.....Avocados". You would think a surgeon would have better things do, no? Funny, except , because the internet, you know.

Oh noes!! She's black too!!!

.....address at Northwestern University is, I feel, one truly appropriate for our times. In his telling the new graduates that "Empathy and kindness are evolved states of being", he really puts the right's politics of cruelty into perspective.

.....out the second and third photos in the CraigsList ad to see the "custom gun locker". I would hope (but truly can't be sure) that the firearms are not included in the sale. Mind you this is the sane part of my state, the part that elects good, progressive Dems every year, despite the deranged lot over the mountains in my part of WA. Closer you get to Idaho, the more nuts in the fruitcake.

....smug expressions and fucking Stetson hats makes me both sick and angry. You idiots and cowards bear some responsibility for these deaths, and if you can't accept that, or even act like you do by taking that dumb hat off and showing a little respect for those dead kids, you and your pride don't belong in law enforcement. Quit your job, retire, go do something else and please, please don't expect to get work after retirement as a "school security officer" as you may have been thinking.

.....with creating a entire new government agency, they pushed through laws allowing it to tap into main telephone trunk lines to monitor and record massive numbers of telephone calls? The fear was that our privacy was being eroded by an overzealous response to national security. If these same republicans are now panicking trying to recall conversations they had on January 6th, I hope that consideration of this reality that they created adds to their fears.
