I heard there was once this carpenter who said we should love our neighbours, the stranger, and even our enemies. You know, I think maybe he was on to something.

This does not happen. This will never happen.
I will sell everything I own and give all the proceeds to anyone who can show me an instance of this ever happening.
It is startling how we have so casually abandoned reality.
Trump: "Think of it. Your beautiful son leaves the house. His name is Tim. 'Goodbye Tim, I'll see you later.' 'Thank you, mommy, thank you.' And you don't see Tim for four days. Four days later, Tim comes back as Sally. Okay? It's true. We have states that are allowed to do that. A place called Minnesota. I won it 3 times."

Let me make this abundantly clear: If you’re claiming Democrats are campaigning to “change the gender of three-year-olds,” name the candidate. Produce the quote. Show the actual policy.
There isn’t a single democratic candidate running for Office, who has ever said that they want to change the gender of three-year-olds.
In fact, there isn’t a single candidate who has come out in support of any sort of sex change surgery for any person under the age of 18.
This is all a problem that they made up in their heads because they know they can’t run on inflation, gas prices, or the economy

In fact, he acknowledged her with a nod and placing his right hand over his heart, a widely accepted correct way to greet anyone dressed in a way that signals maybe their practice is not to shake hands with the opposite sex.
As Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed took the stage in Dearborn today, he dapped up and shook the guys’ hands while just walking by the one woman on stage, who was wearing a hijab.
This clip shows who Abdul truly is.

Interesting how it's always "vote according to Biblical values!" until it comes to the verses about welcoming immigrants, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords or loving our neighbors.

One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Americans to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires, and empathy more than cruelty.

People will laugh at this lady, but the fact is, she doesn't know about Trump's self-enrichment, because the news and information sources she consumes haven't told her about it. Mis- and dis-information is at a crisis level in our country.
Trump supporter: “We love Trump! He loves our country. I know, he proves, he tells, he, he does without, he, he served our country without being paid”
Davram Stiefler: “He made about $2.4B in the second term. When you’re talking about a $400K salary, it’s like a grain of sand on a beach of money”
TS: “I don’t know about that”

I'm still pushing for a Nobel Prize for the Voyager team. Outlasted its mission by 45 years and counting. Incredible.

Could I stay longer?
One year. No internet. Unlimited books đź“š
A tiny whitewashed cottage with a pale blue door, a crooked chimney and a stone step to sit on with a cuppa.
No notifications, no scrolling, just a shelf of well thumbed paperbacks, a window seat and a year of rainy afternoons to get through.
Would you stay here?
Yes or No?

Samhain begins on the evening of the 31st October and goes through to November 1st. Today a small gathering on Glastonbury Tor honored our ancestors and welcomed the Winter. #Samhain
This is genuinely a conversation I have never heard before...

In this abbey in France, nuns have been restoring old books for over 70 years.
The Benedictine sisters of Maumont Abbey run a full workshop and their craft is bookbinding, gilding and restoration. Centuries-old books arrive damaged, torn and crumbling, and they restore them all by hand to last another hundred years.

No plans on Healthcare, affordability, job growth, wage growth, nada. Just boogeyman politics based on xenophobia and racism.

Proposed new rule:
You should be able to define the thing you are against.
I think that would be helpful.
Davram Stiefler: “What do you think about socialism?”
Trump supporter: “I think it’s something that is run a country like, like you go to Iran or somethin like that. That’s, that’s socialism, you know?”
DS: “Socialism is Iran? What is socialism, what does it mean?”
TS: “To me? To me I would think socialism is… like a dem- dema- what you call it? Uh… demo- dictator country, you know? Somewhere like that”
DS: “As an economic system, what is socialism?”
TS: “An econocic, an eco- econopic system is a place that offers opportunity and work”
DS: “But what is socialism?”
TS: “As it defines? I don’t really have a definition, definition of it, you know?”
