At The Risk Of Riding A Joke Like A Desperate Jockey On A Lagging Nag (made A Couple Of Target Jokes

This is so cool to learn, especially at my age. I am a white, Anglo-Saxon (predominantly Scots-Irish by decent...), Protestant male, and always considered POC to be the same as me, in all ways. But I've not taken the time to get to know the deeper history (and its key founders) of the fight for abolition. This was eye-opening for me, especially since two of the most prominent of those Founders, Ms. Tubman & Mr. Douglas, wagered great risks to themselves in pursuit of righteous things.

This is why I am concerned: history is being changed, rubbed out, redacted, muddled and muddied, and sometimes disappeared. That's scary as some of us older, more open and receptive people don't know these things, so I can only imagine how few a number of people who even know to ask the questions, let alone ask the right questions... As I said, scary...

Let history stand as continual lesson about how far we've come, and the strides made, and, yes, to the work ahead. But don't let factions play that old divide-and-conquer ploy. Push back and look at history for the clues strewn all about, on the topics of peace, equality, and love of every kind.

Peace, kids...

I bet folks in Dresden wished that they could have had that back in World War II... maybe they'd have seen "it" coming...

Those people had just a really crappy Valentine's Day in 1945...

This HAS to be in California.

There couldn't possibly be any way a virus could be transmitted through an act of spreading one's legs, could there? Perish the thought...

I have a discussion place in the Loathing lobe of my brain for people who come up with garbage like this...

Food that tastes so good it's almost like it was kissed by Mama!

Yes, ma'am, I would absolutely love more mouth gravy, and don't skimp on the spit!

Yum, yum, yummy!

Scientists Have Observed Octopuses "Punching" Fish Silly

Researchers at the University of Lisbon have confirmed that octopuses will not hesitate to check a fish by smacking it senseless.

Already knew that... I have witnessed it scuba diving off Panama City, FL. I would love to have the reckless abandon and impunity of these mollusks sometimes...

I do think, however, that there is a deep-seated reason for the aggression, and it stems from the very likelihood that it could wind up as calamari. Solution: Punch a fish in the face, knock its ass out and maybe offer it up as an alternative dinner choice to a seafood aficionado. (I don't think it will work, but I like the way they think...)

If I were inclined to wage a pointless war with someone given over to vast, sweeping generalizations, I would have to counter the OP, by asking: Does capitalism truly suck, or is it more that your grasp of that system and your aptitude for creating income and wealth suck?

I'm thinking it's the latter. Its archetypal of this site's population...

Sorry to all the BO$$ BABES out there but working sucks, money worship sucks, capitalism sucks, online influencing sucks.

A pseudo-wisdom I heard many years ago says that, "You can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friends' noses." This photo is strong evidence to refute that...

Someone's naughty button is swollen...

This is what a lot of us forgot while we were being frightened and isolated last year, with the deluge of propaganda from all sides and the usurping of liberties and livelihoods assaulting us hourly. We forgot grace and mercy. That led to 'Karens', and that led to animosity and being offended and the word 'racist' dividing us further. And for what? To set us back a half a century, to a time of violence and blindness? No, we need to come together like the girls in this group project video, and make a difference in another living thing's life. We'd want the same consideration from other superior life, if we ever woke up to find that we were no longer apex...

Do some good. Do it a month from now, 2 weeks from now, 10 days from now, HELL! Do it tomorrow... it doesn't matter, as long as you do something good and in tune with your Higher Power, be it God and Jesus Christ, or The Universe, or Ganesha, or any pantheon of any creed...

I try to do some good every day. It's its own reward...

Love these kids and their selflessness. I bow to thee, ladies...

I truly wonder if people think this kind of money just magically appears. What I wonder, though, is HOW is this money generated?
