EXTINCTION REBELLION isn’t about the climate. It’s about heteronormativity.

Yes, it's from America's new paper of record.

THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW mandating no more than one 30-second 'infomercial' per hour per vendor during the Medi[s]Care open enrollment period. Seeing two or more during every commercial break is wearing out the mute button on my TV remote.

IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD HAVE PREDICTED: Target employees won the 'Fight For $15' but had their hours cut and lost other benefits, such as health insurance.

The next three are from an early morning walk around the neighborhood. Here's the road leading to the subdivision entrance:
