‘Through the roof’: This county has the highest average gas price in America | CNN Business For Connie Lear, driving even her hybrid car is a luxury she can rarely afford.

This CNN article laments the gas prices in Mono County, Ca, city of June Lake, which are currently $7.50 a gallon. Malibu Ca gas stations have been charging $6.75 a gallon for THE LAST THREE YEARS!! Seriously. I guess the city struck a special deal with the Ayatollah.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

This Is the Scary True Reason Trump Unleashed His Torrent of Lies We’ve been here before. We’ve heard this baloney already. Why do we have to listen to it again?

Cathartic @djrothkopf.bsky.social is my fave: "A torrent of lies, untruths, misrepresentations, deceptions & distilled nuggets of crapola so vast that it may well live up to the most Trumpian of descriptive phrases: Nobody has ever seen anything like it before.”

The face before you refuse to recite your resume after a woman at the gym says "I know you from somewhere."so you say"I'm here a lot."and she says"No."so you tell her where you live and she says"No" so you confess you are occasionally on TV and she says where? and you say "Hacks" and she says no...

Here is how AI describes the book;
The series "x-rays" how women have historically been treated as second-class citizens, covering body image, marriage, mental illness, fashion, and politics and blending historical research wth dry wit to investigate why 51% of the population is often marginalized.

The Indignities of Being a Woman Check out this great listen on Audible.com. It’s the 21st Century. Why the hell are women - 51% of the population - being treated like second class citizens? The Indignities of Being a Woman candidly...

It's INTERNATIONAL Women's Day! and being an international woman, it is appropriate for me to recommend this audio book I made a few years ago with my friend, Megan Koester (@bornferal).It will tell you A LOT about how civilization has treated women since way back.
