Ducky Lover
Living in DeSantistan and looking for sanity and intelligent comments. I bribe little duckies with corn so they come to my yard.
I'm a XitterQuitter and block bots & trolls--had too much experience with sewer tweets at that toxic place!
- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
- Utterly brought me to tears. 🥹
- Frank Luntz is better at explaining why voters react than at predicting who will win. His theory on the "7%" is interesting and I personally agree with him on this. All the people who voted for trump because they didn't like Harris will be a big factor in the 2026 mid-terms. #Vote

- Exactly what I was about to post. I'm from the generation who believed that all doctors had to be men, were gods, & was never a feminist. I grew up & introspected on such insanity. I voted for both women. What the eff is wrong with ppl in this country? Is RW mass media propaganda that effective?

- Gonna beg media not to just repeat Trump's obviously bullshit framing in the headlines. Tell readers the truth in the headlines. Alternatives: "With Artists and Audience Fleeing, Trump Closes Kennedy Center Indefinitely" "Trump Says Kennedy Center Needs Renovation, Despite Recent $250M Renovation"
- Breaking news: President Trump said that the Kennedy Center could temporarily close for roughly two years to undergo construction. wapo.st/49VsdCk

- Writing something serious to himself might seem weird, but I've done it, too. If the subject is critical, I write it in an email to myself so I can revise it, or whatever. Asking E for antibiotics seems logical because Gates wouldn't want to have any medical records of asking his doctor for it.

- You brought me to tears. 😢
- I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of thinking about all the signs that #Simba showed that something was wrong…and can’t stop crying. Maybe I wasn’t such a great cat mom.
- That happened to me once, too. It was in 2004, and I'm still feeling horribly guilty about what happened to that sweet cat -- his intestinal track ruptured. There was no saving him. 🥹
- “Trying to go back to a phony-baloney corporate job of filing trademarks and talking about profit shares versus incentives and other just horse s--- is just so ultimately meaningless,” Young said. “I’ll figure something else out. But right now, my city needs me.’” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

- Plant City is evenly split Dem/Repub. But it seems far more Repub where I live. That impression might be because MAGAts are far more vocal, & wow are they vocal here! I was surprised how many were at the only No Kings rally here, several hundred! We got lots of horn honks & good comments from cars.

- I had to research that! Adam Johnson isn't running in Hillsborough County. Rather, it's Manatee County. My guess is that whoever is running against him will blast his thievery of Pelosi's podium. 😀

- Whoa. This is from an FBI email with the subect "Re: Epstein - Cellmate Interview" Here are the summaries provided by the FBI agent.

- We need a DOJ and FBI who aren't corrupted and beholden to felon/pedo.
- I'm assuming Bradenton is in Florida. I'm in Plant City and want to follow ppl who live near me, well, kind of near. (I'm also an old lady -- the photo is me, but not recent 😁).
- BTW, my grandparents lived in Bradenton, but they both died in the 90s.

View full thread"AI enhanced" doesn't seem to be the correct term to use when part of the image is factual. I've been trying to find a more succinct term. Perhaps it should be "AI manipulated" because it's not "AI generated," which would be entirely fake. What do you think the correct term should be?
- In fact, most of that image is factual.
- [Not loaded yet]
- It's weird, actually, to say that it was "enhanced" by AI. I'm not sure what the correct term should be. Enhancing a digital photo is done by programs designed to bring out more detail inherent within the pixels. But AI kind of suggests that it's partially fake. So, just not sure how to say it.

- There is something very special about Alex Pretti that causes me to tear up whenever I see his face or read about him. He was one of humanity's best executed by many of humanity's worst. 😡
- [Not loaded yet]
- Being enhance is not the same as AI generated. Please don't conflate the two. The FBI often helps law enforcement agencies enhance videos of criminal acts caught on random security cameras. Those of us with PhotoShop or PaintShop Pro can enhance images as well to see details better.
- [Not loaded yet]
- They executed him. 🤬

- It was enhanced by AI, as some have said. I also can enhance it by using a photo program such as PaintShop Pro or PhotoShop.

- Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

- That she was AG in Florida kinda says it all. 😏
- Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
- Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

- Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

- I keep asking myself that, too. Why isn't it mentioned anywhere what these two women are being arrested for.

- What's incredibly worrisome is that JD Vance, a 100% suckup loyalist, is the person who certifies the votes in the general election in 2028. Remember, this is what Pence did honestly and why Jan6ers wanted to hang him. Vance won't do it honestly. What happens then?

- REPUBLICAN Rep. Don Bacon: “There’s been grave damage done with our European allies. It’s going to take the next president to spend a lot of time trying to fix the relationship… our allies in Europe don’t think we’re dependable — and that’s a shame.”
- [Not loaded yet]
- And then you've got JD Vance as the next traitorous POTUS, Vought and Miller still running things in the background, loyalists still deeply embedded in every agency--including DOGE -- federal court judges, the Extreme Court, and tech-bro billionaires funding this nightmare--Musk, Theil, et al. 🤬
- And tonight all the main news broadcasts in america will not even mention that their president is unhinged, demented and clearly unfit to lead anything at all. They are so afraid of the truth.

- True, but it's what Trump showed international leaders at that meeting yesterday. That manipulated map was done by his regime to show what he believes he has a right to control.

- For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply. Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.

- Yes, indeed. Legacy knowledge is extremely important. So many federal agencies now have lost it and will struggle to function even if Dems win back Congress and start restaffing the gutted agencies.

- Update: Just today, the Tampa Times has an article about ICE here. So they are harassing brown ppl, but being a red state, not much news about it & DeSatan is a major hater, too. Tampa leans Dem, so is the paper. Hoping David Jolly gets elected Gov.
