Still masking, which we will do during our family Christmas as we do everywhere outside our home. Please, stay safe, mask up.

@grammargirl I think it's time to read Fahrenheit 451 again and ponder the truth that reading nurtures independent thinking, and the many reasons why independent thought fosters democracy, empathy, and civilization.

@nrmacdonald @MugsysRapSheet The Grammar Nazi struggle is hard for some of us. Sometimes I have to sit on my thumbs. 😆

@stux @nrmacdonald @MugsysRapSheet I thought you were a native English speaker from your posts, for what it's worth. Good job! I would hate to learn English as a second language. It's so full of inconsistencies.

@stux @Hipska Thank you! That was my thought, but I also wondered if you might be a transplanted Dane. 🤔 I think Americans are remiss in not mandating learning foreign languages in our education system, but these days, we seem to have ditched the idea of including education in our education system. 🙄

@stux Thank you. Support is much appreciated. I ponder more often lately that America's allies must be following the election year with deepening concern. No one thought, 50 years ago, that a surging subset of Americans would threaten global democracy, stability, freedom. But here we are.Democrats aren't perfect (who is?), but overall they do more good, more ethically, than the plutocratic, fascist-loving GOP. A Democratic electoral sweep is a win for global peace and democracy.

@futurebird Most of my working life, I struggled to make ends meet. Rich people, to me: afford to eat out at least once a week; routinely afford fresh whole foods and meat; can vacation at least once a year; buy new clothes each year, sometimes several times a year; have more than two or three pairs of shoes that they can replace before they're falling apart; don't rely on home baking, arts and crafts, for Christmas gifts; never have to choose between paying bills or medical need; more such.

@stux If his voters think he's going to make life affordable again, they've reached a level of dumb-cluckery that's going to open them up to a level of exploitation that will take our collective breath away, which is the likely end goal. Oligarchs are going to need drool cups and super-soaker bibs,they're salivating so much in anticipation of the fleecing to come.Time to stock up on durable pantry goods, buy any electronics or home appliances, or tend similar needs before prices soar higher.

@stux I can't stop thinking of how this money could instead uplift many millions of people if it were invested, intelligently and strategically, into housing and healthcare. 🥺

@stux Thanks, and no worries, you have LOTS of company among LOTS of Americans. Musk is applying the same engineering 'genius' to our nation that leads to the "rapid unscheduled disassembly" of his stupid rockets. We are terrified, but heartened by the resistance at home and abroad. I hope resistance will turn the tide, but the entrenched lunacy supporting that malignant narcissist with dementia--and probably syphilis--is appalling. Status: It IS our circus, but who let those damn monkeys in?!
