Will the Center (Finally) Hold?

And spare us Speaker Jim Jordan?

The Bulwark

Was just walking up 1st Avenue after picking up some conveniences from the local CVS, and there's an old guy walking in front of me carrying a boombox blasting Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night".

He walks past these two elderly women who were chitchatting on the corner of 20th St and they started dancing and yelled "Oh my! Sinatra! Wonderful!" and they all broke down singing along to the "doobey doobey doo...." scatting bit there at the end.

From the birdsite. I'm afraid no one will be able to replicate this once it's gone.

Powerful speech by President Joe Biden before the United Nations, with President Zelenskyy also in attendance.

Screenshot from CNN Live Feed of President Biden’s Remarks

“Russia alone bears responsibility for this war. Russia alone has the power to end this war immediately. And it’s Russia alone that stands in the way of peace.

Russia’s price for peace is Ukraine’s capitulation, Ukraine’s territory, and Ukraine’s children. Russia believes that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequence."

"But I ask you this: If we abandon the core principles of the United States to appease an aggressor, can any state in this body feel that they are protected? If we allow Ukraine to be carved up, is the independence of any nation secure?

I respectfully suggest the answer is ‘no.’ We have to stand up to this naked aggression today, and deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow.

That’s why the U.S. together with our allies and partners around the world will continue to stand with the brave people of Ukraine as they defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity and their freedom.”

@airbagmoments I accidentally followed the profile that used your creepy FrankenMusk image from Tweaker.

Gasbag! My old chum.

What weird fuckery is it that the Apple App Store puts 'Truth Social' at the top of the search results for 'Mastadon,' ahead of 'Mastadon for iPHone and IPad?'
