"The Reagan Economic Forum", otherwise known as a symposium on how to piss on the American people and convince them it's raining.

It's mind boggling that I managed to live for 70 years without Ai in my life. And now that it is? It's useless, untrustworthy, and ridiculously expensive.

This Speaks for me and Stella perfectly.

Tuesday morning thoughts: https://half-witted.com/2026/06/02/tuesday-morning-thoughts.html

The reason Trump keeps getting shot down in court is that he’s represented by corrupt and incompetent lawyers. No decent lawyer will work for him so he has to resort to scraping from the bottom of the law school barrel.

Never forget this guy wanted the Epstein Files released....other than that he preyed on the weak

Just know everyone is safe here and I do mean everyone🩷💛💚❤️

The Trump Library's annual Profiles in Corruption Award dinners are gonna be lit!

As the oligarchs continue to gain ground we can expect increased opacity in government operations. Even the most benign actions will be hidden from the public. No one in the federal government currently can honestly be called a public servant. Transparency is their enemy.

The Afternoon Tea-Baggers regret to inform the president that they will not be able to perform at the Freedom 250 concert.

Let’s help bring down the national debt by selling some of the Southern states that are a drain on our economy back to the countries we got them from. Mexico, we’ll give you a good deal on Texas. Spain, Florida is yours again. And Louisiana, learn to speak French.

In so many ways Japanese culture is far superior to what we call culture here.

I love koi. They’re amazingly beautiful fish. I’m not convinced they’re worth the price of a Bentley for the most lovely of them. I’ve had a lot of aquarium fish before, but this house is the first place I’ve dealt with pond fish.

From now on every president must accept their annual salary and will be barred from earning money from any other source.

If no Democrats participate in Trump’s birthday bash on the South lawn, couldn’t it be shown to be a politically partisan event, in which case members of the military who appear in uniform (which the invitation stipulates) will be violating the UCMJ?

All those photos of Trump dozing off reminds me of something…what is it? Oh yeah.

The extra judicial killings that Trump has orchestrated at sea, resulting in little more than universal disapproval, prove that there is no effect international law enforcement that could subpoena and arrest an international criminal like Trump and Hegseth. We used to be the world's police. Not now.

I was born in America. I was born a white person. I was born male. I was born in 1954 and am a boomer. I had no control over any of that. So if you judge me based on those factors, fuck you. You’re welcome to judge my opinions, my philosophy, my character, because I am responsible for those.

If it was not for the VA I would be homeless, no question about it. It’s the greatest benefit that my military service has delivered to me. I’m grateful for the G.I. Bill, but I could have lived decently without a college education. I can’t say the same for the VA hospital.

Rents, food prices, gas prices, medical costs for us and even our pets, all increasing with no end in sight. And what don’t the oligarchs have to worry about? Rent, food prices, gas prices, and medical prices. That’s how capitalism works. The rich own and control all the things the poor need.

How dumb do you have to be to join MAGA? Well…

I firmly believe adults of any age should still engage in play within our physical limitations...no dodgeball for me, or limbo. We can't let our imaginations and playfullnes disappear. Even board games or legos count.

If you do not understand by now that this vile edifice has nothing to do with dancing and everything to do with the imposition of martial law in Washington, I don't know what to tell you except that it's time to put the Berenstain Bears books aside and start reading history books

Great questions that MSM may want to follow up on.

The next time you encounter someone condemning Islam, ask them to define the difference between Islam and sikhism. If they can't, they aren't opposed to Islam, they're just racists.

How in the hell can so many people afford tattoos, some quite elaborate, in this economy? I have nothing against tattoos but I know how expensive they can be.

I’m disappointed to find that being consumed by hate doesn’t immediately cause irreparable damage to the human body.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth. I'm choosing my photo of an American crow. It's the best shot I've ever gotten of these beautiful corvids. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

The erosion of our right to free speech is especially disturbing in the internet age. Because the internet provides so many opportunities to speak our mind the suppression will have to be egregious.

Have I been in a coma since the 1970s? Because I don’t remember any other president staging such a major production for his birthday. This is what happens when a washed up reality TV host gets a little power and all our money.

I can’t think of any agency within the federal government that hasn’t been compromised and corrupted. Every federal agency and those who work in them have pledged allegiance to Trump, not to the country or Constitution. America no longer exists in its previous form.

Some good news on the medical front.. Pancreatic cancer halted by virus injection in three patients.. www.newscientist.com/article/2528...

Any business or government agency that employs Ai at its current state, with its warnings of potentially wrong answers and hallucination, is playing with fire. Ai is no more trustworthy than a drunk at the wheel of a car. Ai and Trump have a great deal in common.

Can’t let the team know about a problem if the problem is that their profile plus others aren’t opening. #blueskyteam

I believe those electric unicycles are the grandkids of Segways.

I almost never get bored when I’m by myself. I can spend hours reading, working on a project, listening to music, or just being in my own head. But put me in a room full of people, and somehow that’s when boredom shows up

Arroz con pollo, delish.

Here’s another word that all of us use but I wonder how many of us can precisely define. Expert.

Interesting question came up yesterday. What do you count as morning, afternoon, and evening? Like I consider morning 12.01am to noon, noon to 5pm as afternoon, and 5pm to midnight as evening.

Trump has referred to the war with Venezuela. We're at war with Venezuela? Were we informed of this? Was Congress? What next, war with Greenland?

“In effect, today’s corporations and wealthy are hoarding the society’s resources for themselves, while starving the treasury of funds that are badly needed for repairing and strengthening the society on which their wealth depends.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

God is a concept. Faith is adherence to that concept. Religion is the defining of that concept.

We know Trump’s insane. And in a normal universe we’d remove him with the help of Congress. But it’s the complicity of Congress and the SCOTUS, and a large part of the military as well, that makes deposing the king such a daunting task. They’re united, we have to be, too.

@thegreybox.bsky.social I’ll follow anyone who quotes Robert G. Ingersoll. 👍

When Ai starts generating new stories Trump will finally be justified in crying, “fake news”.

It’s too bad Michael Parenti died this year. His was a voice we need. I didn’t agree with him about Marxism but he spoke strongly about the corruption of our republic and called out the guilty.

Spanberger, what the fuck are you doing? Your first few days in office reflected a progressive, pro-rights agenda. Then something went sideways and now you’re vetoing bills that protect collective bargaining rights, legalize marijuana, and protect voters. Are you another Fetterman or Tim Kane?
