As a side note, this was the genius of Dolly's Imagination Library program. Parents had a reason to read books in simple vocabulary to a baby & up to 5 yrs old. If the parent's reading skills were under developed, babies don't judge. They love getting individual time and attention.

It's also really good for kids who don't read at grade level and are embarrassed to read out loud in class. This audience is never disappointed or judgemental.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

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.

Won't end when he dies. Repub party chose convicted felon for prez, & still aid & abet. Repubs in Congress aren't "scared victims", they're willing co-conspirators, intent on implementing Project 2025. These gullible morons aren't letting go of their shit because πŸ’©πŸŠ croaks.

I don't see a contradiction between my previous two comments. My first one is that 1/3 of people still supporting Trump is terrifying and my second one was that 77 million people voting for him was terrifying too. For the record, I would've left USA by now if I was unfortunate enough to live there.

A person? 77 million people voted for it. That’s a disaster if it happened in any country but in a country with more guns than brain cells, it’s terrifying.

Agree-ish. AND, it took a lot of crimes from the white house to get ppl to vote against Trump this time. So, they may vote Dem now, but the rapes and assaults, racism, misoginy and more didn't stop them voting Republican prior (or not voting at all), so they'll just go back when gas is cheaper imo.
