I know this to be true. Please make us good students so we pass the test this time

How COOL a funny one to close my quote postings. Steal as much wisdom from other people as you can -Aziz Ansari en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis... In case anyone wanted the Wiki for the last quote. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aziz_An...

Some BOOKS are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. -Francis Bacon How very true I would add some should be spit out Mein Kampf being the best example. Mr Bacon to me is a famous Philosopher and I've read some of his primary work. Cool Dude check him out.

For precocity some great price is always demanded sooner or later in life. -Margaret Fuller Definition of precocity from Dictionary dot com- the development of certain abilities or behaviors at an earlier than normal age. I was high functioning early on so this one is kinda personal. Look up on WIKI

My new shades.

Happiness consists in frequent repetition of pleasure. -Arthur Schopenhauer. As always if you enjoy these quotes or the info below in the entry consider donating to Wikipedia, I see that Muskrat is trying to do things to take it down or put up fake info on the site. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_...

BEN IS ON FIRE, if you know my story you know I don't subscribe but I ask if you will, these guys are great and $8.33/$10 a month is like an old school newspaper these guys aren't beholden to any billionaires so GIVE. Trump’s Week Got RUINED… Meidas is WINNING!! open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

The first shots over the bow, no executive orders yet. But here is what he plans to do. www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

Thanks @hartmannreport.com for bringing this up Friday, always love the interesting stuff you bring up and having Sue's Stack so I can do a more deep dive is really great. Amazing article about the new tech being found in the lithium battery industry. interestingengineering.com/ces-2025/lit...

Heard about this on the @hartmannreport.com I really cannot wrap my head around the fact that there is ZERO pushback in Red States. We had a ballot initiative in Florida to overturn the ban and it got 57% to protect women's rights, 3 points short of passage. jessica.substack.com/p/four-state...

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.

My only regrets are the moments when I doubted myself and took the safe route. Life is too short to waste time being unhappy.- Dan Howell en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_...

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.- Mahatma Gandhi

More straight up deception. How do you advise and consent with no information. www.axios.com/2025/01/14/t...

With virtually ZERO ability to combat this, how do we make change. The right wing ecosystem with its propoganda aparatus and unlimited funds is a daunting challenge, but I will continue to post stuff like this and get the word out, please do the same. www.alternet.org/trump-tax-cu...

Today I’m endorsing @benwikler.bsky.social for DNC Chair, because if 2024 taught us anything, infrastructure alone won’t win elections. Dems proved we can out-raise, out-knock, out-text, out-call. It wasn’t enough. Ben gets the full scope of the fight ahead. Let’s build a DNC that fights for you.

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.- Carlos Castaneda. Interesting gentlemen, love the quotes idea though, don't want to discount it based on author's nonconformity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_...

Catch all article of Wildfire Issues, I recommend a full read, as there are about 5 different aspects to this story that are covered, gave me a lot of perspective. Biggest takeaway fire hydrants are to fight a house fire or a mall/apartment complex, not a wildfire, www.latimes.com/environment/...

Common Dreams article referenced in a portion of yesterday's @hartmannreport.com . This article link along with others used for Thom's 3 hour show can be sent directly to you by signing up at Thom.TV @jo-z.bsky.social no clip but here's the article www.commondreams.org/news/house-r...

As the word is not getting out in December the Biden administration had asked Congress for about $40 billion for the relief fund but the bill eventually passed provides a lower amount, $29 billion. This is what we have in reserve for the Wildfires. apnews.com/article/disa...

We have teamed up with Mendez & Sanchez to provide free In-N-Out Burgers, free drinks, and other free meals to first responders and those affected by the fires. Please share.

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.- Joseph Addison Another entry from Joseph, gave one of his 8 days ago, so no WikiPedia, so another PSA for a donation to this resource.

What coverage do all members of Congress have? I know it is a lot better than my Florida Medicaid coverage where I am in a months long fight to get syringes to inject B-12 every 2 weeks. My company won't pay 50 cents a month to combat my deficiency of this mineral. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-g...

This ~ 💯%

Here is a thread of California animal welfare orgs who need donations to help deal with the wildfire crisis (but they VERY DESPERATELY need adopters and foster homes too if you live close enough to help in that way): 1. Los Angeles County Animal Care: ambvzmmw.donorsupport.co/page/FUNAFLE...

Seems timely!

Can someone logically explain ideas, I am at a loss and consider myself pretty open minded as far as discussing the perspective of others. The whole Trump fascination as embodiment of American Exceptionalism, it doesn't survive research and his acolytes = thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/the-brolig...

Is that enough, I use Substack for news and watch YouTube for most of my creators. Patreon is also out there to fill niche interests and causes. Should we be worried about these alternatives bending the knee more so than they already have. At the same time should we be promoting other outlets?

All the news out there with this overarching theme of misinformation, an exodus of many different folks from X/Twitter as well as META's app suite of Threads, WhatsApp, Instagram, and FaceBook all of us here having migrated to this platform as a replacement for some of our Social Media Needs. BUT

It is CNN so take that into account, but they have some quotes and analysis from actual experts and REAL causes so wanted to post some non bullshit. Hope this gives more perspective and less gaslighting. www.cnn.com/2025/01/10/u...

I’m a huge fan of U.S. Vets and was proud to support their DC location. Veterans who are displaced in LA can reach out to them for assistance.

The Magats talk about cuts to Social Security, as well as the rest of the social safety and this woman as well as others like her suffer the consequences. We are the richest country in the history of the world and we can't take care of people like this. Deeply sad. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

This is worth another watch
