I love how some members of this community rail against tyranny and censorship and injustices, but then deploy the same kind of weaponry, the same tactics, the same censorship against anyone with a differing opinion. Someone like @bornofcollision and @dostoyevsky-official , who blot out polite debate like the usual 'liberals' do these days. I don't care how much people like these individuals lie to themselves and others, fascism is fascism, and cancel culture is one of the main underpinnings of fascist movements. So, to these persons, congratulations, you are excellent fascists! Well done! I'd offer you a trophy, but I think you have plenty from your accomplishments in just showing up and weakly participating.
And I know that liberals hate being labeled themselves as anything but courageous champions of "The People," but that lie ran out of gas a long time ago, well before the Nazis (originally a movement based around the working class and the preservation of Germany) took power in the 1930s. The truth is liberals want control over everything, especially the conversation, because God forbid that a dissenting voice should be heard. So yeah, the fascist label squarrly belongs to Liberals and Leftists everywhere. Support that and them and you're part of the problem.
*For the record, I am an independent, most closely aligned with Libretarians and Constitutionalists. I do not think the 2 party system has ever worked in this country, and would love to see both the Democrat and Republican parties dismantled and outlawed, with governance directed by THE PEOPLE, as directed by the US Constitution. And yes, it can be done...
Just sayin'...

DOGE should look into this.

Pals! I have updated my store and now offer large prints!
I would like to own a copy of this book, but my phobia is things that pop up at you. Damn that Jack-in-the-box...
As a culinarian, with over 20 years of experience and training, in a vast array of epicurean options, I have to say that one of my favorite descriptive terms these days is: slurpable.
Long live ramen!
(Or most any other noodle... except udon... fucking udon... big ass, sweaty-tasting, soppy-wet, edible shoelaces...)
Yeah, fuck udon... Hail ramen majesty!
I had this book once, and it was one of my treasures as a kid. Sadly, it and all of the trappings of my childhood were lost in a house fire, thanks to the landlord, one Hiram Chait, torching the place for insurance money. And it was an arson that nearly killed me as a result of my witnessing him and his friend set the blaze. I ran from them and hid in an outbuilding that was some kind of barn-garage thing, and they set that on fire, too. An old axe 🪓 saved my life, but the handle broke in the process. Too bad, because I sure would have liked to have taken a few dozen swings at the landlord and his accomplice. Especially since the son of a bitch was never prosecuted...
But yeah, very cool book for a Trekkie geek...

This was awesome. I think I still have mine, along with the Enterprise blueprints published not long before.
Snicker...
This is what a lot of us forgot while we were being frightened and isolated last year, with the deluge of propaganda from all sides and the usurping of liberties and livelihoods assaulting us hourly. We forgot grace and mercy. That led to 'Karens', and that led to animosity and being offended and the word 'racist' dividing us further. And for what? To set us back a half a century, to a time of violence and blindness? No, we need to come together like the girls in this group project video, and make a difference in another living thing's life. We'd want the same consideration from other superior life, if we ever woke up to find that we were no longer apex...
Do some good. Do it a month from now, 2 weeks from now, 10 days from now, HELL! Do it tomorrow... it doesn't matter, as long as you do something good and in tune with your Higher Power, be it God and Jesus Christ, or The Universe, or Ganesha, or any pantheon of any creed...
I try to do some good every day. It's its own reward...
Love these kids and their selflessness. I bow to thee, ladies...

It's exhausting being a member of productive Trash Panda society. Pour him a drink, maybe offer a snack. Besides being hospitable, it's also a good way to turn your front porch into a Raccoon Club. Feed him and THEY will come...

So this shite happened...
Doris is a fucking peach.
And whatever happened to 'agree to disagree' and intelligent conversation? If we differ, let's talk about it. Don't take a passive aggressive ditch route to snipe at me like some pesky ankle-nipper. This is weak shite.
But let me know in the comments your take and opinion. I'll consider every perspective and angle. Because, after all, I'm open to everything and opposed to nothing. Nothing except, that is, chicken-shit trolls, Internet shit-and-runs, fux who shite-post and then tuck tail and delete the account or block me from any kind of rebuttal, and time-wasters
