Jamie Lee Curtis writes graphic novel. Mother Nature

https://www.npr.org/2023/08/08/1192703489/jamie-lee-curtis-graphic-novel-mother-nature

Snip

Oscar-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis has made a separate career for herself as an author. Her bestselling books for children encourage them to be silly, be patient and like themselves.

But her new graphic novel, Mother Nature, is more in line with the horror movies for which she's known.

The scream queen co-wrote an "eco-horror" screenplay, which New Yorker illustrator Karl Stevens adapted into a graphic novel for Titan Comics.

Does anyone know of an aggregate site or social media

That reports on or follows tRumps social media posts.

I don’t wanna be fan girl so certainly not gonna follow him on anything. My reason for wanting to know is that I what to be aware of his posts to the cult. All of them as sick as it is. It may be that he is fomenting some other plan to “attack” visa vi his cult. And it (imo) is imperative that we know more ahead of time this time.

I read singular tfg posts (probably mostly tweets) publicized here prior to J6, but after J6 there were many more posts revealed that in aggregate may have provided us with more warning. And this time more warning is what I want! I don’t feel like the next cult activity is going to be against a building/institution.

I would use the information for self protection and for my family’s protection. I always want to have a back up plan. Especially since I am back in a red state. Of course I think DUers in general can be more informed of pending cult activities and “stop the steal” style gatherings.

I don’t have the time to go through many resources to aggregate but maybe someone knows someone that does. I remember that some people were smart enough to capture tons of data before a lot was deleted after J6 and tfg got his big rump kicked off Twitter. It’s been too long tho since j6 and I have forgotten probably as much as I remember.
Thanks

WASHINGTON — A Donald Trump fan who participated in the Jan. 6 attack and then was the subject of a conspiracy theory on Tucker Carlson's former Fox News show was arrested by the FBI on Wednesday.

Rally Runner, formerly known as Daniel Donnelly Jr., was arrested in St. Louis, Missouri, according to court records. Runner faces five federal charges, including obstructing, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder.

KC room or house help

I recently moved back to MO…my son had his third daughter and I have been out west or in AK for all of my grandkids lives. The oldest has been working on me for the past year…and I guess she won! Lol

I have convinced my kid to move out of TX but it will probably be about 1 year because they have a newborn.

I am situating in KC MO. Shelling out deposits etc for an apartment would severely affect my savings so I would like to room for about 6 months…or if a good community, longer.

When I moved to WA almost 7 years ago a DU member gave me a contact and viola I got my place to stay and lived out a 1 year lease.

Another barrier to getting my own apartment is the fact I have a brand new job. Starting today. So even though I have the money for the deposits I don’t have proof of income they will be wanting.

My job is in the Gladstone area of KC MO so within ten miles of there would be ideal.

Thanks for reading and sharing if you have a contact. I have excellent roommate and rental references too.

Edit: I am a bartender but the new job is at a nice Italian restaurant that closes at 8 weeknights and 9 weekends. So no 2am closes…and I’ll have 40 hrs.

Anecdotal but seen in many states RE: Bud Light

I recently traveled 5700 miles in 15 days.
I am a bartender and my usual is to find the local dive bar(s). Also, I am an American Legion Post member so I find the local Post to stop in.
I meet and talk to people and I observe and I have always drank Bud Light.

Throughout three Canadian Territories, and 8 (mostly red states): MT, WY, SD, IA, MO, AR, OK, TX…Fact is, Bud Light is being served and purchased and consumed by Republicans.

Also, Budweiser (which is the King of BL) lol

I believe that the only reason this became a big deal is because people with some power or celebrity opened their pie holes and spouted and the media picked it up with gusto and gave it some gas.

In a recent news article I read that the idiot Kid Rock’s bar still serves it…idk if that is true as I would never go there (even if for research 🧐

I’ve also seen report of Modelo taking top sales spot over Bud Light. But I do not see Modelo in peoples hands. I do not put Modelo in peoples hands. Even in TX I did not see Modelo in people’s carts or hands.

Ya’ll. The media is the enemy of truth nowadays.
That is all.
