"Freewheeling"? Good God, it's not a comedy tour and the Post shouldn't be reviewing it as one. Do they realize that democracy is at stake?
On the trail, freewheeling Donald Trump counters scripted Ron DeSantis https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/03/14/trump-desantis-2024/

Blossom, a goose who lives on a pond in a cemetery, tragically lost her mate Bud. The staff at the cemetery noticed she was lonely & posted a personal ad seeking another match for her. The ad worked, & Blossom met Frankie, another widowed goose. They hit it off and are now inseparable. #MadeMeSmile

@DrPsyBuffy @ManOfRust having taken my mom who is almost 90 to appointments I can assure you it gets much worse . She’s physically frail but fine mentally. They called me in and the doctor proceeded to address his comments to me rather than my mom until she spoke up and said “if you want a medical practice where you speak to the person who brought the patient in you should switch to veterinary medicine”. The very elderly are treated like things, not people.

Clever match-up for energy conservation:
* Heating pools is expensive...
* Cooling hot-running data centers is expensive...
Combine them and you get ...
"Digital boilers" proven practical enough to be deployed to heat 65 pools & some Danish & Swedish homes.

Nebraska state senator Machaela Cavanaugh is 3 weeks into filibustering an anti-trans bill. "If this Legislature collectively decides that legislating hate against children is our priority, then I am going to make it...painful for everyone." https://apnews.com/article/filibuster-transgender-gender-affirming-therapy-bill-nebraska-cavanaugh-b9018fd1bf72112ca984ff58679eda6d

@Agora @StillIRise1963 @Lowie @AlliFlowers Yet, not one would display a bumper sticker proclaiming, “I am an ignorant racist.”
Ah, but an image is much more efficient and readily understood.

Oh, great! Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse…
We’re being attacked by a giant avocado!
I thought the giant blob was already in Florida and living in Mar a Lago.

@thepoliticalcat @StillIRise1963 @Lowie@universeodon.com They go to CA so they can stick it to the libs.
@DemocracyMattersALot If they follow me and they don’t have a profile, that’s the last thought I ever give them.
@N2Priest @RobertMaguire Under no circumstance should he be allowed to keep any of that money!

Once again my political hero - Elizabeth Warren - attacks the 1% instead of just bemoaning their crappy scams

The Glass-Steagall Act was the law of the land until 1999.
It prohibited banks from using their deposits to pursue high-risk investments — separating Wall St. from Main St.
I say bring it back!

Florida: Legislators Plan to Lower Age to Buy Guns from 21 to 18 - Owning the libs is making Florida more dangerous, less equitable and more callous. https://dianeravitch.net/2023/03/14/florida-legislators-plan-to-lower-age-to-buy-guns-from-21-to-18/ via @dianeravitch #DeFascist
@StillIRise1963 @Lowie@universeodon.com Our fear should not be increasing in 2023.
@DanaDee@mstdn.social @GatekeepKen Many of them allowed themselves to be misled and are still perfectly content voting against their own interests.

@StillIRise1963 I figure a lot. Cops around here love those open and shut cases and they won’t investigate anything they can possibly mark down as “accidental” or “natural causes.” Anyone who’s a member of a marginalized group is in danger. Especially if they don’t have family willing to stand up for them. When we all realize that and band together as allies, it may make it stop. There are more of us than there are of them.
@StillIRise1963 I really dislike living in the south.
