Complaining about the idiocy of the opposition is such a distraction – a waste of time – and provides little incentive for Democratic voter turnout.

One of my guilty pleasures in life is looking at all the celebrity gossip – from tabloids at the grocery store checks to a mid-week check-in of E! News. I like seeing what lies behind the mask of celebrity, the character they play on the screen. Plus, when I’m having a bad week, it’s a good reminder that it could be worse.

I am really excited to tell you about the new episodes of Kazoops which will be aired at 4.20pm on CBeebies from tomorrow, the 17th April (Easter Monday). Kazoops is a wonderfully imaginative show about a little boy called Monty and his pet pig who set off on fantastic adventures. Every time I have put Kazoops on for the twins they sit and watch it from start to end, loving every minute which speaks volumes for my very active "threenagers".

I was late arriving at the social media and blogging party. In fact, I didn’t become a citizen of the virtual world until January 2017. What can I say? It took me a while to decide to join the twenty-first century. But I can now honestly say that I’m glad I did. Who says an old dog can’t learn new tricks? My curiosity has led me down exciting new paths that have opened new doors through which I’ve learned new things.

Look, we don't really care so much about changing our representative's "mind," as we do about changing his/her votes to more closely conform to our position on the issues. Take Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA4), for example. Those of us concerned with climate change want him to sponsor, co-sponsor, or otherwise support and vote for legislation addressing the mitigation of climate change. Principally, we want him to support legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

How do we accomplish... Читать дальше...

As some people are celebrating holidays that include things like chocolate, candy, and feasts, I am seeing a ton of food shaming, food policing, and food moralizing.  All of this is crap for the reasons I explain here, but I thought what I would do today is give you some options for response. Note, today’s responses are in pictures (mostly starring our adorable dogs – you can click on them to enlarge them) If you are looking for verbal responses, head over here.

Can a ketogenic diet alleviate some skin conditions, like acne and other similar conditions? It was the case for Sailor, who has not had flare ups of her Hidradenitis Suppurativa after becoming keto adapted.

Discussions of the literature of Portuguese-speaking Africa produce very few names from Guinea-Bissau. That was from Moema Parenta Augel's chapter on Guinea-Bissau in Patrick Chabal's 'The Post-colonial Literature of Lusophone Africa'. I would like to add that even less so in these discussions of Lusophone African writing are women writers from Guinea-Bissau. Indeed, a google search of writers from Guinea Bissau brought up an initial list of eight writers - all of which were men. This made me wonder... Читать дальше...

This morning I got in a nearly 8km run. Weather was nice, sunny and pleasant temperatures. With all this overeating due to the Pesach holiday, it has been very important to me to stick to my running schedule. Hopefully the running has kept my overeating, especially of matza, in balance

Climate Facts: Sharing science and hope

There is a consensus among climate scientists and scientific organizations about the affects of man on the Earth's climate. According to climate scientists we are already seeing the affects of global warming.

There is an incredibly not fun game to be played called "The GOP Platform or The Handmaid's Tale "? In fact, search for "the handmaid's tale too relevant" in Google and you'll find over 15 pages of think-pieces, lists and interviews where that Big R Word "Relevant" is used. The producers of the new series certainly never expected it to feel as real as it currently does, turning a cautionary dystopia into actual legislature to fiercely resist.

Pastor John Gray opens up about his relationship with Pastor Joel Osteen and being the first black pastor of Lakewood Church on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday.

"The secret is out," Nook Realtor David Hernandez says. "Downtown Long Beach is expected to be the next market to see a huge transformation."

Janet Yellen calls Federal Reserve meeting to order

Jim Cramer is a former hedge fund manager and best-selling author. He’s the host of CNBC’s Mad Money TV show and a co-founder of TheStreet, Inc.

According to CNBC, with oil prices on the rise, Cramer recently used technician Carolyn Boroden’s charts to try to determine,

“[W]hether the uptick in crude oil prices is just a one-off [an aberration or anomaly] or if it’s time to get bullish.”

Note that when it comes to investing in crude oil... Читать дальше...

A voyage with all in a ship of their own;
It begins with a cry and ends with a mourn.

It’s easy in the beginning; just cripples in the water,
But as you go in deep, some get slaughtered.

Tides, enormous waves they form.

Abruptly, a hurricane strikes; some get stuck,
Others survive and some already died.

“Few lucky people are born in stagnant waters”
(The time has come…)

You reached the shore but by this time... Читать дальше...
