Really? They seem very happy to deny wedding cakes to LGBTQ couples, still make nasty comments about the abilities of all Blacks, Latinos, women, you all those "DEI" folks with whom they don't want to hire or use as suppliers? Good conservative values.

With prompt care a miscarriage is a terrifying and heartbreaking event. Having the government up the risks so that 54% require transfusions, an unnecessary draw on blood banks, is unconscionable!

Texas must stop playing dice with lives!

It was only a matter of time before The Hyperbole Regime would start demanding fake data to support itself.
So here we are. The Regime's stock and trade lies in its magic to causing everyone else to think lying is normal. Nothing is real.

We're gutting NASA science missions while putting a reactor on the moon and laughing one (or two) new space stations.

How do they think we learned the science needed to pursue human flight?

Not posting on the horror show formerly known as Twitter is a crime?

Most folks on BlueSky need to put our hands on the wall & take the position. We're in the conspiracy! Poor Musk!

Now the US can have statistics that are as unreliable as the ones from China, Russia, and North Korea, to name a few places where the nimbers are not the numbers. It won't matter where Fed sets rstes, the US will pay a hefty premium for numbers that are not trustworthy that will last for decades.

Not what I usually share, but my fellow managers, especially those of you went from school to school to IN CHARGE!
If you do nothing else, say THANK YOU to people who help. ESPECIALLY YOUR PEOPLE! Know the janitor's name & ask about his kid's soccer. Be helpful & kind.

Finally! Tomatoes! Mine dropped every flower three weeks ago when the weather shot up in Baltimore.

Sunflowers at night by my basement door and the first blooms on my rose-of-sharon.

$9 bill a company doesn't need for investments in research, IT, improved compensation, better office coffee? Nothing. So send it away to shareholders and exec compensation. Where did you think execstock came from? Certainly not needed to hold premiums down for insureds!

Listen to @theradr.bsky.social !
These kids can't wait 59 days for anyone to atone for letting them starve.

Sins against other humans are fixed with action, not prayers for forgiveness.

Yom Kippur is now!

Yom Kippur is now! from @theradr.bsky.social.com
"in 59 days we will, what? Stand before God and ask God to forgive us?
Forgive us for –
For the children we have let die of hunger out of –
Can you stand before God and tell God coherent reasons why we let children die of hunger?
Can you give one now?

McDonald's money? What was that?

I think my parents put mulriple syllables in my "government name" so that when they used it would ring through the neighborhood.

Economists are not accountants. Accounting is not a required course in economics, unless you are an econ major in a business school.

Economic theory and accounting theory are worlds apart in what they consider important.

My BS is in Econ and I'm a CPA. Trust me, they are very different.

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary.

Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

I am so very sorry...

My mother was in her early 20s, a daughter of immigrants. She told me what happened to citizens of Japanese ancestry when I was in elementary school. She taught me to love what America can be, and sometimes is, but not to have illusions about how it can go bad. Again.
