So I have to think that if an authoritarian politician doesn’t care about his approval numbers, what people think of him, does it make you wonder if that authoritarian politician plans to do something to stay in office when his term is up?

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Don't skip over this. Most all that's wrong with America is the virtual STD the GOP got & spread from its decades of humping Ayn Rand. You know, libertarians who always bloviated about government tyranny who now eagerly celebrate *their* government tyranny. Their hero was nearly as vile as her hero.

open.substack.comDid Ayn Rand Plant the Ideological Seed That Trumpism Is Harvesting Today?From a killer she once called an “ideal man” to a political movement built around radical self-interest, the roots of today’s assault on government run deeper and darker than most Americans realize.

Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

open.substack.com/pub/margaret... “Should respect for the institution of marriage mean that an abused ex-wife should insist that her former husband be invited to, say, the annual 4th of July family party? Or should self-respect mean that she doesn’t create a situation that is predictably abusive?”

Friends look at my photos and say, "You must have a great camera!" I bet no one ever tastes Bobby Flay's cooking and says, "You must have a great stove!" (sigh...) #redtailedhawk #inflight #nature #wildlifephotography #birds #BirdoftheDay #mustbethecamera #originalphoto #middleTN
