Have lived in many countries on a few continents. Now settled on a mountain so I can use a pointy stick to poke people down if they bother me. And now this is what I do, I read, I judge, I garden and I know (a few) things. Frog art by Matsumoto Hoji.

I agree with Ted Cruz that now isn’t the time to politicize any deaths.

I just wish Ted Cruz would agree with Ted Cruz the next time something happens in a blue state and he decides to be a partisan fuckwit.

Sweden place order for €500M worth of artillery ammunition. While it's good that it is finally happening, it's been eleven years since Russia attacked Ukraine. Things move very slowly.

As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN
inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members:
1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual.

The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned.

(in order words, no deals)

Reports indicate that several other red states are now considering opening camps similar to the one in Florida. Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina publicly requested a facility, tweeting, β€œDear DHS: We’ve got a swamp and a dream. Let’s talk. South Carolina’s gators are ready.”

Since you’re not sure I’m happy to clarify.

Super left dummies that shit talked Harris, the Folks that ran around saying β€œI held my nose and voted for her”, the folks that pushed non-committed, 3rd party voters, non-voters, and damn sure β€œfree Palestine” voters.

And you refusing to believe

This Gaza shit is sending me. Every time I see someone trying to explain their purity vote my blood boils.

Shut all the way the fuck up with that nonsense. You didn’t save a single soul if you did anything other than vote for Harris.

Y’all are out here trying to play in our faces. Hell nah!

I knew that’s exactly where you were going because I’ve met you a thousand times before.

Ain’t no way you held your tongue. No way.

Y’all were just as bad because your bs was voter suppression too. Own that shit and get mad at you and yours.

Y’all are exhausting AF.
