Pence is 'nakedly lying' about Trump's intent on Jan. 6: Former Homeland Security aide https://www.rawstory.com/mike-pence-nakedly-lying/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
So last week our friend B hated Asteroid City, this evening Tom found Indiana Jones “tedious”. I agree that there were way too many car/motorbike/train/tuk tuk/plane chases and there was a heck of a lot of knocking out people with a single punch. Still, it’s good to remind younger viewers that Nazis are actually bad and deserve punching. Overall I found it quite entertaining and would give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

👋 to all of my #trans & #LGTBQ friends. We need to talk about the cis-het progressive/liberal problem, and I hope that you might be able to help me get through to the ones in my life.
I spent a few days with some old friends that I haven't seen in a while. At one point, Jason Aldean and #TransRights both came up in conversation. These people are solid #Democratic voters that hate all things #MAGA. They also happen to be Jewish, which I would think should make them sensitive to #fascism.
They don't watch #FeauxNews or any other right wing bullshit. They do, however, consume #Facebook & #Instagram feeds daily. It was their impression that trans people are forcing other people to use pronouns and make special arrangements for them. They also think that people uncomfortable with trans people should be free to bunk at camp in a cabin without trans people in it.
I 💯% know and believe that #TransRightsAreHumanRights but how can I more effectively pierce their myopic bubble?
🙏 Thanks
You ever read this? Might partially explain how we got here.

Pregnant woman killed, 4 injured in Houston shooting - UPI.com https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/07/22/pregnant-woman-killed-houston-shooting/1571690068479/
(Me: time after time, after time... too many guns) "One pulled a gun. When he pulled his gun, the other guy's girlfriend came out of her truck and came with a gun. They were talking back and forth about who would do what and however, and they started shooting at each other."
So I was a #Firefox hardliner back in the day, and eventually moved to #Chrome when it started kinda getting unusable in the late aughts.
Just fired it up on my phone and laptop and I gotta say I'm impressed. It feels lean and fast by comparison, and syncing my old Chrome stuff was completely painfree.

Don the con is such a fool, so ignorant, a loser. He hides it by being fake and bullying the people looking for a “strong man” to help them through their understandable grievances.
The closing is most poignant: Don't let yourself be a mark for this con man.
