A Kansas City district now includes rural Klan country. Not hyperbole - it truly is Klan country.

Oh, he's a roll today. First, it was "I don't think about Americans’ financial situation." Now, it's a "wonderful process" to draw Black congress members off the map.

"Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation." Only honest thing he's ever said in his life.

“West Wing”’ makes me cry now. U.S. has wasted so many possibilities of being profoundly good.

To media outlets using that crazy-ass AI photo of Eileen Wang - STOP IT! This is what she looks like.

"One approach involves adding alkaline minerals – often crushed or processed rocks like limestone or basalt – to seawater. This reduces acidity and increases the capacity of seawater to absorb more carbon and store it for centuries to come."

Morocco aims to reach 52% renewable energy in its national energy mix by 2030. With more than 3,000 hours of sunshine each year, researchers believe Morocco has strong potential to become a regional leader in floating solar energy.

🤭 A much-needed chuckle.

Happy Mother’s Day! 💕💕💕

2026 World Cup volunteers hit with FIFA frustration “It’s such a struggle. Why does it have to be such a struggle? At this point, if it doesn’t improve, I’m ready to say F you.” Checked out the FB page - omg, what a shitshow.

One of the campaign’s core principles, Shaheed explained, was non-negotiable: climate change had to be framed as a human rights issue. Not a technical environmental problem. Not a distant economic debate. But a question of survival, dignity and justice.

My kids are grown/flown, but I remember when they, too, had painted parking spots. It's difficult enough to be high school and to have parents carry their bigotry into a student's space really just kinda pisses me off. Just leave the kids tf alone and let them be.

Hantavirus, norovirus, falling/getting pushed overboard - oh what fun! 😬

A wonderful article. And a reminder to regularly jump out of the shit vortex of death, destruction & dysfunction that is the daily news.

Male loneliness epidemic explained

More parents caught on to what I did with my kids & credit cards. But an 800 credit score with minimum wage or barely livable income won't get you shit.

I often think of this. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." — John F. Kennedy, March 13, 1962.

A refresher.

It's become totally commonplace. But it's remarkable how quickly it became commonplace that having totally valid immigration/work permit documents just became irrelevant and these people are routinely tossed into detention by ICE.

insanely smug English majors are the only ones who haven’t rotted their brains too much to do investment banking. our time

Diario Red releases all verification methods & recordings of HondurasGate

Audio recordings from the “Hondurasgate” scandal, exclusively released by Canal Red, exposes a US-led plan to destabilize the governments of Mexico and Colombia. The strategy involves a coordinated media disinformation campaign orchestrated from the US and Argentinian presidencies.

I'll take Ted Turner's America's Cup over Larry Ellison's America's Cup any day.

Someone must have seen or heard something.

Key West, out of all places. Hopefully, Pride events will return in the future.

World Cup - as well as summer tourism - might be a bust for hotel industry in at least Kansas City "In Kansas City, 85% to 90% of hotels reported bookings below projections."

🔥Bangkok heat index 125 degrees F.

"Recent survey by the American Psychological Association showed nearly 66% of America’s young people have seriously thought about leaving the country because of the state of the nation. It’s called the 'Don Dash.'" Data charts slow, elegant collapse of American psyche

About that Strait of Hormuz U.S. naval escort service ...

I may be broke, but I’ll never be boat broke. IYKYK. ⛵️ Boat retailer West Marine Inc. is laying the groundwork for a potential Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure its debt, including leases.

America’s roadways are not drivable. It’s like Honduras out here.

Extremely similar to the Trump family & Maga Regime “Kleptocratic wealth and essentially piracy from the people of Iran.”

21 boats were attacked by Israeli naval forces about 80 nautical miles west of Crete in international waters; 179 participants from 33 countries were taken against their will from boats that were damaged by Israeli naval forces and put onto a commercial cargo ship.

Sure throws a gigantic wet blanket on America’s bombastic pronouncements.

Absolute truth! 😂

Gonna be a long couple of weeks for my Teddy. Foot surgery sucks.

Plumbing & other issues must be really, really bad to pull out of an active war & head home.

There is no difference. Absolutely none.

Truly amazing - using brine leftover from desalination plant and treated sewage. Power plant runs 24/7 on nothing but fresh water and seawater

$2 Billion to do studies Budgets are priced so high that they easily could pay for design, long-lead-time materials and initial construction contract awards - instead of just studying shipbuilding.

The amount of "Buy Now, Pay Later" ads that I'm getting is off the charts. FlexPay, ExtendPay, AfterPay, etc. If I didn't have the extra cash to buy whatever it is, the extra cash wouldn't magically appear in 4 easy installments.

AI came for my writing, editing, photography & graphic design, so I became a sailboat captain. So much for that.

IMO is working with on an evacuation plan for seafarers once it's safe to do so. This includes compiling a list of vessels & prioritizing them based on humanitarian needs.   All parties involved in the conflict would need to agree to refrain from attacks on maritime assets during the operation.

The U.S. Navy's Seawolf-Class shortage makes Russia and China smile

Colombian Gold - not the '70s-era weed.

A liveaboard marina & mooring field for sailboats only. As harbormaster, I would help everyone keep their vessels from becoming derelict.

This made me chuckle. 🤭 Blockade does not apply to super-yacht owned by Russian businessman.

First U.S. city running completely out of water - and it's located on the Gulf of Mexico. How/why the city never built its own desalination plants is beyond me.
