If convicted and sentenced to prison, do you think it is fair that George Santos should have to go to jail even though none of his crimes involved violence? 🤔

Shame on CNN. That was disgusting.

In the words of Garry Kasparov:

"If you give would-be fascists all your microphones and megaphones they don’t need guns to take over."

If I wanted to write and edit something on a very small device that would fit in my pocket a Palm OS PDA is legitimately more pleasant to do that on than a smartphone. (I am literally editing smolZINE on my m500 as we speak)

Interacting with text, aka actually doing something useful with a pocket computer, is so much easier. The stylus perfect for selecting text. The shortcut strokes for copy and paste built into the OS are quick and convenient. Even switching between apps is faster and easier.

This is simultaneously praise for how well designed Palm hardware and software is and an indictment of how garbage smartphones are for doing stuff you should be able to do easily on a computer.

Except for brains and wit and a few other qualities, MTG is the same as AOC.

I'll sign on to 'results based pay' for teachers the day Congress gets the same deal.

“Immediate” cease-fire in effect between #Israel and Palestinian militants, according to state TV channel in #Egypt.

#Introduction
My name is Karen, which used to be a perfectly good name, but you know what happened to it. Anyway, I live in Colorado with my husband and our kids live nearby. I am retired from teaching ESL to every age from kinder to adults. I loved my career.
I try to be a positive and encouraging person, but that does not mean I am okay with much of what is going on. If you vote Republican please don’t follow me, we are not morally compatible.

It’s always a good day to remember just how corrupt Koch-backed Senator Joe Manchin is. Rolling Stone has detailed his crimes. #IndictJoeManchin #KochIsEvil #AFP #CorruptGOP #GOPTraitors

I know people whose minds are so full of defensiveness, opinions, assumptions that they can't experience the present moment.

Exercise:
"Nex" is a neologism meaning "New Experience". Remind yourself: every moment is a "nex".
Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. When you open them, see everything around you as if for the first time. See and feel what's happening right now, without trying to change it and without intention or thinking.
*Now* is an experience you've never had before.
