“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
- Pres. George W. Bush

Kind of sad that this excellent season 3 of "Shrinking" has ended. Masterful writing, directing, and acting all around. Glad that another season has been greenlighted.

BUSH: Maybe don’t play golf while Americans are dying in a war.

TRUMP: 7th service member dead, tee time confirmed.

‼️ George W Bush got one thing right: war and golf don’t mix.

It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.

While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.

Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.

I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.

“I didn’t vote for THIS,” say the manosphere podcasters who simply had no way of knowing that Trump would lie about being a populist to get into office and then govern like a autocratic lunatic once in power, other than the fact that he did it for 4 entire years before that.

Quotes:
Morning #BlueSky

"One of the primary symptoms of psychopathy is the inability to love. What we see is a lack of relationship—a lack of Eros."

"Sensitive psychopaths are narcissistic and egoistic and while they are easily insulted they never notice when they have insulted others." ~ Adolf Guggenbühl-Craig

Some rhythms don’t knock.
They just rock up — like a yard filling up before you even realize the music started.

You can almost see it: warm air, neighbors leaning over balconies, somebody clapping the beat from across the way.

Meme - Trauma is valid even if: There are others who have it "worse" - It occurred a long time ago - You feel "just fine" now - It "could have been avoided" - Only you know about it - Someone says "it isn't a big deal"

Quotes: Morning #BlueSky

“Every unresolved #trauma or other unresolved psychic issue is passed on from one generation to the next, until the chain is broken~H M Kolb

“Optimism doesn’t come natural to trauma survivors because our brains are still scanning the environment for threats and danger“~Dr N LePera

True independent thinkers don't change their clocks just because everyone else does. I will do my own research and determine what time it is
