"Putin seems less eager to reach a solution [re: #Ukraine] than to demonstrate his dominance over #Trump... when the phone call was scheduled, #Putin was on stage at an event. When his interviewer asked if he needed to go because he would be late for the call, Putin dismissed the question & #laughter broke out... “Making leaders wait is an old Putin power play. But, this is pretty brutal. Putin is publicly mocking Trump.”

If these guys displayed such obnoxious behaviour in a civilized #egalitarian #African #huntergatherer society, they would be taken down mercilessly with #laughter and merriment -- almost always by older #women.

If they continued to throw their weight about with obnoxious #dominant #male behaviour, they would be taken OUT. Certainly in the Kalahari that could be done by a child with a poisoned arrow. Most likely by a bunch of hunters doing it together.

But if these guys had grown up in such a society, it's extremely unlikely they'd behave like such assholes. For tens and hundreds of thousands of years, women simply selected against obnoxious male dominance.

It is only a recent historic aberration in the life of our species, and most normal human beings know it.

a sense of humour will get you through many things…

recipe to restore your sense of humour:

diaphram release

1. lie on floor or horizonal, knees bent.
2. with an awareness of the diaphram, begin to cry or laugh, and let them alternate. fake it until you make it.
3. it may feel like a wave and emotional roller-coaster. remember you can be still whenever you choose by just returning to the breath.

When I walked into the kitchen this morning, spouse said, "I saved the most expensive Valentine's present for this morning."

And he handed me an egg.

We laughed hard, but it was the morbid laughter of dark times, and though I know that "all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us," but I really wish none of this were happening.

About pointing and laughing at Hair Füror and the 4th Reich: I’ve gotten a fair amount of pushback and how serious the moment is, and so on. All true enough.

I just want to say that if you don’t point and laugh, then you are #NORMALIZING him, just as the media does. If you don’t point how how none of this is rational, then you are helping to #SANEWASH him.

This is what they want and expect. #Laughter is our weapon, remember MAGA don’t understand humor, they take themselves seriously.

#Edinburgh based followers and non followers people. All welcome. Any week, pub afterwards for food and chat.
This could be fun for #Halloween
And there's a massive build planned for Sunday 1st December 4pm to 6pm (same place) with more #beer to be had. No experience necessary. (Wear a lumber Jack shirt, if possible, and jeans)
I will wave if you call out my username.
Meet new people, all of which #fun smiles and #laughter
