A Burger King Bullying PSA

One doesn’t associate Burger King with Public Service Announcements or positive social causes or things like that. But this is good stuff.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month.

The closing words of Russell's Autobiography.

I am finding them quietly inspiring.

"I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times. Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them. These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken."

-- Bertrand Russell

Here's hoping. #election2024

So rather than spending the day doomscrolling, I spent much of it posting (and reposting) quotations about #elections, #voting, and presidential #character at my #quotations website.

Lucky for you, I made a consolidated post at my highly neglected blog, so you can see them all in one place.

I can only assume that half the voting public, according to polls, actually *want* things to get "nasty" for a while. Probably because they assume it will be nasty for someone else, and they are okay with that.

We've been warned.

#Trump #nasty

I both loved and was deeply disturbed reading the George Stewart's " #EarthAbides " -- a thought-out and morose tale of the collapse of civilization after a 99.9% deadly plague sweeps the globe.

I won't be watching the MGM+ adaptation, though, both because that's a streaming service I don't have, and because either it will be faithful to the original (and deeply depressing), or not (and so depressing in its own way).

Meanwhile the #Trump campaign seems obsessed with getting me to donate to get one of Leon's "GOLD DARK MAGA HAT"s.

#RIP Greg Hildebrandt, who, with his brother Tim, definitively crafted what #Tolkien 's #MiddleEarth looked like prior to any hint of a Peter Jackson movie.

Thank you, sir.

So in his increasingly deranged rants on the campaign trail, Trump is now ...

1. Suggesting he'd be fine if the press at his rallies were shot.

2. Expressing pleasure that Mitch McConnell will be gone soon (nice payback for selling your soul, Mitch).

3. Clearly saying he should have refused to leave the White House in 2021, after losing the election.

That this race remains so tight is mindboggling to me. The cognitive dissonance in this country is astonishing.

So sorry to hear about the passing of #TeriGarr . While she had many nifty roles that many people enjoyed her in, my secret favorite is as the "she's not as ditzy as you think" secretary, Roberta Lincoln, in the "Assignment: Earth" episode of #StarTrekTOS

Thank you, ma'am, for many hours of entertainment. #RIP

My goal in life is simple: have a week where a headline doesn't show up starting with "Ken #Paxton sues..." (over something precious or good or just).

Awesome. #Trump 's cronies suggest he just give all his advisors #securityclearances by executive fiat, and bypass all that #DeepState Anti- #Russia Time-Consuming #FBI Background Checking that Might Dare Tell Him No.

I mean, why not? He doesn't care if his advisors are crooks, molesters, spies, or all three. As long as he gets his way, that's all that's important.

"Freedom Caucus leader endorses radical proposal for North Carolina to hand its electoral votes to Trump"

Hey, you know how to deal with voters in #NorthCarolina where #hurricane damage has impacted their ability to vote in November? You do whatever you can to get ballots to them or get them to the polls.

Or, you can just throw up your hands and say "Let's just give the state to Trump" by legislative fiat. Because FREEDOM!

"US elections live:Trump says he will fire Jack Smith within two seconds' if elected"

Of course #Trump will intervene in the #justice system out of personal animus if he wins. It's what autocrats do.

In fact, that's likely a significant reason he's running again in the first place.
