5.14-15 Weekend Open Threads

The Progressive Wing Posted on May 14, 2022 by orlbucfanMay 14, 2022

Whoa, what happened? We kept the Nest closed yesterday. I bet itโ€™s cos it was Friday, the 13th. ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘บI had my share of bad luck. Iโ€™m visiting and helping a dear friend this weekend; and natch, forgot to stash my toiletriesโ€™ bag in my trip satchel. Oh well, I think itโ€™s more just simple aging, and having too much on my mind right now. Anywho, the Nest is Open for action. You all stay well! โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š

I read yesterday that PayPal has reinstated “Consortium News.” It sounded like a reliable report. I don’t do PP, but other Nesters use it. I do my donating the “old fashion” way: snail mail and paper checks. ๐Ÿ™‚ We’re in the 90s down here, and breaking temp. records. Surprised? Anywho, everyone enjoy your Cinco de Mayo weekend. The Nest is Open. ๐Ÿ™‚

What exactly was the point of Nancy Pelosi/Pelousy visiting the mess that is the Russian-Ukrainian conflict? Let the War Department $$yahoos$$ go over there. They and their Neoliberal/RWing hacks are why our dollars are spent on war garbage which is grossly overpriced, and a lot is poorly produced. Sounds very similar to our Deathcare System. Have at it, yโ€™all. The Nest is Open.๐Ÿ˜Šโ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

4.18-19 “Bloody” Open Threads

The Progressive Wing Posted on April 18, 2022 by orlbucfanApril 18, 2022

Hey, wasn’t this past weekend Easter Weekend? A symbol of peace, rebirth, and spring? One sure wouldn’t know it in this country. Let’s see, in the last week or so, we’ve had the shootouts in the NYC Subway, the So. Carolina Mall, and in Pittsburgh. There were fatalities in that last one, correct? I know the stork dropped me in the wrong country, on the wrong planet! ๐Ÿ™ At least, our peaceful Nest is quiet, and now Open for action. Stay well and sane, everyone! ๐Ÿ™‚

This is HORRENDOUS: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/04/13/nyregion/brooklyn-subway-shooting. This country has got to do something about the easy access to weapons. The culture of violence has to be reined in! Hey fellow Nesters, please post thoughts, links, and good news (if you can find a few nuggets). Our Nest is Open. Peace and Love!! ๐Ÿ™‚

Hey y’all! Whew, the Russkie-Ukrainian fight is becoming more and more interesting. Latest reports have Germany going to gas rationing and possibly nationalizing (yeah, you read that correctly) the two Russian-German companies who handle the fuel and LNG that flows better the two countries. Being a world history nut, I have always respected the Germans. They are an efficient, inventive nation and people. They’ve made cosmic mistakes, Hitler and the Nazis for example. But which nation hasn’t? On a melancholy note, my heart goes out to the soldiers, both Russian and Ukrainian, who have died or are sick and dying from radiation poisoning. They were exposed at Chernobyl. Just another example of the absolute stupidity of warmongers!

Our Nest is Open and ready for action. Y’all take good care and stay well. ๐Ÿ™‚
