Too bad Mitt wasn't saying these things as a presidential candidate.

Thank god they’ll only be able to name one of them the USS Donnie John Trump.

Yet another example of media complicity in the erosion of rights, especially a woman’s right to bodily autonomy.

Be it trains, commuter trains, or subways, the Japanese rail system is a marvel. They are clean, convenient, quiet, relatively inexpensive, and most of all, they run on time. When the schedule says a particular time, say 11:30, the train will start rolling out at precisely 11:30:00.

Is it just coincidental that Jared Kushner is helping the Ellisons in a hostile bid for Warner? France Télévisions talking about the bid for Warner, which includes CNN: What we’re seeing is the same thing as in Russia. Leading up to Putin’s rise in power, the oligarchs seized control of the media.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar. There are so many to choose from, but this gem is a perennial favorite.

This is absolutely fascinating. How Google Maps affects restaurants, and how its ranking algorithm affects the physical world.

RFK Jr's campaign to kill as many Americans as possible is starting to bear fruit.

A French political analyst compared the US-EU relationship to a couple with an abusive husband. Europe is a frightened wife who’s waiting and watching for signs. So far he (Trump) has only slapped her around a little, but she knows that it can and will get worse.

Physics is cool.

So Witkoff and Kushner are negotiating an Ukraine “peace deal” with the Russians, not SoS Rubio. Sounds more like they’re negotiating the sale of Eastern Europe to Putin with proceeds going to Trump’s family and friends. Once again, it’s all about the grift.

Trump is already rolling back sanctions against Russia before they were even fully implemented. There are also French news reports that the Russian drones tailed Zelensky’s flight to Ireland. Either Putin has Trump by the balls our Russian agents have infiltrated the US government. Or both.

The Vance-Thiel-Musk-Yarvin wet dream of a fractured fascist Europe dominated by Russia set forth as official US policy.

So according the new US Nationl Security Strategy for Europe they want to strengthen right-wing radical parties and Russia in order to dump their poisoned goods on the continent while deforming our values and ideologies of freedom, liberalism and democracy and keeping adversaries out to dominate.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. May your turkey be moist, your favorite side abundant, your dessert delectable, and your conversations pleasant. I’m hosting at my house this year 😂

We put our Christmas tree up last weekend while our daughter was visiting. It was nice to have an extra pair of hands.

Table is set and ready for food and drink. Sweet potato tartlets, pumpkin cheesecake, roasted garlic (for the brown butter mashed potatoes) are all made.

I'll start dressing like they did in the 50's when airlines offer the cabin space they had in the 50's.
