RichardMy wife and I danced this afternoon for the first time in 40 years. We know our Soc Sec will get ripped by the Republicans, and this after we barely managed to pay our propane bill. So in preparation for the end of our little already-squeezed-dry retirement we felt action was required. So what did we mid-70 years-old fools do? We danced and cried to "Higher Love", both the original and that wonderful Whitney Houston collab, FTW! 🤣 We danced! They can't take that away.

Iceberg Alley: A View of Enormous Icebergs Drifting in Front of Your Window - Hasan Jasim
Iceberg Alley, which stretches from the Arctic to the southeast coast of the island of Newfoundland, is the ideal location for iceberg viewing - even from your kitchen window while cooking the local favorite 'Jiggs supper.' You'll never run out of icebergs to see if you live in Canada's Iceberg Alley. And when the sea

Bob HorowitzRight now we have rain, hail, thunder and lightning, and there are fire trucks rushing up the block in front of the house. And I really need to get the Best Buy because our wifi routers died. But not when the roads are flooding between here and the Mission.
So here's a picture from the kitchen door instead.

Chad LoderBecause fascists lack a coherent political worldview, they have the biggest tent in politics. Contrary to popular belief, fascist movements do welcome all races, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
As long as you share hatred of some of the same groups, you can find a home in the fascist movement. If you're a trans woman who hates Black people, you'll find a home in the fascist movement (as long as you're willing to overlook transphobia).
If you're a Latino man who hates women and wants to dominate them, you'll find a home in the fascist movement (as long as you're willing to overlook racism). You'll be useful to the fascist movement as a token or ideological shield - they can use your marginalized identity to further their cause.
This is why you'll see gay fascists in a crowd of Proud Boys who are shouting "f*ggot", Black fascists storming the Capitol alongside people shouting the N-word at police, and Jewish fascists at an antivax rally standing next to people holding signs saying that COVID is a Jewish conspiracy.

It’s been relatively quiet in Walnut Creek. The rain has been minimal, if at all. And the sun even tried to come out a few hours ago. The breeze is starting to pick up. So now it’s just a waiting game for the atmospheric river or bomb cyclone to arrive.
