The battle cry of the politically homeless
Almost 70 percent of Americans, labeled ‘the exhausted majority’, are harboring intense feelings of ideological isolation. They’re politically homeless
MarleneJ
"Both parties demand totalitarian-like devotion to their ideology and if you’re indifferent, apathetic or nuanced... you’ll end up in the wasteland of the center — tribeless, unprotected and increasingly insulated."
Well said, @BridgetPhetasy, 👏.

To every billionaire or celebrity who spends $10 million on the Bugatti Centodieci:
Not another word from any of you about poverty, politics, climate change, or the evils of capitalism.

At Atlanta's first food forest, you can forage for mushrooms and pick medicinal herbs
The Urban Food Forest at Browns Mill is a place where volunteers tend crops of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and herbs, much of which is available to the public for free.
MarleneJ
As an urban gardener, I’m excited to see a city park being put to good use by offering fresh produce, but I want to caution against using medicinal herbs. Please consult a healthcare professional before treating yourself/others.

Dayton shooter's family publishes obituary calling murderer 'kind' — Daily Mail
The family of Dayton shooter Connor Betts remembered the gunman as a 'funny, articulate and intelligent man' in an obituary published on the website for funeral home Conner & Koch.
MarleneJ
This is appalling, @DailyMail. The grieving parents of two children who died tragically are not required to apologize or offer explanations simply because their son became a mass shooter. They knew and loved a different person. Let’s respect that.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Opaque Finances Could Become Focal Point for Investigators
Tens of millions of dollars flowed among Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts and companies. The question of where that money came from is likely to be a key focus after his death.
MarleneJ
How odd that the politicians, the business elite, the royalty, the venture capitalists, the respected scholars never distanced themselves until he got caught. And died.
Now it’s full ass-covering mode.

Police: Woman Claims Meth Found Hidden In Vagina Isn't Hers
A Louisiana woman told investigators the methamphetamine allegedly found inside her vagina did not belong to her, according to the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office.
MarleneJ
Ladies, if you find drugs down there, please seek medical treatment. Your vagina may be keeping it for others. I won’t judge. Just get her some help. Storing meth is not the way to go.

Yes, he was fired for being an outspoken conservative in liberal Silicon Valley.

Impact of three different plate colours on short-term satiety and energy intake: a randomized controlled trial
Plate colour was previously shown to alter the amount of food consumption due to its environmental effect on food intake. However, different studies have indicated that the effect of plate colour cannot be generalized. In light of this finding, the...
MarleneJ
@bernybelvedere Well, it would appear that manufacturers of colored plates may not be racist but they’re fatphobic, because research suggests that people eat smaller portions on blue plates, for example.
