In the 4.5-mile bike ride to pick up my kids from school, I found the following in painted bike lanes: at least 6 trash bins, a parked car, a parked firefighter truck (likely lunch break), and a parked city maintenance vehicle. This is unacceptable, and another reason why paint is not infrastructure

Warner Bros. Discovery Said to Be in Exclusive Talks With Netflix

All eyes now on the Trump White House and their lackeys at the FCC and FTC, who were hoping Paramount-Ellison would have the winning bid, and — as we've seen — will do anything legal or otherwise to twist the media in their favor.

It’s that time of year again, where I remember how a mammogram saved my life five years go, and I proceed to hold my breath while I await my scan results. Don’t put off your mammograms, people with breasts: five minutes can make all the difference…

Trump has issued 1500+ pardons and counting…a who’s who of drug kingpins, crypto scammers, violent insurrectionists, terrorism financiers & corrupt politicians.
