The sponsor of the bill to strip women of their rights and freedoms over their own body said it quite plainly: The [Anti-Woman] bill’s sponsor, Republican state Senator Todd Lakey, said during one debate that the health of the mother “weighs less, yes, than the life of the child”, referring to the foetus.” -BBC Todd… Continue reading Todd Lakey: The Only Good Pregnant Woman Is A Dead One

Woke
Woke is an interesting term. Prior to the modern conservative obsession with it, the word had a definition that made sense. Woke was a slang term for people that understood the systematic historical oppression of racial inequality. They woke up and saw the racial injustice. That was all it was. I don’t love the term,… Continue reading Woke
The Way We Were
Progressives are nearly always right. Conservatives are nearly always wrong. It’s built into the language of politics. Progressives want progress. Progress heavily implies improvement. In political terms that improvement is across a large swath of the population. They do not currently ‘have’. Conservatives don’t want progress. They want to conserve what they have because it’s… Continue reading The Way We Were
OPSEC
If you google OPSEC you will find: Operational security (OPSEC) is a security and risk management process that prevents sensitive information from getting into the wrong hands. What this means to most people is, “don’t fuck around with classified information, or else.” For many of us the “or else” can mean anything from losing your job… Continue reading OPSEC
ACAB
I’ve been saying for a while that All Cops Are Bastards. This isn’t something I came to quickly. As a teen, I believed most were good, but there were bad apples. The last decade has brought me around on that to the position that there aren’t one or two bad apples, but rather one or… Continue reading ACAB
thoughts on War
Not surprisingly the stupidest chunk of our country is pro Russia. Thier own words suggest it’s because they have more in common with and respect for putin than biden. In my estimation it’s because they will side with anything to see biden and the democrats lose. How American. For evidence see thier continued suppirt for… Continue reading thoughts on War
GOP: The Party Of Death Over Reason
Masking helps prevent getting sick. Most people don’t want to get sick. But for some asinine reason the GOP has gotten the “stupid” virus from their former leader and become as stupid as possible. Masking can save lives, save suffering, save money but the GOP instead prefers to weaponize the act as a way to… Continue reading GOP: The Party Of Death Over Reason
The Delight Of Nothing Extraordinary
No one will deny that, for the past half decade, the news has been toxic. Literally toxic. Like eating moldy food toxic. Like huffing bleach toxic (former presidential opinions non-withstanding). Toxic. I might even say virulent, but that’s too soon. Yes the world is not in good shape: wars, floods, famine, terror, brutality, sickness, and… Continue reading The Delight Of Nothing Extraordinary
Time Served
Normally, when I write, I lay ground work and construct a backstory to bring everyone into the same reference. Not going to do that here. I don’t think I need to. Racist (ex-)cop, and convicted murderer Derek Chauvin is up for sentencing. The State is asking for 30 years. Sentencing guidelines give a max of… Continue reading Time Served
King For A Day
Growing up, I remember my mother warning me that things are more complicated than they seem. Just because I think I know the best thing to do doesn’t mean it would actually work in practice. it was an interesting thing for a teenager who thought he knew everything. I have found myself thinking back to… Continue reading King For A Day
