Lewis is rightly going to be angry about that strategy call (or lack thereof.)

That’s so nice of them to keep Cadillac from last place today. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜¬

My plans for catching up on housework have been thwarted by a big water outage, so:

1.) Australian GP
2.) starting on taxes
3.) putting together slides for 2 classes

I’d describe it as β€œjoint aching” weather

And these people think β€œwomen are too emotional” to lead?!?!

I don’t think she’s smart enough to know that an omission = admission.

Looks like those YouGov numbers are about 40 points too high!

Paternal grandfather was a dairy farmer; maternal had a β€œtruck farm” for growing vegetables for market, before eventually selling it off for an excavating business. I am not enough of a morning person to milk cows at 5am (nor 5pm.)

I’m sure that will be processed in a timely, clear-cut manner by this regime. πŸ˜¬πŸ™„

What is he hoping they do, exactly? The media isn't going to send planes!

Oh, indeed…it’s the last resort for those without other options.

Wish I were surprised, but no...it's not like we haven't had decades to learn this.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.

In my experience (HS in rural Upper Peninsula of Michigan), it wasn’t the college prep track that went into the military: it was the kids who had no prospects for jobs or higher education. It’s like a modern-day CCC for poor areas of the country.

I ordered my grandmother’s BC off of Michigan’s version, but it didn’t require DL. Still hadn’t got after 2 months so did it as an in-person document retrieval. Thank goodness I only had to hit one county for everything.

I had to do this recently when ordering 3 generations’ worth of records at the Clerk’s Office directly here in Michigan. Figured the photocopy was less of a risk than whatever I submitted online. Forgot to get a copy of my dad’s DL & we had to call him to text it to me (w/help from my cousin.)

Also has zero concern about what happens to the civilians in those countries, once their leadership is removed.

Women and people of colour and trans people would also like a rest from being β€œso political all the time” but since our identities have been politicised and our rights are perpetually under attack, we can’t.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

Wondering how that might affect universities with DoD contracts?

Super cool of you to do that. Heaven knows they will have so much more fun with you than that confused orange guy in DC!!

Sadly, no, and saddled with back-to-back the first half of the day.

I dunno, man…the Wolverines players on the U.S. roster did some good work ( as well as the players from Michigan.)
