Contact your representatives, assure this bill goes no where.

So the grants must be reinstated.

Dood! This IS the other option. LOL

Someone please think of those poor boneless chickens!

I don’t think he hit his head, but there was def. trauma. He’ll be pretty sore the next day. What was he even doing? When we were kids we’d run and ‘skid’ across the ice, with one foot forward and one back. This guy hit the ice at speed, pulled his stablizing rear foot to his front, an bam right on his back. Basic physics.

It’s possible Idi Amin was less deranged, but otherwise it carries just as much weight. “Sure donnie, let’s get you to bed now.”

The cost of DOGE, and the rest of this administration to the US and indeed world economy is astronomical.

What are those ‘leg extension’ things called? I could find all sorts of uses for them. Krampus? Faun?

This brings to mind a song, No Images by Nina Simone, which came from a poem by William Warin Cuney.

[Verse 1] She does not know her beauty She thinks her brown glory She thinks her brown body has no glory If she could dance naked under palm trees And see her image in the river, she would know Yes, she would know But there are no palm trees in the street No palm trees in the street And dishwater gives back no images

[Verse 2] She does not know her beauty She thinks her brown body has no glory If she could dance naked under palm trees And see her image in the river, she would know Yes, she would know, yes, she would know But there are no palm trees in the street No palm trees in the street And dishwater gives back no image

On the album Let It All Out, Nina Simone sang William Waring Cuney’s poem “No Images” in a capella. The poem won Cuney his first prize in the 1926 Opportunity Literary Contest.

As part of the Harlem Renaissance, “No Images” was a poem hailed as a lodestar for the New Nego Movement of the 1920s that pushed for “a renewed sense of racial pride, cultural self-expression, economic independence, and progressive politics.” The poem speaks to the psychological angst of African American women who perceive themselves as ugly due to their skin color as a result of the discriminatory, anti-black world they now inhabit. Waring Cuney juxtaposes her urban life with that of her ancestors, and if she had the chance to return to these surroundings she would realize her true beauty.

Writing in the Dictionary of Literary Biography: Afro-American Writers from the Harlem Renaissance to 1940, Lucy Kelly Hayden writes about “No Images,” stating:

The poet knows that the brown girl has beauty and glory, but acculturation into a white society and economic poverty have caused her not only to lose awareness of her merit but to denigrate herself. If she were in Africa or the Caribbean, where women like her set the standards for beauty, she would have a different clearer “image” of herself reflected back by society.

Any thing to keep our collective spirits up in these troubling times.

Bunch of fascist losers. smh.

Because the aren’t really ice, the solid form of water. And water in whatever form doesn’t give a shit about your credentials, nor your ignorance of basic physics.

I just love this:

"So, if you find you get stuck in 3-inch-deep snow… for starters, don’t do that. That’s not much snow. It’s embarrassing to get stuck in so little.

A few extremely basic notes:

Don’t kick the gas pedal like these ICE agents are doing. Slow and steady.
Turn on 4WD. Obviously.
If you don’t have 4WD, whatever, you should be fine. It’s really not that much snow.

If you’re stuck and can’t dig yourself out with the shovel you carry for this exact purpose, flag down a friendly Midwesterner to pull you out. Some flannel-clad hoonigan like me will happily pull you out with a rescue strap.

This works way better if you don’t have a reputation for killing unarmed women in the city you’re in, so ICE might be SOL"

trump could probably convince some Olympic athlete to give their Olympic Gold Medal in Gymnastics, but it would be of no more significance than if trump were given a Nobel Peace Prize. In both cases, trump would demonstrate his petty, pathetic nature, that is all.

SYAC: Reps. Mike Flood (R-Nebraska) and Eric Swalwell (D-California) react to video of Renee Good’s death. From this you can determine readily which one was certain of what he saw, by simply looking at R vs. D.

She could physically give him “the prize”, and even the money that went along with it. But that would be Machado giving Trumpy a prize, not the Nobel Foundation. Are you being a pedant because it amuses you, or for some other reason?

Epstein Island

Epstein Island

So Acrobatic ICE Guy did neither of those two important steps. 1. gun loaded, 2. safety off. smh.
