Different audience. MAGA implicitly gets the kayfabe and enjoys it.

The folks in my life who vote without talking about it all want blood. They are tired of lies and will not show up for half-measures. Listen to your grandma.

Disowning the plan weakens its implementation.

Lay out a book on how to never let his happen ever again, beat the drum of Punish Evil, and the voters will turn out in multitudes for a Third Reconstruction.

Dude is dressed to the nines but has weak tie skills. Thankfully he's 15 and has time to improve!

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

3/ One of the two panels described how a million African-Americans volunteered for service during World War II, but had to fight against both the enemy and racism on their own side, including segregation within the army itself that confined many to supporting roles.

Thanks, counties and cities in North Texas. We fucking hate redlining and are still waiting on that DART expansion promised 20 years ago.

You've got a roof over you head and are not holding the bag on NVDA when it falls. Win/win, Blue.

NVDA performance in the past year. Notably, the stock went on a bull run May->August and has stalled since. November 2024-> May 2025 the stock gradually declined, eating into the year-over-year performance. Since September, the stock's performance is more erratic and is off from a late Octoberish peak.

NVDA has 13.4% of the Nasdaq 100 market weight. 7.5% of S&P 500.

Zoomed out to the past year, NVDA is only up 25%, much lower than the 50%+ May->September bull run offered.

PSA:
If you click on an ad to make a purchase online, your odds go up that you're engaging with a fraudster. Two recent events in our household to point to:
(1) Instagram ad
(2) Google ad

The scammers are getting good at replicating rich websites of legit merchants.

I was a swimmer in school. Post-puberty, a lot of the female swimmers hate the muscle mass and quit swimming because of it. Several I knew groaned over how many years it takes to lose *that much bulk*.

Your build is fine, Sage. The hormones will stake care of the rest. πŸ™‚

From a personal perspective: I’m not an expert, but HRT will def up your body’s storage of fat, probably in new places. If anything, not having to lose big shoulder muscles will be nice, too.

From a build perspective: that’s a very lean, light muscle body weight for your [friend’s] height.

You will probably need 10 or 15 lbs of mass to leave the twink area of the Venn diagram.

There are also issues at the regional ATC centers. These don’t have big towers like airports. They handle all flights after departure from an airport to maintain safe distance between aircraft.

Traffic in the Florida ATC zone is heavily delayed.
