They already barely pay their troops enough to live on - it's absolutely outrageous.

You have really pretty chickens! What breeds are they? I'm sorry to say that I'm worfully uneducated on chicken breeds. But I do like chickens.

A Night Off With Chickens I’ve had lots of travel and lots of travel delays in the last week, so I’m going to take a night off now that I’m safely back home, and get a little extra sleep.

Apparently, the judges weren't impressed by his credentials. I love seeing kind of pushback to the regime from the judiciary!

Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social

...and good riddance. Honestly, some people just cannot cope with reality. It amazes me that they're able to function as adults - that's clearly a design fault in the human species. We'd be better off if wilful ignorance and stupidity were more lethal than war.

My friend Rick was over here from Manchester, staying in my spare room, last week. Rick didn’t leave his home city for the first time until 2022 and didn’t even know what a donkey was until 2019, when he was 58, but now that he’s been to Devon, where I live, a few times, the pollution-coated twat thinks he’s William W***ing Wordsworth. β€œSlow and dreamy, the cow is the tortoise of the field,” he announced to me pompously on Friday. I didn’t reply, as I dislike confrontation, but the dude was talking utter shit. When properly motivated, British cattle can move at speeds of up to 65mph, as can be witnessed in our annual village Milk Race. Here a herd of Jerseys are challenged, over 18 miles of varied terrain, to beat a quad bike, normally driven by Sue who runs the post office, and Bill, a former Olympic runner who lives in the old mill. As usual, this year the Jerseys came out on top, leaving Bill (far right, in his customary Parisian designer denim) pathetically wheezing and crooked, although as you can see some of the herd’s progress has been impeded by their investigation of the cottage to the right, having heard the distracting opening bars of Paula Abdul’s 1988 hit β€˜Straight Up’ coming from an open window.

I have now lived in the British countryside for most of my five decades on earth, within which time I have come to know it well. I thought, for newcomers to the place, I'd write a short guide to some of its more interesting aspects. You will find them in this thread.

The Iran War strategy is in the queue right behind the health-care plan, which will be unveiled at the end of infrastructure week

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.

But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?

They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris will advance to the April 7th runoff to decide who will replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia, per AP.

Time to flip this seat Blue!

Romney tried, very clumsily, to play up his local cred in New Hampshire in 2012 by talking about his Wolfeboro lake house. Wolfeboro flipped from Trump to Kamala in 2024 and just delivered a Trumpx3 state House seat for us by outvoting its Republican neighbors
