Michigan has one person on death row for killing a kid but it is because he did something that caused him to be charged federally  and they are killing him. Michigan was the first political division in the English speaking world to ban the death penalty (unfortunately). Personally, I am pro-death in all it's many forms...abortion, execution, euthanasia, assisted suicide.... It seems a natural conclusion to a life poorly lived.

I am actually distracting them, while the CIA is infiltrating their sht. See, it all makes sense ;)
I'm kind of getting sucked into that tik tok shit and I think it's because of you.  I don't really care if the Chinese or the CIA is spying on me.  I hope they are.  I'd be flattered that someone showed an interest.

A dog story from Ukraine today. Dog was laying on the railroad tracks as a train was coming ...the dog was very sick and would not move. The dogs companion was another collie and when this dog realized that the other dog would not move off the track even with the train coming ...the dog laid down next to his friend and prepared to die with it. A Ukrainian soldier saw what was happening... Jerked them both off the tracks just before the train would have crushed them. The soldier and his buddies nursed the sick dog back to health... Both dogs now live together with the soldiers. Video was touching.
There's this movie about this dog that sits at a train station for 10 years waiting for his dead master to get off the train. It's true. I watched that movie once.  I can't watch it again.

Hamas wants Israel to kill civilians...as many as possible. That's the point. That's their whole schtick. It always has been...to get the world to condemn Israel and portray themselves as victims.

"..For most of us, if not all of us, there is literally nothing we can do to stop what is happening in #Gaza

But the *very least* we can do is be a witness to what is happening and to see it CLEARLY.

Because when this is over (whatever 'over' will look like), the Powerful will tell us that what we saw was NOT what we saw. They will try to erase the fact these people existed and had a right to exist. They had a right to be free.

They HAVE a right to be free.

I'm overwhelmed and overcome because there's only so much trauma we can bear. But WE, here in the U.S., are bearing *nothing* compared to what our Palestinian neighbors are bearing.

To look away is a comfort+privilege.."

Sht is entertaining. Also, you can learn news that the government is trying to hide. That’s why they want to ban it.

Howdy Folks! I’ve had the weirdest 24 hours and I’m still a bit confused. I fell asleep yesterday evening sometime but I have no idea what time it was. I guess I was super tired. Anyway, I woke up and fixed some coffee, took my shower, and basically got ready for the day. I opened the front door only to discover it was dark outside. That was a really strange feeling. I checked the clock and it was like 12:45 or something. I sat down with my coffee trying to figure out what was going on. I checked all the clocks in my house including my cell phone and iPad. After a few sips of coffee I discovered it was A.M. and suddenly realized it was the middle of the night or middle of the morning whichever. After having coffee and being up, there was no way for me to go back to sleep. I did a few things around the house and sat down to watch TV which usually puts me to sleep. I finally did fall asleep sometime around 7 or 8 and woke up again at 12:30 PM. I have felt completely out of sorts since.

My synopsis is the elderly revert back to infancy and get their days and nights mixed up all over again.

Hope y’all have had a better day or two whichever it may be.

You have to decide of you are with Putin or against him. You are pro Ukraine, then you have to be pro Israel because Putin is Palestine’s ally.
You know, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

I've done that. That moment of realization is jarring. It really makes you question your own sanity.

Sounds like an alien abduction to me.
OMG I never thought about that. Wonder why on earth they would choose to abduct me? Perhaps it was a study on senility?

I like waking up in a panic thinking I have to go to work and then realizing it's Saturday.  And yesterday, I found a 20 - in my wallet of all places -  after having thought I was flat broke for a couple days. Now I don't even need it....but I'm glad I have it.
