I posted this double rainbow on my FB photography page and wrote "What a fantastic rainbow for Pride Month. 🌈."

That triggered a loss of followers and a bunch of comments about how the rainbow can only mean one religious thing. A preacher's comment was the worst.

It hard to come up with words about the people that reacted that way.

County at center of 2020 election controversy avoids takeover by Georgia's GOP legislature.

Georgia's election board has unanimously voted against taking over voting in Fulton County. rawstory.com/fulton-county-ele

This is absurd. Either school regulations supersede, or they are worthless. Maybe they really don’t want to protect our children or educators?

The West Wing is the same genre of competency porn as Star Trek, but with fewer transporter accidents

One of the greatest lies people propagate is that all opinions are valid: that every position is somehow equally worthy of merit and deserving of consideration.

@stoprak@mas.to Sometimes you gotta call a plow a plow.

@amaditalks Sometimes I feel sorry for White folks. It’s no more fair to them than any of the rest of us. @TomSwirly @jik

@amaditalks Sweeping generalizations are overused. Users of social media need to stop using words like “always” and “never.” It’s rarely one or the other. And rarely all <fill in the blank> people. @TomSwirly @jik

My guess would be the guy who installed solar panels on the White House instead of the one who took them down.

To the GOP MAGAts coming down on Hunter Biden’s plea deal…

Sometimes when you admit to fucking up and take a plea, it works out better than denying everything and attacking everyone who tries to enforce the law.

@amaditalks I wouldn’t go that far, and if all churches are taxed, that would still be a good thing. @jik

@TomSwirly The world has become nonbinary, and people still want to see it in black and white with not even a shade of grey.

@jik @AlliFlowers @amaditalks No, the takeaway, "Nothing will ever change, you must choose between two right wing, pro-war, pro-fossil fuel, pro-big business parties, and if you don't choose the slightly less awful one, then you are a bad person," is so demoralizing that people simply want to change the subject, and talk about small areas where some progress might be possible.

@jik Definitely not the key point, but an easy thing to address and slow them down. @amaditalks
