Babylon 5 was the show I wanted to like, knew I was supposed to like, was literally made for me by people who’s work I freaking loved elsewhere; but as much as I wanted it to, it just never really spoke to me.

The Russian Embassy in Sweden, in a rude comment, confirmed the strike on the Swedish company SKF’s plant in Lutsk
So I am told.
That’s really not the point though, is it.
I told my wife this morning, I think his lil plan is to go on TV for this press conference, declare the whole thing a witch hunt, claim it’s because Jack Smith and all his mean judge friends have a boner for Trump, and everything’s fine, it’s all a sham.
He’ll think this completely absolves him, because he has come out and told ‘the truth’ and all, and he’ll waddle off back to Mar-a-lago, where the Deputies will be waiting for him.
I mean, I know what you’re saying, and I have some weird shit happening too from time to time, but I just got to say I have similar shit happen on reddit.
Unlike reddit, I have hope that this will just get better.
I’ll take ducttape and good vibes anytime :)
There’s always the therapist!
J/K, the therapist might not care for that lol 😝
could you be just a little more specific? are talking toothpaste, charmin, downy, ketchup bottle, your significant other? tiny teddy bear? I’m just riffing here, in the absence of guidance.
Our household video consumption is pretty evenly balanced between broadcast and streaming.

It’s what Trolls do in order to misdirect the energy in a discussion. Don’t feed 'em.
My gut reaction when I first heard this story break was simply ‘Giuliani’.
I do not question any of that. My point is, the republican party has been stirring this pot a long time, and as long as the money keeps pouring, they cant be arsed, as the brits say.
It’s got to be stopped at the source. We’re already at the point that guys are like this everywhere. One stands in the foyer of the Kroger just about every afternoon 3 blocks from my house.
Wearing a ball cap with a thin blue line flag, armed to the teeth, in a flag-wrapped t-shirt, glaring at anyone who walks by with a smile their face.
His body language, the sidearm he’s wearing, his clothes - it all screams that if you’re aren’t mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, you must be a fuckin’ democrat.
That is a feature of the republican party. If it isn’t addressed soon, some sort of war will be the only way it gets addressed.
There are a lot of people who would like you to think that disinformation is harmless; that if you buy into bullshit that it’s your own fault; and that the ‘people that matter’ know the truth.
This man bought into the fire hose of shit that is continuously, endlessly spewing a mixture of exaggerations, half truths and outright lies. He took it all very seriously, and he paid with his life.
Ask yourself, do you think this man was one of the ‘people who matter’ to his family? It sounds like some of them agree with, and listened to him and the fire hose.
This is a fucking tragedy. This man is a casualty of the fight for democracy, and it is a damn fight when people are getting shot for it. Not because he bought into some bullshit; but because he was fed a line of shit by people he trusted. His political party.
This has got to stop, and I think that it surely will.
Let’s hope it doesn’t have to be at the expense of another man’s life.
Another husband, father, grandfather, uncle or brother. Or worse, whole families.

I mean, there’s a lot of motivation to not do anything with twitter but stay away from it
