I’ve so few friends. The remaining visited the grave of one of our friends who died ten years ago last week overseas. That guy was a superhero. And his death gutted so many. You can waste your life or you can do as much good as you can for as long as you can. That’s the choice
But--God's word (per Jesus, via Mark) is "Love the Lord your god... & love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d ago"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage, of a constant belief that life is a zero-sum game. But nothing flourishes in that world." — @snipy.bsky.social
Nevadans are ready to elect leaders who fight for the people. Winning this election will take each and every one of us, so make your plan to vote on or before Tuesday, November 3.
Called another number and managed to get a person. Said the tech was in Tyrone (30 minutes away) on another job and would be here after. I canceled. If anyone in the State College area needs electrical, HVAC, or plumbing, avoid Triangle Heating and Cooling. They wasted by entire fucking day

How I imagine the situation inside Team Vivek recently (if there’s at least one sane person there anyway)
"At least if you were following the Grateful Dead or Phish in their respective heydays, you knew the set list would change from night to night. Trump, on the other hand, is more like a second-rate tribute band, playing the same songs over and over." Oof.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.New in PN: The end of the Trump rally "Even for the diehards, his rallies have become a slog as a sleepy president rambles pointlessly from one subject to another, like a musical act whose hit-making days are decades in the past playing the old songs with little of the verve that made them popular"
Hush! I must hear! It’s an election year, I am a voter, and I need to know the president’s answers to the most pressing questions facing America today: How upholstered are the chairs in the Rose Garden?
Why Is Everyone Avoiding the Biggest Issue Facing Voters?
Please, I beg you, Mr. President, do not stop talking about the golf course.

Trump’s efforts to tear down the East Potomac Golf Course in open defiance of a court order is about much, much more than golf. Another must-read from @lizdye.bsky.social for @atrupar.com.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk."So who gives a shit about a golf course? Trump does — enough to lie to a federal judge about it, then call her insane when she noticed. The rest of us should care at least that much." — @lizdye.bsky.social

It really needs to be emphasized that the woman Vivek is featuring in these videos fled with an accused & indicted child rapist and successfully helped him avoid trial for 20+ years.
shauna@goldengateblond.bsky.social · last wk.even by normal oppo standards this story is bonkers — basically vivek and co (and acton’s shitty mother) are accusing acton of fabricating horrific stories of child sexual abuse that are clearly documented in court records
JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.
Trump just claimed the United States had done “a lot” for Ukraine, but that Ukraine has done “nothing” for the United States. This is unjust in the highest degree. And not just untrue in the normal sense — it is a big lie, designed to bring about horror and chaos. snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-big...

My wife repeatedly put her ass on the line, travelling to Ukraine since the invasion to provide humanitarian assistance. When she first went in Spring 2022, she brought more than $50k in medical supplies, thanks to donations from social media. Trump’s turn on Ukraine is shameful.
