And unless I'm reading wrong, that doesn't cover the end of June early July post debate feeding frenzy.

And alas I do not believe in anything even remotely supernatural but at times I like to pretend to myself that I do. I mean, I know there is no fae in that tree even if I don't know why there is an iron ring around it.

BTW. Lodgepole pine about 100ft tall. Ring was unbroken with no obvious potential break point. Clearly a fae prison.

We gave our names to noone.

Yeah, yeah, I know it's AI, I laughed anyhow.

Fingers crossed you are right! The guy just seems to be able to avoid accountability and people seem stupidly willing to sacrifice reputation, career, and in some case life for him, so I tend towards the pessimistic.

Unless someone outside of this administration has a copy of the files from before this gang of crooks took over, we're never going to see "The Epstein Files". We might -might- get a version minus Trump and major R donors, any D will be untouched, and/or even if not there, implied to be.

Trump will no doubt veto, but even if he doesn't, does anyone really believe that the files are "as they were" when the investigation wrapped up? Because I have no doubt they've been selectively edited down to exclude Trump & Republicans and edited up to include (or imply inclusion) of some Dems.

Totally agree with you, and "way out over their skis" is a mega fantastic expression I had not seen before!

Buy it or don't, you'll pay for it either way also fits.

The highest compliment I can pay anyone who teaches is that they are an educator, in all the good ways that term can be used.

And as a parent, I'm always happy when my kids tell me about those who've done good by them. So you've probably made more than one parent smile as well.

If you stop taking blood pressure medications, your bp goes back up. The meds correct for a metabolic issue but do not fix it. Yes, people will need to be on the meds going forward, but that's the case for most chronic conditions.

They should all have gotten up and left.

Gentle thoughts.

How about dogs?

US here but very relatable. I wonder how some of those would stack up in the English speaking world at large.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm sorry.

The world has lost a force for good.

What an idiot.

KC exec.

I'm just happy the two anti trans candidates for my local school board when down big time. Not just defeated, but soundly so.

Not a lawyer or lawyer adjacent but I read they were sealed by a
Federal Judge to protect the victims and the Biden admin thus did not have the authority to release them. I am not sure by I also read that the Trump admin doesn't either.

Yeah. The red was visible naked eye too, which was really cool!

Seattle area. Red was visible naked eye when the clouds were broken up a bit.

Seattle area same. Much sympathy. 😭

Thank you for sharing this.

I often think of how, at the Vietnam Memorial, the people are listed not by alphabetical order but by date of death, so they're surrounded by their comrades, the ones that died with them. It always breaks my heart a little.

Oh crud. I checked and it's the pasta thing... I hope this blows over, ie Trump forgets those tariffs before it becomes a major issue. I'm sorry. I remember how stressful the blueberry issue was and if I were you I'd be paranoid he was after MY family directly.

What a beautiful girl. I'm so sorry and gentle thoughts to you and your family.

Six large puppies in a full grass base that are made of ceramic and carbon fiber, and the base says less we forget and white cursive script

Here’s the poppies in the bottom of my office building .

They are really moving because they are about five feet tall and are very 3D.

🙄

Someone said elsewhere that it's hard to negotiate when the other side WANTS to kill the hostage.

They will be everywhere in months, and people will defend having them because they're so much better than blah blah blah...
