I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Linkee-poo late edition

If you're in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana get inland to higher ground if you can. I hope the conservative governments in those states have plans to evacuate those who don't have the financial wherewithal to be able to evacuate on their own (including nursing homes, the homeless, the poor, etc). Say, did Trump ever fill all those positions in the DoHS, specifically FEMA?

Wanted to get that out, and the link about this weekend before, you know, this weekend.

"Stretching should never be taken to the level of causing pain. Of even more concern is failure to act when it is clear that a cheerleader is in extreme pain and begging to stop." Mean girls are mean. Or more accurately, hazing of any form is prohibited and people who don't have every child's best interest at the forefront of their minds shouldn't be allowed to coach or school children.

"'Talk about kicking the hornets' nest! This is sure to be a barn burner,' Kyle Chapman a.k.a. 'Based Stickman' and the 'Alt-Knight' wrote on Facebook urging supporters to head to the Bay this weekend, according to the Los Angeles Times. Chapman, who is popular among alt-right groups, fought protesters in Berkeley in March 4, and has been charged with felony possession of a weapon and other charges." He seems nice. Just look at those photos. Don't they look like people who just want to defend their 1st amendment rights with their helmets, shields, bats, goggles… But, hey, here come the clowns.

So how's that "Russian won't get involved with a N. Korea situation" concept going (yes, argued with people on twitter about this). "Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers have flown a rare mission around the Korean peninsula at the same time as the United States and South Korea conduct joint military exercises that have infuriated Pyongyang." Seems like Russia really wants to be involved. Again, Putin's goal is to destabilize the West.
