Forums vs Real Time is a thing. I will never sit here with my foot tapping waiting for your response. I respect you and your life...and get that you travel across the holler between place to place...we both have lives.

Forums allow us to lead our lives and yet communicate like we do.

You (MarkJ) do get to have a following...I'm just one of many.

😉



In that same game they had a chat feature but posts were here and gone, We started using skype on account of it left a record of what was discussed. If you were in a different timezone, asleep, or was away for whatever reason, you could quickly get up to speed on what had happened and been discussed while you were away.  Forums are just better.

Sad to see this. I respected Elon for his space chops. He has pushed the limits for space exploration. I still love Steve Jobs - a tyrant who told Obama that he was a one term President. Apple remains my go to technology. I asked my kids about a recent revelation that I was paying for YouTube Music and Apple Music - and which should I stick with? They said Apple does everything better. My oldest daughter and my son know all...also discussed ChatGPT with them. In this moment between you and I.......man oh man. Not so sure about any of it.

Elmo has just lost his mind.  So naturally he leans hard right nut job.

Wrong . The land belongs to the Jews.

I reconciled this a long time ago in my soul...no one gets to own land. We are just a species known as humans that think we get to own portions of the Earth. Who decided that? It's like saying we own a part of space or the moon. It's all BS. Look, I play the game...but recognize that it's game.

"..#Ukraine’s security is our security. As allies, the UK & US fight aggression. We stand up for freedom. We stick by our friends. And we win. I urge the #Congress to continue its proud support for #Ukraine’s fight against Putin’s aggression.

I am calling out the #TrumpStooges in Congress as Putin-owned #traitors who support overthrow of our government. Trump supporters are disloyal, anti-American traitors.

#MagaMike and republicans' open fealty to Putin, a hostile foreign intelligence agent, who is one of the most infamous cold-blooded killers in human history & wanted war criminal.

Mike Johnson & republicans are blocking a bill that would supply ammunition to #Ukrainian soldiers, despite the widespread support in Congress and support of the American people. Showing the world that Republicans are anti-American & disloyal traitors to our allies and our constitution.

What does Putin have on this creepy creature?

Does anyone remember him from high school?  .."

Elmo has just lost his mind.  So naturally he leans hard right nut job.

But why? Still trying to figure out how he took that left turn. He's effed up Twitter now known as X. Why?

I think being middle class, working 40 hours a week...we have a different view of life. We're not wealthy with crazy amounts of disposable income. I get to do fun stuff, skiing and jazz clubs in NYC...but I have to budget for that. I give myself a slush fund of about $400 a month for me. Bucket list stuff, like seeing the eclipse in April maybe a bit more. But I'm pretty frugal...don't do fast food or Starbucks ever. I eat organic...fortunately get 20% off because my daughter works there.

Just a guess but I think things start to go bad if and when you get to a point where people are afraid to tell you No.

"...Glenn Kirschner:
3 juries have unanimously found against Trump & the Trump Org; foreshadowing for his prosecutions

“...there is a clear pattern emerging, not only is Donald Trump losing court case after court case, but it's juries that are unanimously finding against him, time and again.”..."

"The film 2000 Mules made sensational claims: widespread election fraud had swung the 2020 election for Joe Biden. But lawyers defending the filmmakers have admitted in an Atlanta courtroom they didn’t have any evidence for these charges.

The admission came last December but wasn’t reported until Wednesday by the Atlanta Journal Constitution and Associated Press."

"...DID TRUMP KILL NAVALNY?
2+2=4

As we know, Putin plans his murders

The main reason Navalny lived was Putin's fear of repurcussions from the US, as Biden had threatened

But then...
Via Putin, Donald Trump ordered Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to block floor votes of weapons aid to Ukraine

Weapons aid blocked, Putin then had Navalny killed AND launches a massive 50,000 man attack in Ukraine

Today, Johnson ordered a two week House recess

PLAN COMPLETE.
GAME OVER | PUTIN WINS
#AureFreePress..."





Exactly...2+2=4

So for us, how are we going to make a difference, in our lives, to avenge Navalny? I'm still trying to figure this out. We can not sit comfortably and accept that an epic human being was killed.

"..Is it stupid that I'm trying to raise one billion dollars to protect my cat? Some might say so. But it is infinitely stupider that people have raised over $480,000 to cover Trump's legal fees.

So, please help me raise one billion dollars to protect Fishy. It is objectively not the worst way you could spend your money.

Legal ways?  Speak out, be heard, and make sure your representatives know what you think about it.
