an assassination of Putin some day soon, but just think about what would happen if an assassination of Biden or Biden and Harris took place. Just how divided would the country be if Kamala Harris or Nancy Pelosi became President? It would be a big ugly mess! I think it would make the RWers more powerful and could possibly be the end of Ukrainian sovereignty.

Using the right word is important because words have meaning.

You don't know how to turn off or override your "assistant" and spell it yourself when it gets it wrong.

You don't know how to spell grammar, even.

You think building smart phones is mainly about repurposing some empty buildings. No wonder you think details like spelling don't matter.

But it wouldn't surprise me if the RW committed such an atrocity and then accused the.Democrats of a false flag operation to gain more power. It would be pandemonium, and no one would know who to trust.

I care.

I will die someday. I'm getting old.

But unlike that disgusting thread here the other day, on how they are not afraid of nuclear war, because they are going to die someday anyway, I care about humanity. I am not a sociopath.

I don't want my last thoughts to be that 95%, or more, of the human race is going out with me.

Call it 'On The Beach' syndrome.

I care.

Four years of that orange a$$hole. Two years of COVID. And now we are on the brink of WWIII. Or nuclear holocaust.

And tomorrow is my birthday. What's to celebrate?!?

that were planted last November in the garden of my new house. And a hard freeze is predicted this weekend. Crap. There go the flowers.

Nothing seems to go right.

I have been grateful for years that my woes have not been worse. Frozen flowers are nothing compared to 2 million refugees fleeing Ukraine. But, dammit, can't the world catch a break? Is it too much to ask for a few flowers not to have their bloom cut short?

Is it too much to ask whatever powers that be - God, Goddess, Yaweh, The Great Spirit, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, etc. - to just throw us a freakin' bone here? Just a little somehing to keep our spirits up!

Was for irreversible climate change vs a nuclear war.
However, a nuclear war could be the ultimate catalyst
