I would like to add a holiday that once celebrated peace, but now celebrates militarism and war: Veterans Day (US). Not long ago, it was St. Martin’s day, a feast that commemorates a Roman soldier who abandoned his military office to become a monk. It was customary to sign peace treaties on his feast day for this reason. Included in this was Armistice Day, the end of World War 1. Eventually in the US this was changed to Veterans Day in 1954.

How cool! Give me a time machine and some antibiotics and set me up with an English painter’s guild in post-plague 14th century!

My computer skills? Not far. My house painting skills? I guess maybe 200 years, but I’m not excited about the prospect of using lead-based paint and wood ladders. As a jazz-trained musician, I guess to the 1940s.

This is very bizarre.

Many foolish trees voted for the logging company because they promised to chop down the trees the foolish ones didn’t like. They believed the message from the logging company that the forest was unhealthy not because of unregulated logging, but because of the trees that looked a little different.

Bros flew 20+ hours from South Korea for important briefing: “no fatties on the frontlines.” It would be unreasonable to not be pissed.

I agree. I also hope there’s someone to actually root for.

I don’t like him, but this is funny.

I’d rather my part of the public money go to help an alcoholic neighbor than to subsidize a certain Coastal Elite’s habit of buying golf courses and ballrooms.

Monkey see, monkey do. Coming to a USA near you.

Can confirm. Had a guest jazz band director in college from ‘Bama and he would say things like “y’all play like you’re from Mississippi; can y’all not read music?!”

It’s also hard to leave. Many of us would leave if we had the means. Even for those who wish to stay and fight the blossoming authoritarianism must wage a nearly hopeless battle against powerful disinformation machines.

Pennywise sold his operation to a private equity firm which eliminated the use of balloons, opting instead to utilize permanent arrow indicators, saving approximately $0.03 on every child murder.

And openly accepting a winged bribe from Qatar. It boggles my mind that the better world leaders, including a few US politicians, don’t understand how he operates and get in on the game. Give him money and flattery and he’ll do whatever the hell you want.

Obama had the house and senate his first term and all we got was shitty healthcare and drone bombing wedding receptions. We need a new opposition party.
