White squirrel sighting! I would have easily run right by this one if not for the two women that had stopped to take a picture. I saw one earlier in the summer as well.

Thanks to Kenny, I saw Bikini Kill and Sweeping Promises at the Brooklyn Paramount. Both put on rocking shows. The remodeled Brooklyn Paramount theater is amazing!

We don’t own a car, I think it would be electric if we did. However, listening to Dave talk the effort that goes into finding charging stations and the confrontations at those stations gives me second thoughts.

This week, a former President announced on live, national television, during a debate that “They’re eating the dogs!” Perhaps more appalling, that was but one out of 33 lies he spewed during that debate. How anyone can be an undecided voter at this point is beyond me.

I watched Greg Palast’s Vigilantes Inc. (link to the stream below). The voter suppression in Georgia and elsewhere in the country is very concerning. While everyone’s attention is on this wingnut’s antics, thousands of voters are quietly being taken off the rolls. There are people trying to combat this, even in the face of strong arm tactics including arrests and charges carrying lengthy prison sentences. Check out the movie, it’s eye opening. I’d also like to mention that I have no relation to the Pam Reardon interviewed in this film.
