosi, deficits don’t matter so long as the spending…[Read more]

@haikugal Bernie Sanders made what our parents or grandparents called “common sense government” thinkable again. He did widen the Overton Window’s left edge back out to include the vision of FDR and LBJ, simply by getting out there and talking about it.

No matter what anyone(obviously not you) thinks, criticizing, no matter how harshly, a…[Read more]

@peacecorps I don’t “fall in love” with political leaders like so many people, especially liberals and some Republicans, do. I don’t give a shit about personalities. The fact is that Bernie betrayed his own movement when he abjectly capitulated like he did to Obama and Biden, getting absolutely nothing in return, and then he betrayed the entire…[Read more]

I’ll vote for him in the unlikely event the Greens make the Ohio ballot. It’s damned near impossible to do when they can’t send petitioners out to gather signatures. How convenient.

Please don’t put words in my mouth. I never said, or even thought, he was evil. Weak, craven, and selfish, sure, but not evil.

Thanks! @twowaystreet

@punxsutawney Scientists are flinging hypotheses and theories about Covid right and left, and the former are frequently disproven a couple of weeks or months later as they learn more. But the media, and most internet posters, never mention what’s basic scientific caveat.

It’s suspected that the virus may have longterm health effects. Nobody knows…[Read more]

The black represents the Aboriginal people. The yellow disk is the sun, the giver of life. The red is actually ocher, representing both the earth and the ocher used in sacred rituals.

At a protest in Adelaide. The Australian government didn’t officially acknowledge the flag until 1995. @hasslecat

1969 is also close, but not quite the right decade. @pam2

@hasslecat

@hasslecat Wrong decade, but you’re not all that far off.
