Funny meme, but the photo captures a man lacking empathy and compassion. Consistent from the quote in the Bolton Book "The Room Where It Happened", when Trump laments the World Trade Towers could have been re-built for less than the cost of the war in Afghanistan. No right, no wrong, just $$$.

Scottish Terrier camouflage.

If you choose to or need to use tax prep software, avoid Intuit TurboTax who lobbies for and survives on corporate welfare and has many tricks to ensnare people after the promise of a free return.

Goon attack is in the courts. [Goon] said he "could feel it through his ballistic vest" and it "exploded all over" him ... said he "could smell the onions and mustard" on his uniform, and even had an onion string hanging by his police radio later that night. www.reddit.com/r/washington...

This is an excellent idea!!!

Wise words.

Urgent need for a new term for choosing to watch entertainment. There is no more "tuning in", it's all streaming. "Stay tuned" is in a similar predicament.

People question my lack of swimming skills which are primitive to say the least. I point out the less skilled I am, the more calories I burn in an hour. Think about it, who burns more calories than a drowning man?

Uncle Sam and Aunt Tifa are an awesome couple.

Experience with the US healthcare system, which I avoid at all costs: Easy to get in, hard to get out. Service degrades drastically after you are 'in' the system. Payment secured upfront, discharge only after reconfirming financial obligation. Guard up for doctors who are incentivized by Big Pharma.

Urban turkeys spotted on way home from swimming this morning. Biggest flock I have seen yet.

Asking ChatGPT how to stop the erosion of our democracy in the USA: ✅ Fix #1 — Stop politicians from choosing their voters → Independent redistricting (end gerrymandering) ✅ Fix #2 — Change how we vote → Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) ✅ Fix #3 — End the primary stranglehold → Open primaries

Donald Trump: Best in Show

According to Scott Galloway (Prof G), there are now more security contractors in the US than high school teachers. Driven by the growing inequality gap, the rich are arming up to protect their goods and themselves against an angry populous. Exposing the ugly sides of greed & unbridled capitalism.

Awesome segment on the scam known as Medicare Advantage.

When my son was born, I would write down funny things he said, and later put together a photo book of the stories, illustrated by a friend. Very fun to go back and read.

Studies have shown that political violence is greatest in right-wing and far-right circles,... two groups in particular stand out: white evangelicals and MAGA followers. The study USED to appear on the Dept of Justice website. Now removed, here is a link. cdn.thejournal.ie/media/2025/0...

The Nobel Committee was not fooled this year, when one blushing hopeful tried to squeeze his plea in between deploying military needlessly at home and foreplay on an invasion fantasy he has had at least since 2018.

Caddyshack vibes.

Playing with ChatGPT to understand how volume spacers affect the spring forces and travel of a mountain bike fork. First 'answer' was garbage, only after having enough insight to spot errors can your force the 'AI' back to a more realistic answer. Most wont have the info, and so AI will mislead.

I'm Fuehrer-ous about wannbe kings.

No mention of "No Kings' protest in Boise by two of three local news websites. There I am!

Look at these goons, the look in their eyes, the way they are dressed/armed, pointing weapons at US citizens. These guy think they are in a war. Who the hell are they and what's wrong with them? www.reuters.com/resizer/v2/Q...

Reading John Bolton's "The Room Where It Happened". Page 225, Kelly tells in 2018 that "He [Trump] says it would be 'cool' to invade Venezuela." 7 years later, look at what's going on. The wannbe king is insane. www.amazon.com/Room-Where-H...

Trump testing the reaction to declaring an insurrection. He's got solders in the street with some pushback holding. He is laying the groundwork for the Insurrection Act to be imposed, negating the Posse Comitatus Act, which prevents US military use at home. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Excellent interview with Anthony Scaramucci. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbBC...

Checking state exchange insurance options for 2026. Family of 2, I can get insurance with almost $20,000 deductible for only $12,000 per year. That is, insurance collects $12,000 to be on standby if I incur charges over $20,000. Reminds me of a song. #jessewelles www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_sw...

As Scott Galloway said [paraphrasing], "the Internet exists to turn you upside down, find you at your most vulnerable, and shake the money from your pockets". Be aware and hang on.

When you go to do your job, and part of that job entails setting up a perimeter to threaten death and use of chemical weapons on the public citizens opposing what you are doing, you are on the wrong side of humanity., you are a goon. Don't be a goon.

When I was growing up, car ads had technical cutaway drawings showing the advances in suspensions, balanced vehicle weight, engine advances, etc. Today, the ads focus on cell phone integration apps and touch screen size. I'll take the prior any day.

H1-B visa has been abused by employers for decades. It isn't about highly skilled workers but lower paid workers at the same skill level. If it's truly about skill level, invest in your existing workers and/or raise wages. Tech wages have been comparatively stagnant. apnews.com/article/immi...

Come on Democrats, time to dig in.

Come on, how can you be aware of what he's telling us, and in the future think you will be able to say "I had no idea we were headed here."? "Donald Trump ... floated the idea of using deployments to U.S. cities as "as training grounds for our military."". www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Using DuckDuckGo to search for an image to use in a snarky comment, it nailed it with the FoxNews image.

Very cool discovery. www.reuters.com/science/anci...

Trump insults Biden by putting a photo of an autopen in place of Bidens photo on wall of US presidents. Next president needs to follow suite and replace trump's photo with a giant bunghole.

Making paneer to added to some pre-packaged Sukhi's Indian food entrees.

Sincere effort to listen to the POS President address the UN. I can't take it, what a lowlife, trying to blow his own horn while insulting everyone else. To the rest of the world: WE ARE SORRY. He always wants to be the biggest, well he is the biggest POS I have seen in my lifetime.
