Looks like a better flea market than those around me :-)
The recent news is a challenge, though. I am angered and saddened by the US sending yet more weapons to Ukraine. My wife and daughter made it to the US from Ukraine but they still see the destruction.
We just found out a friend's cousin, someone my wife knows well, was killed in the bus station strike in Dnipro.
The US no longer has any concept of diplomacy. Now it's just a question of how many additional unnecessary deaths will be created as Joe Biden's war of choice continues. Perhaps it's symbolic that the House vote was on Hitler's birthday -
Only war mongers would be pissed off about children playing on the beach , thanks for the link, will be linking it today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
93, good lord, I had no idea. Sad he's so close to death, glad he's doing well, but should I be? He's apparently a dick, doesn't tip, etc. But people are people and I don't want anyone hurting. I'm tired of everything being complicated, I can see the appeal of late light religion/racism/etc. Just for the option of relating my brain for a few minutes.
Let's see...the House voted on A QUARTERLY $61 billion for Ukraine, plus many billions for Israel and Taiwan. Nothing for the border. In very local news, my $30 a month subsidy for internet was cancelled because "my" Congress let it drop. Yes, very small potatoes for some, but less than a year ago I was living on the remnants of old jars of pickles and mayo - well, hey, it was tartar sauce made with Duke's, so at least tasted good! and low carb! - and am doing somewhat better now, but fuck, maybe it is better to be an illegal immigrant (are we allowed to use that term? Is there a woke term for that?) in the US, since for all intents and purposes the US government is completely detached from its citizens except to make our lives a bit worse on an ongoing basis. Well, hey, getting close to November, at least we will get some totally insincere promises, or maybe they won't even bother with that this time.
And on Youtube, every once in a while, an ad pops up with Hunter Fucking Biden asking me for money.
Whatever Shatner is like in real life, I was moved by his tears upon getting to go to outer space. Although how much did that little trip cost, and how much air pollution was spewed. Then again, many years ago, I went to Cape Kennedy just to see the shuttles take off, quite a few times. Amazing and heart-stopping until things seemed okay. Now I feel like space exploration is for rich folks' benefit if things all go south, with a side of looking for profit.
4/20 - my son and grandson "celebrated", but alas, my dreams of being a happily stoned granny have been dashed to pieces. Every type of edible just makes me dizzy and nauseous and a bit contentious. For at least 24 hours. Yeah, yeah, I am already contentious, blah blah blah. I am informed that my mind just refuses to relax and let go and whatever. Habit of a lifetime, it seems. On the other hand, I have now memorized that brut is the driest sparkling wine (extra dry is sweeter than brut) and Malbec is not only good for me, but a good Malbec is dry and soft and just lovely. And the effects do not make me nauseous for a whole day and night.
The place where I am living now is surrounded with shops that sell every kind of edible and whatever, and recreational weed is on the Florida ballot in November. Although I think that my son buying bags of grass from friends and buddies is a sort of tradition that would be missed. Been years since that happened, and some of those folks were awesome. Oh, and my son has a medical thingy for pot, PTSD.
My perfect Florida, besides no money or housing worries, would be to live near the beach - I will be gone before it is underwater - and somehow also near the Beer Shed, which is one of the greatest little fairly unknown bars in the area. Right on a river, not visible from the road, mostly word of mouth. I learned there, after I moved here in 1987, that someone I would have dismissed as a redneck, from my lofty quality engineer perch, was more capable of talking about Hemingway or whatever than some of the people I worked with. With a much more nuanced political view than a Dem cultist.
Has anyone noticed that a LOT of people say "Democrat" Party now?
Pepe Escobar has a source who says Israel loaded an F-35 with nuclear stuff and intended to EMP Iran, but Russia shot it down. Most are saying no, did not happen, but Israel seems so off the rails now, I would not be surprised.
I can at least be grateful that out of all three LEE's in House, PA's (and my District Rep) Summer Lee voted NAY for this madness, keeping with her promise. This must show some signs of progress, with some AIPAC funded municipal councilwoman running against her in Lee's first re-election. So, I have to take that "win" when I can get it. Everyone else is out fishing... for AIPAC money, it would seem. The sacks of shit (do nothin Bob Casey and deranged zionist John Fetterman) stopped listening or hanging up on me long ago.
Who is there to admire (besides you, that is) is Niger. Thank you African nations. Tell these motherfuckers to get the hell out.
And, now... I'm off to a Jimmy Dore show (Oakmont, PA, at the Oakmont Theater), and hope to share a picture if you'll post it, OB.
Thx for the shout-out and greetings from Finland 😁

As my wife says, слава миру - glory to peace.
