Woke or un-woke, gender or mis-gendered, Trump loving or not, homosexual or straight or some variation, or sadly the feeling that you must kill those closest to you to escape, and on and on. What goes on at the level of the brain defies any possible current understanding. It might be intellectually satisfying to be reductionist, and certain, but things and our personal understandings are always more complex. The truth is that we really don't have a clue why we feel the way we do or why we act on those feelings the way we do. But we each and every one of us is always on the precipice of being something other than we think we are. Hence, judge not your fellow beings for their quirks because you just cannot know whether or not you are next up.

First they came for the journalists. We don't know what happened after that.

Everything he says is a lie. EVERY SINGLE THING.

If you like, but that ostensible truth doesn't void the fact that whatever was the brain chemistry rebalance, or sudden electrical storm, that caused the subject to grab a gun and murder his family is still a mystery. Nor does it void the fact that a butcher knife has the same utility. Of course the proliferation of guns in America is a huge contributor to these events, you won't get an argument from me, but clearly there is a lot more involved that can't be known from making a few jumps together or giving them a good look over. As I recall, Ted Bundy was a rather benign and pleasant looking fellow who preferred bludgeoning over shooting.

Fundraisers are asking for money to provide solar power systems for people in areas affected by the hurricane. Some are using gas generators, but gasoline is getting expensive and the dirt roads they are using now will not be passable in the winter. They need the reliability of solar. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-weave-powers-solar-relief-efforts?attribution_id=sl:9148a13b-de86-466f-b8fb-590f390ffeca&lang=en_US&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp8_c&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link

Not on your life, my gullible friend!

Old couple had been married for 65 years and he was on his death bed. He tells the wife the combination to a safe that he had always told her to never look in. Inside the safe was $40,000 and three eggs. This of course puzzled her. She asked him what the three eggs & the $40,000 meant. He said, ‘Every time I was unfaithful to you I put an egg in the safe.’ She was not happy but said, 'I guess that’s not too bad for 35 years.' He continued, 'Every time I got a dozen eggs I sold them. That’s where the $40,000 came from.’ Jerry Baumchen
