The humanitarian costs of this war are in no way almost over. They are just beginning. The market may have temporarily recovered but I remain in despair.

We’ve gotten to the point where “choosing words carefully” is considered a negative

Early Iran strikes cost $5.6 billion in munitions, Pentagon estimates The figure, accounting for the war’s first two days, is likely to intensify concerns in Congress that U.S. forces are churning through a scarce supply of advanced weaponry.

The Pentagon calculated it was spending $1 billion a day on Trump and Netanyahu’s war. The truth? It was $3 billion…and that’s just for munitions.

Plus they’ve alarmed everyone by burning through scarce munitions in a matter of days.

For years whenever I felt anxious, I planted a fruit tree. Unfortunately, I did not do much pruning so now I have a lot of bizarrely shaped fruit trees in the yard.

What about Eric Kratz?

Same, and when the world seems so dark having small things to do that might make things better is such a gift.

Oh absolutely. Just wonder about the decision to air this. Felt sort of manipulative. Do you know if she does this every time?

Anyone know how accurate this is?

I ordered a few heavy items for Amazon to ship (I'm mostly off Amazon except for situations I think are loss leaders for them. Loss leaders don't work if they don't inspire other purchases.)

There seems to be a lag between many of us find out and when he does.

This is one of those, "Oh, that's why people get angry at Democrats" situations.

Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

In this case maybe we should ask him who the Vice President is?

Weren’t we promised a taco truck on every corner?

He looks like he's 12

That's exactly what he wants you to do.

I don't know, but I'm so grateful you are watching it instead of me.

I tell my husband that I'm hungry because it feels like 6:40. He says that technically it feels like 4:40. I remind him that it definitely feels like Monday!

The “invisible hand” may guide markets but checks stock prices on its phone & consults algorithms before acting. Meanwhile, the wealth of nations grows for the parts of the nation already holding most of it. The rest of the economy waits for the benefits to trickle down.

AI is wild.

A ChatGPT parody of Wealth of Nations on the anniversary of 1776 publicaiton:

In 2026 prosperity still arises from labor, trade % specialization—but division of labor has become so refined that some people produce complex financial instruments while others produce lunch deliveries for them.

Was there no one available to write a timely parody today in honor of this anniversary? Actually asied ChatGPT to do it for me & it wasn't bad.

Also fired any design staff. AI can do this stuff.

Someone had a conscience.

Former U.S. President George W. Bush publicly said he stopped playing golf in 2003 because of the ongoing Iraq War.

People like this are the same people that accused the Pennsylvania Dutch of being Nazi sympathizers in WWII, though they'd been in the country 200+ years. Awful then, awful now.

It happened plenty when unions were strong. My dad was a Grainmiller working at Pillsbury for my entired childhood. We didn't go on many vacations, but we all went to college. Impossible to imagine now.

YouTube video by Simon Roper From Old English to Modern American English in One Monologue

This is the best video I have ever seen and the only thing I want to talk about: a monologue that gradually transitions from 5th century Old English to contemporary 21st century English.

I have watched it three times already.
