I recently discovered that with these hearing aids the VA supplied me with, I am once again able to #hear well enough to play my #guitars and #sing. It’s been wonderful. I’d more or less given up.
I’m just a guy fascinated by the world around me. I enjoy conversations about #books #music, #guitars, and #photography. Love #rocknroll #Americana, & #alt-country music.

Time to stay out of Florida... it's nazi central down there. Desantis is working with the 1931 Germany playbook and it's working.
All the fascists around the country and slathering to get started in their own states following his lead since no one is pushing back against him.
Hmmm. Has there been any GOOD political news in the U.S. in the last week or so?

#Disney didn’t cause a #dictator to rise in #Florida but they are sure as hell going to have to deal with it. Capitulation is not the solution. If Disney wants their park to remain the “happiest place on Earth” then they’re going to have to stand up to the #bully to ensure that happiness. Disney has the means to fight back and they need to draw a line in the sand and take a stand. We all need to. #politics #desantis #takeastand #boycottflorida
@pivoinebleue Lots of people keep saying Disney could and should fight back, but will they? Haven’t seen any signs of it yet.
*Not that they care, but if they don’t they’ll never see any of my $ again in FL or CA.
@cococlaudi In a word - yes.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
If #Disney doesn’t push back against #DeSantis, then they are officially #America’s stupidest company. As far as I’m concerned, they will be complicit in the undermining of #democracy in the United States.

#DeSantis #punished #Disney for doing the all-American act of criticizing the government. Hmmm. I “thought” that fell under the umbrella of free speech. This behavior belongs more in somewhere like Russia than the USA, doesn’t it?

Media outlets are outraged over the seemingly racist remarks made by the creator of the Dilbert cartoon and now refuse to run it, but they are okay with running ads by religious right organizations like Hobby Lobby and comments made by racist and hateful politicians and other influencers. Oh America, irony be thy name.

Fact Check: Nikki Haley, that perennial right wing candidate who never met a lie she could resist repeating, told everyone that President Biden called the U.S. a "racist nation."
Bzzzzzz - Not true, Nikki! What he said was, “I don’t think the American people are racist,”...“but I think after 400 years, African Americans have been left in a position where they are so far behind the eight ball in terms of education and health, in terms of opportunity.”
A far cry from Haley's claim.
