Huh. I actually found that LDS article pretty interesting. We have a pretty huge LDS community in my city though and while I have complicated feelings about most of it, I also agree with the immense generosity that jkjacq brought up. And I haven't found strings attached in their generosity when related to my work at least. the generosity with no strings attached has been very evident in covid. someone sick, quarantined, dies, they show up with food train, feed you for a month or whatever. pull stuff from the bishops warehouse, and never mention the church, maybe ask if you want a grief counselor from the church to call you. If there's ever a zombie apocalypse, you should know where the closest bishops warehouse is. I'm just saying. I agree but i live within ten miles of two temples, three miles from a stake center and seven churches. Plus you know the bishop mails cards to my house. Last year his wife dropped off cookies. C is basically considered a member by genetics.

I can't believe that nearly a year into the pandemic, when businesses keep closing and unemployment is running out, they are talking about even less stimulus and half the unemployment supplement as before. Do they not understand that so, so many households have been stretched to the breaking point? Assuming it even comes thru. Pretty sure the GOP doesn't give a shit. Make the rich richer and fuck the poor.

A 2 DAY CR? Wow. People are literally gonna go into poverty in the next two weeks, lose their jobs benefits houses and they can’t get their shit together Honestly, I'll take it. Getting Mitch to budge on liability protections is huge and we can still get state and local once Biden swears in.

If Mitch trips on a marble and knocks himself out over the weekend I will not be sad.

Hoyer is saying it'll take 18 hours at least to draft language on the final bill so they're getting a pass to go home while the lawyers work and then votes will be Sunday.

Well, if people had saved better instead of buying iPhones and avocado toast then they wouldn't have to worry about being unemployed for 12 months. /sarc starbucksssssss!!!!!!!!

I'm shocked 😒 news.yahoo.com/u-whistleblower-pressed-exaggerate-leftist-202953426.html'In testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, former intelligence chief Brian Murphy accused department leadership of urging him to "blame Far Left groups in an exaggerated fashion" for violence during summer protests in Portland, Oregon, according to lawyer Mark Zaid.'

Is this something Biden can dissolve or change? It's an advisory committee, so I think he can just ignore them.

I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you! Narrator: She was not shocked. But Hunter Biden's laptop! But he donates his presidential salary.

My FB memories reminded me that yesterday was the 1yr anniversary of 45's impeachment. I've spent an inordinate amount of time trying to wrap my head around that.
How does a year simultaneously go so slow and so fast?

Re: Guardians, I wasn't 100% sure when I first saw this on Twitter whether it was real or from that Netflix show because of the subheading:
"A name chosen by space professionals, for space professionals." What even is that.

In the holiday newsletter from his Aunt, DH just learned his cousin has been accepted into Space Force. Now with this "Guardians" moniker, I'm certain the jokes between them will be relentless.
I can't take it seriously at all.
