He really is an idiot.

So,... Basically,... Worse than the Obama negotiation resulted in?

Elections & choices have consequences.

I'm of the opinion that Congressional Districts should be redrawn every 10 years to reflect our Census results. But, redrawn by impartial & non-partisan commissions do actually reflect both voter demographics & with some sort of minimum population & distance spanning formula.

A solid idea. Cuts evaporation & generates power from otherwise wasted spaces.

I'll take "telegraphing planned war crimes" for $500 Alex,...

I need to reread this book again.

I got a couple of $ Ks back in refund, but paid out over $ 25K over the course of 2025 to the Feds. I'm not complaining actually. I do OK.

I'm just annoyed that big corporations net pay out so little when they benefit so much more than I, or most wage earners do.

Here's hoping the 'new management' starts undoing some of that damage.

Well,... To be fair,... Trump also bankrupted actual casinos before. There is a pattern.

One of my favorite albums ever even 40 years later.

Cope? One big celebration vs potentially thousands of small celebrations?

Admittedly, 20 seems a bit small as regards a top number.

It's hard losing a furry family member. My Topper passed a bit more than 2 years ago & still almost expect to see him when I get home from work.

Remember the good parts of your life together.

Witness breathtaking drone footage capturing the fiery heart of a volcanic eruption. A new era of vulcanology is here, revealing nature's power like never before.

I need to stop watching random stuff on YouTube,...

An honest question: How does someone 'accidentally' cheat on their spouse?

So,... No,... He can't name any actual disease that deserves less research funding.

The underlying problem is Iran can continue to lob relatively cheap drones at their neighbors and our ships & bases for a long time. We use up dramatically more expensive missiles to defend against them.

Trump has started a war with a massive price tag & no actual military plans.

Life finds a way. 😄

The Iceberg Theory, visualized:

It's a little more complicated than that, but that seems to be part of the core issue here.

She's an excellent Senator & I think she would have been a solid President if elected.

"Why aren't we doing this?"

Because some big corporation hasn't figured out how to monetize it & monopolize it properly yet.

Love this!

I absolutely refuse to watch the orange turd live. He just makes my head hurt.

Actually,... The USA is a mess IMO. And unfortunately, we're kinda dragging everyone else down with us because of MAGA and the orange pile of porcine feces.

We're going to be many years digging back out of this hole.

Let me first state that Andrew Yang is kind of a kook & hack. That being said, he was correct when he was running for President c2020 in pointing out why a guaranteed minimum income was going to be a good idea for our economy.

BTW I donated to Yang's campaign that year.

Yep,... Idiocracy in action. Take a functional system & replace it with an untested AI system & discover 'why' that functional system was working.

I suspect we're stuck with the orange turd until he croaks, resigns or times out during January of 2029.

It's going to be a difficult few years in the meantime.

Yep,... And this is exactly why MAGA Republicans want to suppress voting turnout. They are pretty sure they cannot win otherwise.

Here's hoping,...
