Me, to Marianne 🤬 Williamson. She makes me grind my 🤬 teeth. NO. ANTI-SCIENCE. CHARLATANS. Let’s all say it again!

All of our British, Welsh and Irish friends seem resigned to Scotland leaving the UK over England’s nincompoopery with Brexit. Everytime you think, ā€œWell, at least that is the worst approach,ā€ the Conservatives manageĀ to find a new low.

No worries - I was made aware of the fact by a friend and I am all about passing on the knowledge!

The LA Times is traditionally a very conservative paper. They have softened a bit since one of the oldsters from the founding family left, but they were known as a right wing paper in the 80's/90's before right wing devolved into more socially-acceptable versions of Stormfront.

It's the LA Times, so assume all citations are from the GOP Players Handbookā„¢.

Oh no! She and her husband had a wonderful show at the DIA, where they paired theirĀ work with famous pieces from the (enormous) collection of the museum. I didn’t even realize that she was ill. A very sad day.

The border that most of these racist old nastygrams are worried about is 8 Mile Road, aka the border between the northern suburbs and the proper city of Detroit. On the upside, it means they rarely if ever come stink up the city with their putrid views. On the other side, their ignorance and hatred is breathtaking,…

This also was a huge ray of sunshine on my day! I wonder if other groups have similar rights that they could assert, following this example? It would be so cool if suddenly 10 new native Congresspeople showed up to represent their nations! Native/First Nations people are the OG environmentalists, so it would be great…

For sure, do it when your contract is up! I know tons of people on AT&T with shattered iPhone screens, paying nearly twice what I do for their service and their phone. Meanwhile my Moto X4 keeps on ticking and my plan seamlessly rolls over whenever I cross international borders.Ā  It really is the best service, even if…

Best advice given to me, that I have now passed on many times: Anticipate that something will go wrong, promise to laugh about it when it does, and definitely don’t let it take up more than a moment ofĀ the fanciest party you are likely to ever throw.

I also highly recommend Google Fi cell plans, if you can swing it. We have used ours in Europe and Canada, and we were able to navigate, call, basically do everything we were able to do in the US, at a reasonable cost.Ā It is also a solid service in the US.

I recently read an article on how to travel successfully with others before traveling with my brother, husband and mother.Ā  I think that it was pretty helpful, and it basically boiled down to the same things many others are saying: be clear about expectations, build in plenty of on-your-own time, be clear about…

My usual response, "No!" followed by sticking out my tongue.

My thoughts as well.Ā  I had an opportunity to see an early screening, and I just couldn't commit to the time.Ā Ā 

He’s like a four year old child who has just learned about superlatives and comparitives.

And Iowans cracked and packed into the district spend hours screaming in frustration.  Ask me how I know.  😠😤🤬

I actually don’t dislike him or his music. And the mashup is such an earworm. I’m slightly embarrassed when I think of my stupid teenaged self, who used to listen to his music in pretty heavy rotation...😳

The statistics suggest otherwise - mainly that hundreds of thousands of younger voters and voters of color in Michigan (specifically in hard left urban districts) whoĀ did vote for Obama, did not cast a ballot in the Clinton vs. Trump race. There is fairly serious voter suppression in Michigan, so it is possible that…

Mmmmmmhmmmmm. It might partially be money, partially policy, partially special opportunities, partially some things I can’t name at this moment, but.....perhaps a *commission of well-qualified scholars and policy wonks* could!
