Eilmeldung ⚠️ Akuter Fall von Männerschnupfen ☠️☢️ könnte aber auch die afrikanische Schweinepest sein ⚠️

Morgen mal bei diesem Dr. Robert Koch anrufen, der soll ja ganz gut sein bei aussichtslosen Fällen.

In the world of #politics we have equated that to access to a #ballot box. We pay that price for our ignorance and sloth. Collectively, politically we have been #moribund. At best. Definitely asleep on our watch. That really fucking hurts. It should. Nobody deserves it, but that's what time it is.
America the Rogue State

The evisceration of the rule of law at home and abroad solidifies America as a rogue state.

The Chris Hedges Report

#Mastoprompt for Saturday 6/7/2025:

I never imagined I'd live to see America gasping in its #moribund twilight. We are a nation flickering like the last embers of a dying fire; our vibrant dreams now dimmed in a crumbling empire. Amid the chaos and quiet lament of fallen ideals, I watch as a storied era draws its final breath, each moment heavy with the sorrow of inevitable decline.

#Prompt: #Moribund

From my 17yo poet-son - https://www.poetry.com/poet/Dylan+Miller+-+Writer - (give him a like or two on his poetry page!):

Moricumber

Can't get moribund's
Meaning in my head.
So it's cumberbunds
I'll speak about instead...

Tie around your waist
A *moribund* with haste
I spent my fashion fund
On a lovely new *moribund*.

"Kacsmaryk is the go-to judge for the far right seeking to implement its legal agenda. He cited the #ComstockLaw, a #moribund but not dead law from the #19thcentury that was the #epitome of #censorship and #enforced #moralcodes for decades. Unsurprisingly, the Comstock law took a huge toll on the #LGBTQ+ #community. "

#WordyWednesday: Moribund

A very dramatic way of saying "on the verge of death."

Synonyms include: terminal, doomed, fated, mortally ill, perishing, declining, expiring, on one's deathbed, on one's last leg, and one foot in the grave.

Not to be confused with the Monty Python parrot sketch (that bird was completely deceased).
