    March 6, 2025 - By ginny

    I’ve recently enjoyed watching Hair Buddha’s #HairFail reaction videos on Facebook and YouTube.  My hair is virgin but fading somewhat now. Have never wanted to dye it. ”Hairdresser reacts to a Donald Trump haircut” Link: Hair Buddha: Hair Fails

    Mary Trump: The Depravity Is the Point

    March 3, 2025 - By ginny

    We all need to stand the fuck up for Ukraine, for our allies, for democracy, and for the American way. ”So everybody, take President Zelensky’s appearance today as an example, and take it as permission. Stand the fuck up.”   Link: The Depravity Is the Point

    January 23, 2025 - By ginny

    Can I re-learn how to crochet and make this absolute unit from 2020? The last time I crocheted something, it was 1972. ”Let’s knock out 2020 with THE BEST CROCHET PROJECT OF THE YEAR!!! It’s 100% Soft’s Dumpster Fire!!! Truck asked if I wanted to translate his iconic and super popular Dumpster Fire…”   Link: Dumpster Fire Crochet Pattern w/ 100% Soft

    Back to the future: how Mastodon is restoring the lost art of online conversation | John Naughton | The Guardian

    January 21, 2023 - By ginny

    The Guardian takes notice of Mastodon. The new social network with its interconnected ‘fediverse’ is a welcome alternative to blustering rival Twitter and Elon Musk — Read on www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/21/back-to-the-future-how-mastodon-is-restoring-the-lost-art-of-online-conversation

    Where Gratitude Gets You | #HiddenBrain #Podcast

    December 25, 2022 - By ginny

    Many of us struggle with self-control.  And we assume willpower is the key to achieving our goals. But there’s a simple and often overlooked mental habit — Read on hiddenbrain.org/podcast/where-gratitude-gets-you/ I am totally a grasshopper. But a good thing to practice in the coming year is gratitude, rather than trying to guilt myself into a goal. Posting to my #Wordpress blog this via the #Tooot #sharesheet in #iOS as a “publish immediately” post. The “draft” option in the #iPhone app didn’t trigger the #Mastodon plugin. It works from the desktop version but there’s a little checkbox that should always be…

    Elon Musk Will Step Down As Twitter CEO (and burn it down by proxy)

    December 20, 2022 - By ginny

    My guess is he’ll pick someone guaranteed to offend everyone and to totally ruin the company.

    Choosing Between Lifeboats: Why Not Both?

    December 17, 2022 - By ginny

    Both of them have their strengths and weaknesses as social media platforms - and both thus far are clear of trollish minions. Twitter, though, soon will be flooded with enthusiastic wannabe shitlords acting like huge flocks of soiled budgies flying out of people’s lavatories, infringing on people’s personal freedoms.

    Today’s Announcement of a New Twitter Policy May Be Even More Terrifying Than This Week’s Mass Suspension of Journalists Was—Yes, Really / Post.

    December 17, 2022 - By ginny

    On Twitter, a new algorithm will allow far-right trolls to band together en masse—something they have already been shown to have done repeatedly and systematically over the last 24 months—to make the tweets of Twitter Blue–verified left-leaning accounts disappear from public visibility permanently simply by muting or blocking them. — Read on post.news/article/2J3AloOm0Fho4H1A0YFAy9nU3fS

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”

  • Living On Blue Island In Lake Illinois

    A local bike riding friend remarked today that he feels like he’s living on a blue island. I made sure he sees this.

     

    ”JB Pritzker trolled the president on Friday by claiming he planned to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay.”
