Within the world of misfits, it’s often taken as an act of faith that eventually, you will find a tribe of like-minded people — your tribe — and finally, the world will feel normal and whole. It’s more or less the plot of every coming-of-age story ever told, the story of every nerd or weirdo that ever found a home — the notion that many of us feel like aliens, born into the wrong place or time, far from anything that feels familiar.

I’m really sick of so-called progressives who pretend to be above the fray of US politics and insist that both sides are at fault and equally responsible. Especially the ones who don’t even live in this country anymore.
I’m not being one-sided simply because I’m a Democrat. Look at what the Right is trying to do. Daily.
If voters keep supporting them, I’ll keep lumping them together.
This wasn’t a youthful prank, or any sort of righteous protest. It’s the work of a spoiled rich kid who needs to be taken down several pegs. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/10/nyregion/mark-hotel-lawsuit-teenager.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

I think the Phillies are going to be a nightmare for anyone in the playoffs. #mlb #phillies
I’ve never claimed that humility was my strong suit. I try to maintain some semblance of grounded modesty, if for no other reason than to avoid attracting any unwanted attention to my many faults.
But I have to say, this was a well-written piece. I sort of wonder who wrote it. It sounds vaguely familiar but not entirely so.

There is a common misunderstanding that America’s political parties are more or less the same even though they exist at opposite ends of the political spectrum. The inference being that if the shoe were on the other foot, the other party would act similarly. This is a profound misunderstanding of politics in America, especially of the left, but unfortunately, it’s also all too common. https://medium.com/rome-magazine/we-are-not-the-same-you-and-i-3eeef6e03725

Who makes up all these National Bullshit Days? I heard it was Meta that started it.
nostr:npub1chzam2ar8059z2zdqjh8qzvzdtr0q46fs4jwr7uzxw3vv254krrqrskaqs It is with many things. It’s complicated. You’d have to be more specific. In some cases, a higher threshold was deemed warranted, such as altering the Constitution.

Marxism, Socialism, and Communism:
“Marxism is a way to view the world, a system of analysis. A form of Government, condition of a society, a political movement can be considered as Communism. The transformation of society into Socialism, and ultimately to Communism is the philosophy of Marxism.”
It’s no wonder the morons are confused.
If taxing rich people is Marxist, then so be it. People and their “scary” words crack me up. They’re like children talking about the boogeyman.
Don’t know why I bother with LinkedIn. I’m not on it. I don’t care. But they keep sending me alerts.
I really, really dislike the new trend for sportscasters to wear dress slacks, long sleeve shirt, tie, and sneakers.
What are you, in the eighth grade?
Most people I know, usually intellectual types on the left, disregard religion as a fool’s errand, a cultural crutch for the uneducated, or simply a patriarchal system designed to manipulate the masses into submission. On most days, I probably agree with them. But there are other days when I feel that prayer might actually be a viable solution, regardless of whether I believe there is a wizard in the clouds ready to grant my every wish. https://medium.com/ellemeno/my-agnostic-prayer-for-peace-of-mind-2f90c2375413
