Watching the Star Talk episode with Andy Weir. This conversation is so horrifically awkward.. I feel so bad for Chuck.

The record-setting U.S. drought is so bad that 97% of the Southeast and two-thirds of the West are parched | Fortune Drought usually peaks in summer, not spring, and that's what worries meteorologists.

Drought in the contiguous United States has reached record levels for this time of year. Meteorologists said it’s a bad sign for the upcoming wildfire season, food prices and western water issues. https://bit.ly/4vBDFMl

They would just be another backward thinking region Northern Virginia has to pay for and get abused by. No thanks.

I posted something like this on Threads. I’m really going to be embarrassed when they get home and see the mess we made of things.

On a tangential note: have there ever been thoughts about an Old Man’s War RPG? There are so many directions you could take with that!

Actually asking. Thought he was a bit of a narcissist before, but had no idea he was anti-black.

Yup. Wow.

That video made the case. Wow. Thanks.

Bluesky- I don’t understand why Hasan Piker is being called anti-black by many Democrats. Can someone enlighten me, please?

We could be, but that would be longer term. Our economy would collapse over the next few months. We’d certainly have a famine. We’d die slowly.

They are. But not so much they’re going to risk the continued existence of their country for them.

I I just want to see one of them say “Kamala was not worse than this.”
