While at COP30 don't be fooled by the nuclear promoters!
The Fed's failure to secure California's (or anybody's) nuclear waste is because the task cannot be done safely at ANY price (so we need to stop making more).

My wife and I biked to the C'bad No Kings rally and rode past most of it at one point. I think that's a good estimate of the # of people. The picture on the left was taken early on; over the next hour PCH got A LOT busier (same intersection)!
Totally peaceful of course (tell Mike Johnson!).

I wish you were right. But after fighting throughout WWII, the biggest war in history, Eisenhower was beyond horrified by the crimes he found at the concentration camps. It was beyond words. Have you cloistered yourself from the images of returning Ukraine POWs? & Putin has plenty of Polonium-210.

YES on 50 and YES Gavin Newsom is what we need right now!
Okay, so I don't like him either, for all the reasons this guy listed AND that Newsom is keeping Diablo Canyon Nuclear Waste Generating Station & Meltdown Risk open. It should have shut down completely by now.
But THANK YOU GOV. NEWSOM!!!

Up and down the SoCal coast No Kings protests were packed and peaceful!
(When I took this photo, half a dozen cops were standing to my right, no riot gear, no helmets, no billy-clubs... and nothing to do but watch.)

Have you seen Trump's new idea for a giant monument to himself, apparently modeled after the Arc-de-Triomphe in Paris? Unfortunately most photos of the model of Trump's "Arc-de-Trump" aren't close-ups but I found one showing the planned sculptures for the top for the Arc so here it is!

Meanwhile Trump wants yet another monument to him, this time a gigantic marble arch.
I suggest this will be perfect to top it off...

During WWII my uncle, who was the first person to mold plexiglass, made the plexiglass canopies for the P-51 Mustangs in a secret underground factory in PUERTO RICO.
The plane the changed the course of the war -- because of the canopy. My uncle didn't design it, but PR (a part of the USA) built it!

Then my guess is he bought it himself to make him look important -- and to increase the value of all his other doodles.
But this recently revealed sketch: I can't understand why he won't take credit for it! It might be worth more than a Banksy (in his dreams).
It might put him in jail (in ours).

Manipulating facts with a Sharpie is Trump's only skill (besides duping ignorant cult followers).

I thought this important enough to screen capture the Google translation of some key sections...this goes to show that America's standing in the world has gone from something reasonably good or better, to pretty close to zero where N. Korea, China, Russia etc. are.
And dropping daily, thx to Trump.

Yes, it has a very powerful language, great for interactive things. I probably only use about 10% of what it can do!
Currently I'm working on an interactive item with about a hundred different animations. Some, just for fun, are interactive simulations of old calculating devices (see image) :)

I did that in the 1980s (but used it mainly for animated educational tutorials, not games).
Over 1,000 fps! Originally 4 colors, then 256. MS-DOS; MASM; ~100,000 lines of Assembler code. Originally released on 5.25" floppies! (Thankfully, I've been using Flash/Animate for about 30 years now...)

Trump:
Is running the jailhouse & the police force but is a 34X convicted felon himself.
Is in charge of the financial well-being of the country but his "expertise" is in cheating others & going bankrupt.
Is unstable, uneducated, egotistical, paranoid, racist, misogynistic, dishonest & rude.
