  • While what’s happening in Gaza is horrific, it’s sadly far down on the list of grievances against the so called “far left” in the US. It was just one that came immediately to mind. They’ve also had no problem with “Citizens United” which allowed unlimited money in politics, they’ve continued to support the police state in the US, a lack of any meaningful movement on healthcare.

    Joe Manchin is no longer a Senator but he used to be considered a “centrist”. He was a fucking coal barron who used his influence to get his daughter a made up MBA, she in turn was CEO of Mylan when they jacked up prices on the life saving Eli-pen.




  • You’re not paranoid, it’s a propaganda tactic. DEI, just like CRT, has become a dog whistle for the party loyalists. Then the fringes of the party use that language to label anything they don’t like, it’s doesn’t matter if it’s true or something that has been established for decades. (People my parents age used to be proud to say they got the polio vaccine when they were kids, some of those same people are anti-vax now)

    Once a thing has been labeled as DEI, then the major news starts to report on it, “some people say thing X is DEI”. Then if something fails, it’s all DEI’s fault for and becomes another example for the party loyalists.

    That behavior also forces people who might not care one way or another into a camp. Ghostbusters 2016 comes to mind there. I enjoyed the work of all of those women on SNL and in other movies. I had no interest in the movie because I just don’t care for remakes of classic movies in the first place but I feel there are always exceptions. My girlfriend wanted to go so we went. It was an average/good movie that got some belly laughs out of me and I enjoyed it overall but that’s where my opinion ended. If I said I enjoyed it with no context, I would be dealing with a bunch of snarky comments and I can either stay silent (passive allowance of their behavior) or I have to defend myself to them. Now I’m wasting my time defending and average/good movie that I don’t really even care about in the end.


  • I understand the sentiment and yes, just like everything else, capitalism has turned death into a money making racket at the expense of the average person.

    I live near a cemetery currently and was raised near a different one, they make great neighbors. Quiet and the one near me now is also a wildlife refuge so I can’t call that wasted space. Yes, it’s privately owned but it’s open to the public. Also, I work in historic preservation and love working in and exploring cemeteries.

    In the end, I just love the blend of history, architecture, and nature in one place.


  • This document seems to establish a Rebekah Lodge in “Indian Territory”.

    To explain further: Oklahoma used to be referred to as Indian Territory before the US decided to once again break their treaties with the native people. Rebekah Lodges are the women’s side of the Oddfellows. The Oddfellows are a fraternal order similar to the Free Masons or the Woodsmen of the World. Many fraternal orders have women’s auxiliaries, the Masons have the Order of the Eastern Star.

    I’m not qualified to tell if it’s real or not but it certainly looks like it from the pics.















  • According to a new press release issued by Patrick, “retailers exploited the [state’s] agriculture law to sell life-threatening, unregulated forms of THC to the public and made them easily accessible.”

    Damn how strong is the weed in Texas if it’s life threatening? To add to that, if they’re worried about life threatening substances they better get to work banning alcohol too.

    P.S. Nothing says FreedomTM like a ban.
