Needles and haystacks

I never paid attention to TMZ but I am glad for this bit of honesty. I got too old to know any of the attention seekers they use for clicks anyway but always thought of them as gossipy and embellishing and not necessarily lying. So TMZ as antidote to MSM? Not impossible.

This must be satire?? Surely? But wait, it is Scottsdale. No way any grandparent call ends so soon after 15 min and a board call takes only 30. BS in this and every other one inch mm deep list item. This “article” oozes with so much smugness and self righteousness, I want to slap my screen.

Asked 6 year old son why he was playing a car driving game with the camera pointed at the driver seat instead of the windshield. “Because I want to.” This was 4,275th time in the past 12 months that my kid unknowingly revealed what underlies all of orange man’s mess. “Because I want to.” They’re 6.

So the military system codified but does not really allow practically for personal responsibility and ethics and decision making. So it looks good on paper for the lawyers but is a broken system, one of many, that cost the lives of two people.In this one instance. Shameful.

Is it that you needed better words to explain these actions, Tricia? Try these. ICE terrorizes, ruins, hurts, traumatizes families. Pick any or all for your next unapologetic waste of time.

Cost, driving consumerism by selling the public cheap Chinese junk that nobody needs, and having corporations be treated like people when it’s convenient for them only.

I appreciate that mortgage rates were really high. But the blame is about more than our housing system in this country. It’s about all the systems that were created and solidified by people older than me (I’m an old millennial) like health care costs, disappearance of pensions, higher education

Who invented those private equity firms to gobble up smaller companies and bankrupt them?! Wasn’t my millennial friends and I who were in high school in the 90s/2000s when our possibilities were being stolen by greedy people who got theirs and left nothing for the rest.

Why review people who came in during Biden admin when the shooting suspect was granted asylum only a few months ago during Trump’s admin? What a misleading headline, WaPo.

Studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. is a preposterous goon and there’s lots of supporting evidence. Let’s study it more.

So true, you can feel it. And what’s more funny is that he got punked by kids at Santa Monica High School. It was not as fancy a community back then, it’s true. Perhaps he wanted to join in and they wouldn’t let him.

Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown Workers call the partisan email "a vile slap in the face."

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Jimmy Kimmel is Back!

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube.

It would be a shame for you to share it

I watched Kimmel’s monologue and thought it was great. And because Disney did the right thing and he said some good things, I feel optimistic for the first time in 9 months. I have no idea why I feel like things might change for the better, or rather, that all is not lost yet.

Well..... now that you bring it up

May Trump hate those of us with humanity and heart so much that it unites the world. Maybe then he will get the Nobel Peace Prize.

It’s been 8 months and he never delivered on the promise of contracts for which he was bribed? Sounds like an ineffective leader.

The giant catalog they send you that is an absolutely sad waste of paper and postage always has an “editor’s letter” style conservative political message in it, from Elizabeth Uihlein. I can’t think of another business vendor that does something like this. Seems creepy but I’m not a billionaire…

It’ll be the best, most watched tribute ever, just like Trump’s first inauguration.

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield quits saying Unilever ‘silenced’ social mission After nearly 50 years, Greenfield says he cannot ‘in good conscience’ continue and suggests promise of independence has been dishonoured Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield has stepped away from the ice-cream brand after nearly 50 years, according to a post by the other founder, Ben Cohen. Cohen’s post shared what he said was a letter from Greenfield in which he called it one of the “hardest and most painful decisions” he had ever made. Continue reading...

So natural-ish selection?

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

I find the whole thing offensive, especially the word trailblazer.

I assume that the employee was (possibly) demonstrating a religious belief that racist hate spewing people should not be idolized as gods. How is that not a protected action? But I guess freedom of religion is only for people who speak about upholding Christianity while not actually practicing it.

It’s slop, AI or not.

We went miniature golfing over the weekend. My five year old who held his club backwards half the time beat me and his dad and in fact ended up with one less than par. And a hole in one. Fair and square. What is the lesson? Stop trying so hard? Do things backwards? Be five again? Good goals.

Firing everyone who could tell you what you're doing is unethical or illegal does not make what you're doing ethical or legal.

Women and children handcuffed being taken into the downtown federal building.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
