Today I had my first ever pangolin sighting. It was a tiny one, probably a youngster. We walked with it to make sure it got safely where it was headed and away from the road. It’s taken 8½ years of hiking in Taiwan to have this neat experience. I feel so lucky!

⚠️ BREAKING:

China 🇨🇳 Faces Surge in Deadly Virus Outbreaks, Hospitals Overwhelmed as Fatalities Rise

China is grappling with a significant rise in infections from multiple deadly viruses, including COVID-19 and Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV).

For decades, Republicans have warned immigrants would come and steal American jobs.

Finally, they have a case that proves them right: A wealthy South African immigrant is now taking over the President's job.

Republicans cannot govern. This is true no matter how many times we are dumb enough to run this experiment. Republicans no longer build. They do not create. They bulldoze, destroy, burn, rape and pillage, they liquidate divisions to momentarily maximize shareholder value and then they cash out. They have no interest beyond momentary profit.

They cannot govern because good government is utterly at odds with their miserable ideology of greed, fear, and destruction.

It's just that simple.

I keep seeing that Musk had a hand in torpedoing the government funding agreement.

WTF?

He isn't an elected official or even an *un*elected one. (And Rump isn't prez yet, but we have him *telling* Congress what to do. So much for the balance of powers, amirite?)

I wake up every morning feeling like I've dropped through some rabbit hole into a truly warped alternate reality.

I do not like it here.

Theists:
A god surely could make its presence and wishes known easily, without need for humans to interpret.
