Re-elected, yes. But over the past year he’s betrayed so many of those who elected him. Yet, most still seem to support him now. That’s what baffles me, somewhat.


Sixty percent isn’t enough, especially considering how many groups he’s abused over the past year. It’s amazing to me that anyone not in on the take still supports him. Amazing, but not surprising. Not anymore.


It often skips a generation, like red hair.


They really need to ban phones for students in grade school.
“But, they need them for safety!”
How the hell did we ever get along without every kid having an internet connected computer in their pocket since forever before they were invented? No, they don’t need them for “safety”.


The Red Pistachio mold plague spread with surprising speed. Horticulturalists were caught flatfooted, but pulled a rabbit out of their hat with the current strain of green pistachios, saving the sector. It was quite a wild ride.
I guess you had to be there.
Remember when they fired the guy from Google because he claimed AI was sentient?


Makes me think the worst of what we’ve heard is not only true, but far from the worst.


Yeah, he made the rounds during his first campaign.
The sleeve is inside out. We’ve all been there.
It’s an underwire top. Same as an underwire bra, but a full top.


I don’t think I’m on the spectrum, but maybe?
Anyway, for the past four years or so, I’ve been eating nearly the same meals every day, and I’m fine with it. I know exactly what I’ll buy for the week’s groceries, and I waste zero food. My trip to the grocery store takes just over one hour every Sunday morning, including driving time. I take the same path through the store, and grab the same items off the shelves each time, and the store is practically empty at that time, so I just slow down to grab the item. However, on the rare occasion I decide to change an ingredient, I can spend a long time trying to decide on a replacement.
Last year, I wanted to stop using packaged picante sauce, which I used for eggs, and as a replacement for ranch salad dressing for about a year previous. The packaged has too much salt, also I’ve been reducing the processed foods I buy. First, I looked for one that had lower salt, and the few they had were too expensive. So, I decided to try to make my own. That meant I had to buy several ingredients I didn’t before. I did it for about six months, but really didn’t like it, and it was more work every Sunday after I got home from shopping. So, instead, I just dropped it altogether. That meant I dropped the salad with chicken, because I couldn’t find a suitable dressing replacement with low salt. So, now I’m down to my hot meal with chicken and vegetables all the time. I thought it would be rough having the hot meal during the summer, but I did it all last summer and it was fine. Also, it’s one less aisle I go down during shopping.


They’re being much more serious about this than when it was “just” about kids. I suppose threatening money and power is what gets you arrested. Similar to the way Epstein was arrested and then murdered by Trump’s order.


They’re still doing the same with a different company. Don’t remember the name.


I’ll take getting older over the alternative every time.
I’m not happy I’m sixty. But, I am happy I’m not dead.


Slightly better than fascist is a very low bar, and most of them aren’t clearing it.
Currently digging up and preserving an old French movie for future generations. It’s slow-going ATM, but I’m making steady progress.
I mean, I paid to access them through Netflix, back when Netflix still sent DVDs through the mail. They were “mine” for the moment.
My body count is well over twenty, but nothing in the past eight years, by choice. I’m 60.
I’m not bragging, my number is pretty low compared to my contemporaries, even the women.
I do wonder about my virgin adult son, though. Not that I’d ever ask, it’s his business, not mine. Also, none of this matters at all. Not seeing pictures of nude women, not having sex. It’s just a nice aside to living life, not important.
