Day 433 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I also play "Iron Chef: Granny Edition" when I am at my daughter's, trying to use up ingredients in their freezer or pantry that they don't want to waste, but aren't sure how to make tasty- it's a fun game. Rhubarb barbecue sauce & venison curry for ex.
Day 432 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): Over spring break I will visit our daughter, & one of my key roles (after grandma) is to repair garments & household items that have broken; they are frugal too, but don't have as many skills with tricky stuff, so they save me the challenging projects
America’s top doctor shouldn’t be someone who peddles junk science to get rich off a grift.
Casey Means can’t even practice medicine.
I will vote NO on her confirmation.

Update on Minnesota. Please help our people. There are still people sheltering in place. Rent was due on 3/1 and may do not have it. They need food and supplies and rent assistance. My friend @electroboyusa.bsky.social has been sharing a gofundme for them.
Day 431 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): Frugal types show their grit by how long they keep using an anti-persp. stick. I'm in the middle: willing to persist until the plastic ribs start to grate on my pits, but not keen on scraping out the contents to apply by hand 😅
Aaagg! They are WIGWAM socks - I really wanted to give credit where it was due. Next time I am buying new socks, I'm buying these: www.wigwam.com/collections/...

His name is Emmanuel Damas, 56, & ICE KILLED HIM by ignoring his pleas for medical attention in detention for weeks!
He died of a fkin tooth infection!
The infection caused septic shock & pneumonia.
Call Congress: 202-224-3121 & condemn the systemic neglect in these ICE torture mills.

This "meeting" was re the finances of college sports and pay for college athletes.
Trump is saying college sports financials are more important than Russia helping Iran target our soldiers – and Trump is brushing off the question – calling it "stupid". Trump is helping Russia and Iran.
Dagens US: Huge loss for US Army, $500m missile defense radar obliterated in Iranian strike.
If we have $500 Million dollars to waste on an illegal war, we have money to feed hungry school kids.

Newly released videos of the DHS murder of Ruben Ray Martinez show the agent who they claim he ran over arresting Orta and walking without any visible injury or limp.
Ruben Ray Martinez just turned 23 when Trump's Homeland Security thug, Jack Stevens, shot & killed him on March 15, 2025.
SpongeBob memes and video game edits hyping their illegal war in Iran, tells us just how seriously the White House takes decisions of war and peace.
This isn’t Call of Duty. It isn’t a game or a meme.
Real people are dying, including innocent children and American soldiers.
Day 430 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): So to get the needed stuff sack, I ended up at REI, land of temptation (esp. on the cusp of a trip) & I passed the test! Everything there either looked gadgety, overpriced, or a thing I have a functioning version of. I walked out w/ only a stuff sack!
Day 429 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I have needed to buy a few bits of new technical gear for my trip that I couldn't find second-hand, like a replacement compression stuff sack for my sleeping bag - I lack the time (& it's really not worth the effort) to make one

Capitol Hunters confirms Platner lied about why he could not get back into the Marines in 2009. It was because of his Nazi/antisemitic tattoo. He blamed Marine policy barring sleeve tattoos, but Marine policy grandfathered sleeve tattoos. It barred symbols of hate, which is what the Totenkopf is.
It’s up to all of us to document what's happening in our communities so we can demand accountability for ICE's abuses.
We have your questions about the right to record federal agents answered.
"As a cisgender, white, bisexual second son of a viscount, and as a gentleman landowner of multiple estates on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Celts and Saxons, I don’t see race."

Another terrible monthly jobs report for the Trump Administration and they don’t have a pandemic to blame it on.
92,000 jobs lost in February. One has to wonder how much worse it really is?
Day 428 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I appreciate the rare products that really last, like my 7+ y/o thin black Columbia wool socks that remain hole-free despite weekly use (vs a Ballston pair 18 mo. old already w/ one). Perhaps it's lucky I can't find more; I might be very tempted to buy!
NBC: two firms handpicked by Noem, People Who Think and Safe America Media, were not only given a $220 million contact for her videos, but also a $100 million no bid contract to recruit 10k ICE officers, even though there were less expensive option.

One hundred and sixty-five children were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on their elementary school. This is an aerial image of the graves being prepared for their bodies.
I defy anyone to justify this.
Day 427 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I just threw out two recently expired coupons from two different grocery stores, simply because I hadn't found a good reason in the last 2 weeks to spend $100 to save $10 or $15. That's how few groceries/household supplies we are buying these days
