A little bit of this, a little bit of that

Passionate about flying, fencing, the outdoors
Still working on this.
I think the biggest challenge in life is how to cook the perfect poached egg

I want to show you all the great pictures I took flying today, but I was having too much fun and didn’t take any

All that the Epstein files will do is prove Trump correct.

He could shoot someone in the face in the middle of fifth avenue, and his sycophants would still support him

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack.

So everybody understands that ICE = Sturmabteilung, right?

Why have I just found out now about bonus Canadian Tire money offers that you have to activate in the app?

Went to buy 4 things. Three had bonus offers.

$0.36 regular CT earn
$5.60 bonus CT money

Crazy.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats.

The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

I’m surprised it was that much. You could probably bribe Giuliani with a bottle of Grecian formula
Honest to God, Tom Homan for sale for $50k and were surprised?

They defunded public broadcasting and replaced it with state media
I can't understate how bizarre it is, to have an "independent" political commentary/news show, in the aftermath of their host's death, just hand the show over to the administration. Have it hosted from the White House, by the Vice President, with various administration officials as guests.

I’m curious.

For the “ think of his wife and children crowd”

Did you express that level of sympathy for Melissa Hortman’s children? Victims of other shootings? The multitudes of orphans in Palestine?

Or is it just reserved for Kirk and his ilk?

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

This point is NOT being made enough.
As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle
Q: Would you welcome federal resources going into a part of South Carolina with a high crime rate?

This is not the "first evidence" of the "Use it or Lose it" principle.

There's lots of research into people losing their ability to read maps and navigate after GPS came out.
