Senator Zeitgeist

An acquaintance used grok to research family history. It just made shit up, inventing people of his past.
I think he also said that once gork published the nonsense, he couldn’t get rid of it.

Slacker!

Btw - whatever happened to Trump running the Kennedy Center Honors?
Didn’t that turn into another conservative shit show?

Trump’s whole entire approach to this Olympics is with military force - might makes right kind of thing.
In reality Olympics is all about the friendly competition: skills, hard work, dedication.
It’s not about the ability of a shithead wanna be dictator issuing orders through idiot Pete Hegseth.

There’s a good chance that Trump will ruin/fail this Olympics as he has with every thing he “runs”.
And when the damn thing turns into shambles, he’ll merely blame the liberals.
Also-
As the entire world hates Trump - he thinks he’s going to pull off some kind of awesome spectacle?

Commentary: L.A. never needed the Olympics. With Trump wanting in, it's time to pull out With the Games happening in a presidential election year, Trump would love nothing more than to traipse around an L.A. radically transformed by his deportation aggressions to proclaim his mission acco...

I agree with Gustavo on this matter 100%:

Westlake is an upper class neighborhood. The only reason there’s a Home Depot there is because the wealthy like to own ranches.

“You give it up for free.”
I’ve been seeing this “insult” being bandied about more often.
As if somehow charging for it (pussy) is a more honorable act.
They might as well say:”I charge for my pussy, bitch!”

Houdini being fed.

Houdini’s tree

Fed & released the hummingbird this morning.
Much angst last night when we couldn’t find her.
This morning she was buzzing the ceiling.
Named her Houdini
Fed her a bit of sugar this morning then let her go.
Took off like a bolt of lightning up & over the 40’ spruce.

So very Hitler!

Burning sage is so much more effective.

Bird on a post.

In-laws found a hummingbird in their garage.
Possible concussion.
I’ve been feeding it sugar water and it has flown 2 times.
Latest flight it landed on the upstairs rail post.

Worse is that we won’t be able to reassemble it from the parts & talent left behind bc it’ll all have moved on.

I know that the loss of Corporation for Public Broadcasting will be a long term heartbreaking thing.
There’ll be no immediate shock, which is too bad bc this is what is needed.
It’ll be a near future event when we wake up & wonder what happened to that wonderful thing we had.

It’s going to cost us, the USA.
Not just the unnecessary deaths but the additional loss of scientific brain power.
No doubt our MNRA people are buying airline tickets at this very moment.

Btw - I bet “novel platforms” are magic woo woo treatments like rattles & burning sage.

If there is some kind of benefit or profit to be made from this insanity, I don’t see it.
It’s just pure dumbfuckery.

I watched 10 minutes of John Travolta in “High Rollers.”
Wow!
Not only is Travolta extremely weird looking, the movie reeks of shit through & through.
It’s possibly one of the worst movies. Definitely in the bottom 10 of all bad movies.

A family friend & business associate who runs a machinist type manufacturing business saw same thing: Materials and equipment all way up.
He machines satellite parts - electronics cases, special materials.

The Popeye’s Chicken restaurant near me was shut down today.
They were repeatedly warned not to cook their chicken in Olive Oil.

Yes

Wrong in my case.

Our window warranty came in handy when the thermal seal leaks. A slight metallic coating will show.
Milgard only warranties original owner, which is kinda chickenshit.
Milgard denied warranty on a thermally cracked window, which is also BS but I kinda understand the crack denial even though it

Bones

Me too!

LDS 2nd “lesson” teaches women who are not allowed to hold “the priesthood” should be ok with it.

1 hr of rationalization bullshit.
I’ll tell you that after that 1 hr of crap, I’m not ok with this situation.
If women want the “priesthood” they should damn well have it.

Utahns weigh in on Trump's job performance and key issues 6 months in In a new poll, Utahns were asked if they approve or disapprove of President Donald Trump's job performance during his first six months in office.

I wonder how Utahns would feel about Trump diverting billions of dollars from updating our ground defense systems in order to modify the Qatar 747 gift jet with gold inlay.
A luxury jet that he will keep after leaving office.

A layman like me wrote online that these SSRI drugs are more or less a form of nerve toxin. I’m not sure how that would lead to bursitis but it did.
Good thing I stayed at 50mg and not the 100 as was recommended.
