Invective: "A denunciatory or abusive expression or discourse."

Learned a new word today. Nice. 👌

Reminds me of that Mitch Hedberg joke format..


The thee letter agencies used to lie and manipulate the American public.

They still do, but they used to too.

@judgedread the vast majority of people will never look back at history and say wow that was actually fucked up teaming up with the god father of commies…

> If you have morals that don't align with mine, you're far right.

You're a faggot.

I thought about how my son would feel if he lost me, and realizing how he'd cry and never fully recover really got to me.

@mirjanx

Sure, I do; I didn't spend 25 years teaching politics without forming a good idea about the political spectrum.... but I'm interested at what prompted your remark, who do you think I've allocated to a far right portion who in your view is a centrist? I'm genuinely interested....

@ChrisMayLA6 @mirjanx the left. This has made mainstream media confused. Previously it was very convenient to call the right nazis and antisemites, but now, all of a sudden, there are leftists who are way more antisemitic than the right. I enjoy very much the confusion of mainstream media nowaways, since "you're a nazi" is now an argument (or childish accusation) that is now coming from both the left and the right! ;)

It's All Downhill From Here
I'm sorry to say this is the case. I have spoken to a few people, two specifically that I have in mind, who up until recently were friends. They made it very clear no matter how much I am willing to discuss and try to find middle ground on issues, they want "all republicans to die". 9 years of the mainstream media calling everyone right of Stalin a "nazi" has radicalized millions of people on the left in this country. Violence is not the answer. As things have gotten worse, I thought of where the tools to deescalate this would come from. If Open conversation and the sharing of ideas could lead to cooler heads prevailing. Charlie Kirk was the off ramp, and an Antifa-affiliated DSA leftist killed him.

Poland after the war:

"Hey, we helped you win the war, so we're good now right?

..you're going to give us our freedom back, right?"

@judgedread in school we learned that we dropped the nukes and all was good. They didn’t teach us that we handed over Eastern Europe to the Russians and actually we were responsible for starting the Cold War..,

Went up a mountain and the kids (6 & 4) managed and actually enjoyed the 5+ km hike and 200+ meter climb. I didn’t really expect that.

While doing research for buying a new car recently, I learned (after two decades of driving cars) that best practice when parking is neutral ➡️ handbrake ➡️ release foot brake ➡️ Park. To avoid putting load on the transmission, especially on slopes.

...Its almost like letting a government agency make nation-wide health decisions just because they are in a position of authority was never a good plan 🤔

"Open"AI is scanning its users' chats and reporting them to the cops.

If a single bueacrat in DC can compromise the health of millions of Americans, maybe that's a sign that the government has entirely too much control over healthcare? 🤷‍♀️
