If we could just sentence him for one year per count, I'd be happy.

All these rich families seem to have one thing in common, bad fathers who raise even worse sons. 😕

I'm almost 74 and one of the most astonishing things I've learned lately is that one can, apparently, ferment an insurrection witnessed by millions, to overturn the legitimately elected government and not only get off scot-free, but be reelected.

It was just a poster I got when I was young but still one of my favorites.

AI is a way to give the wealthy access to expertise while preventing the experts to have access to wealth.

Smells like a bot. A lot of RW BS. Deserves a block. Which I just gave it.

I wish I had a representative like you to vote for, someone who does it for the service, not the self service.

The upcoming (and elapsed) midterm primary election dates (depending on where in the U.S.A. you live):

I watched it again last fall and I'm always amazed at how great the cast was. I watched Halt And Catch Fire again last week, excellent casting there too.

If this was intended to disorient the viewer it succeeded.

😂😆

Got the old Atlas out, I see. Your pasta looks perfect, and now I'm inspired to make some homemade egg noodles.

Donald Trump thinks if he says things “very strongly” he will get his way. Unfortunately he has a lifetime of experience that proves him correct. Once again, elite impunity is the number one threat to our wellbeing and survival.

Here comes Gundlach.

😳 uh-oh. 😬

I think Senile Satan enjoys emasculating his cabinet. He loves making other people feel small bc it's one thing that makes him feel big and powerful. What a petty jackass he is.

North Carolina is home to about 100,000 service members. Here's how they're affected by the Iran War So far, only a small percentage of troops from North Carolina have been involved in the Middle East fighting.

Oh, so many

I need to get by there to get some plant pots. They usually have some beautiful ones at a great price.

A bit overcast but unseasonably warm. Supposed to hit 87⁰ today. The high tomorrow is predicted to be 71⁰ at 5AM, and then decline to the low 40s by the end of the day. That's a NC spring for ya.🙄

Oooo. Can't beat that! 😋

Hubs just said, "Hot diggity dog!" 😂

I just blocked him.

Of this I have no doubt. It's the profits over people principal.

I meant no criticism of you or anyone else. Of course people must do whatever they can to lower their cost. But it's inevitable that adding another middle man will drive up prices. I hate that this is where we all are in this country. Wishing the best to you and your fur babies.

Oh. I'm sorry. When corporations buy up small businesses and doctor practices it never works out well for the consumers/patients. I just hate this for the country 😔

Unfortunately pet health insurance will end up driving up the cost, much as human insurance has. That, plus corporate consolidation and private equity buy outs will continue to make it more expensive to have a pet. Everything that is wrong with this country boils down to one thing. Greed.
