Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

If YOU are some random dudes in a boat and we need to distract from the Epstein files, we WILL turn you into red mist. It's that simple.

Funny, I'm old enough to remember the 8 ZILLION 'splainers on herd immunity during covid. 5 YEARS AGO. 🤦‍♀️

Over 2.5 million Israelis joined today’s anti-Netanyahu protests, organisers estimate. 300,000 are now in Tel Aviv's Hostage Square. (Haaretz)

Jimmy Carter had to give up his peanut farm.

📌Consider where we are in our nation's history: European prime ministers and presidents are urgently flying into the United States to oppose the actions of its unstable authoritarian leader.

Who could have foreseen that pursuing a lawless terror campaign against the majority of farm laborers would raise the cost of the vital goods they produce for the country

Coming soon from NY Times: Is rape so bad? 7 male pundits weigh in.

This is my shocked face. 🙄

NY Times yesterday:

As virtually everyone else has now said, the jobs data going forward will be more or less meaningless

If you feel helpless, as I do, you can give money to a group you know will provide direct food aid on the ground whenever possible, often risking their lives. I just gave.

We've known for some time now that any crime against women or girls, no matter how heinous, doesn't matter to them. The only red line is pedophilia of boys - if he had raped a 13 yo BOY, we might see some fallout. But there would always be the FAKE NEWS! crowd, so.....
