Naturally, this fills me with rage and fury, and I think, oh, I'll go look at the news, surely there's something to catch up with.Yes, U.S. police shot an 11-y.o. BOY who was trying to protect his mother from an incident of possible abuse. Yes, he's Black. The story that began in Portugal in the 1400s is still poisoning the WORLD in the 2020s. Why did he shoot a child? Same reason the Portuguese BOUGHT and SOLD people, I guess.

It's making me so angry and wrought reading this, but I must go on. I don't know how Black folks haven't killed all the rest of us already - although my people had a much smaller role in mistreating or exploiting Black people, they are not completely innocent - how do you read about these things without going mad? At any rate, please read "Born in Blackness." And then, please read "Before the Mayflower: A History of Black America." It arrived yesterday.

@lauren Even this feline thinks that's hinky. And felines defined hinky.

@seldo The guy who bought a company that made the first EVs and ran it into the ground so bad, it'll probably never sell another one wants to put stuff in people's brains? Wow, great idea!

@lauren Isn't this the miserable mitch who named her two kids "Aryan" and "Nation?"

@lauren I guess they figured that out, and wanted to let you know how they felt about you.

@lauren Ah! That makes sense, of course. Being an ailurophile, I assumed you were doing it to lure us into reading your posts, because she is a beauty. Thank you.

@KarenStrickholm Great. Now Elon will have 40 kids with himself, and their claims on his estate will preclude the claims of his previous kids, who only get HALF their genes from him, and we'll all get to sit back and watch his kids battle over the estate.

@lauren Hahaha, they're talky beasts! That's the only reason I don't have one. Sometimes I'm violently allergic to noise.

@lauren Lucky you! Izzy comes when he feels like it, and Juju always stares at me as I've gone insane when I call him. Like, "Why would you expect me to reply to that? WHY?"

@goodthinking @morganalafee @doctorjaymarie Please don't forget Jackson, MO, which has had funds earmarked for fixing its water systems at least once - funds that have subsequently been stolen and diverted for other uses by the (white) Governors of the state.

@goodthinking @morganalafee @doctorjaymarie Fortunately, the Guardian is carrying the story, so at least those who count to ten on their toes might miss it but the rest of us should have no problem.

@KimPerales We don't need another deadbeat Dad in the Senate, we already have Bernie Sanders. And hell, Bernie didn't even bother paying child support. Barbara Lee and Adam Schiff are running for that seat. Nobody's ever heard of Steve Harvey in these parts except for old men who watch sportsball. He's not gonna win.

@maxkennerly Not to be rude, or anything, Max, but haven't they proved over and over that they are stupid people who lucked out "that one time," and won whatever they won because people are only too willing to swallow the Great Man Theory of Evolution? Journalists oohing and aahing oer Musk's wealth never bother to count up the enormous bills he's running up, in legal fees, costs, rent, etc. They're too awed by the Great Man.

Just listened to Jack Smith, Special Counsel, at his press conference today. He said not one word more than necessary. The indictment is well worth reading. Mister Smith does not fuck around. Hopefully, the Lump is about to find out.
