3. Some of the smartest, nicest, most interesting friends & acquaintances in the world, specifically including those belonging to my dreamwidth and Facebook reading lists and my electronic and postal mailing lists.
4. My body. It’s an evolved animal, the product of millions of years of fighting, breeding, and dying, with all the problems that would suggest, but as far as we know, the human body is the only vehicle mind has. (It's a ride.) I’m thankful for mine in particular because it’s a strong one. It has survived 80+ years of as little exercise and nutritional correctness as I could get away with giving it. It has survived much abuse of assorted substances (and the only one of those I wouldn’t do over again is tobacco) and now survives without them.
6. All other minds, past and present: those who created computers to expand my mind and a Net to join it to others, medicines that allow me to survive the previously fatal weaknesses of my body, and words and pictures that have enriched my thoughts, and all those I have forgotten or taken for granted.

There used to be a #5, expressing modified rapture for my country, but that was before it re-elected a senile fascist.

I think Biden should resign some time before January 20 so the rump gang will be distracted by trying to remove Kamala Harris from the historical record.

There is a woman on Facebook who claims to be President Kennedy’s illegitimate daughter and presents complex conspiracy theories stemming from that given. Perhaps the most plausible part of her account is that she would then share genes with RFK Jr.

Thanx to andrewducker

AI says bacon is kosher. At least it’s not as lethal as AI mushroom recommendations.

Blast from the Past: RFK Jr. is losing his essence because of fluoridated water.

Nick Fuentes, who is being doxed for saying, “Your body, my choice. Forever,” is on record [Wikipedia] as saying that since women like girly things such as kissing and snuggling, heterosexuality is essentially gay. Andrew Tate, whose heterosexual skills are apparently such that he believes female orgasm is a myth, is suggesting that one should deal with those nasty desires by having a trusted male friend relieve the tension. His version of “no homo” is that this must be done by hand or mouth only.

These are not my people.

I knew there are a lot of stupid mean people in this country, but I didn’t know they were a majority.

Hitler’s best general, Erwin Rommel, was in on the plot to kill him.
The Almighty Algorithm at Facebook considered this unprintable.*
If I were a Nazi dictator, I wouldn’t want the kind of generals Hitler had.
