If Dems or Act Blue included a check box that prevented the donor's email and phone from EVER being shared, Dem donations would soar.

A bright, successful friend with a Harvard PhD clicked on a convincing but fake Google Meet link a month ago and lost her entire Google Account for a min of 30 days--the severity of the hack was that bad. Her IT consultant said 3 other clients had same hack that week. 'Most sophisticated' he'd seen.

Nixon was at 25% before the GOP escorted him out. That’s where we’re headed—however slowly.

It looks like incredibly accurate intelligence, highly sophisticated weapons, EU funding and a daring military that remains unbowed.

‘Bases.’ The general public probably imagines bases that are far more substantial than what existed/exists. In any event, speculative fiction never pictured the end of oil happening like this.

Human Banner SF organizes large protest formations on Ocean Beach every few months, usually on a Saturday morning. The prep takes a few hours, once formed, the protest lasts for 30+ minutes--long enough to get great drone footage for the media. humanbanner-sf.com @humanbanner-sf.bsky.social

"He's polling where Nixon polled--25%." That's the quote that will see the GOP walk him to the door. Fuel shortages will do it.

The Kennedy Center played a vital role in establishing our identity as a country loves the arts. No matter what he does to the building, he will never dim that love. After he bowls the Kennedy center, he'll turn his sights to the Lincoln Memorial or the Smithsonian.

Jack and Jackie would surely advise us to stay standing, stay stalwart. It's a building that memorializes their love for the arts, and their love is part of our culture now. He can never take that away from us or them.

His supporters don't fly his flag in their yards, or on their RVs. They don't wear his name on their hats on their shirts. They quietly switched to America 250 gear, but even then, his dictator branding is not as pervasive in rural America as it was 7 years ago, or 2 years ago.

If we had a decent fourth estate, a journalist might interview former US/UK military who 'trained' KSA and UAE forces over the past 6-8 decades.

Ditto for employers. Job applicants spew paragraphs (!?) of fawning nonsense about my career--which isn't all online so the gross fawning isn't even accurate. Then, a few months ago, AI took over spamming, and now I get at least ten personalized offers for 'business funding' every day. Ugh.

Having been erroneously flagged by AI interpretations after my annual visit convo with my GP, I've since learned to ask her to turn it off if I want to speak freely-or make a joke. The 'asylum' literally rang me a few weeks after that visit, without my GP's knowledge, and asked if I wanted care.

Not sure what America 250 people think, but he's getting closer to Nixon's 25% rate which is where the GOP might force him out.

Iran (and her friends) are taking control of vital oil production lanes after a century of US/UK oil domination. Is there a taco which would dissuade that group from completing their quest?

Imagine being his 20 or 18 year old sons and wincing as your (way) past-his-due-by-date dad jumps onto global stages to yammer on about what Gen Z men need. He's a terrible dad, and an embarrassment to boomer men everywhere.

24% is the magic number. Watch Republican senators discover their spines as it drip, drip, drips down to that number. (Reminder that 24% of US voters is still a huge number of supporters and those supporters were quite vocal when Nixon was forced out. Prepare accordingly).

A month ago, Claude produced complicated, fillable PDF response forms for our office. Yesterday, after 2 hours of Claude failing to produce a correct form, I gave up. In related news, Chat told BIL that SPCX wasn't public-- maintained that stance for hours, even w 2 legit news article updates.

My BIL asked Chat about buying SpaceX stock and it said that it would be a great idea--if SpaceX were a publicly traded company. BIL, a scientist, sent Chat several MSM articles about the IPO. Chat was adament: 'SpaceX is a private company.' Chat needed 7 hours to update its opinion.

Two shifts in that aftermath, though. One, Ukraine's drone production has seemingly soared, both in quantity and sophistication. Two, Ukraine's targeting expertise seems better in the last 6 months. Are NATO and the EU providing better intelligence than the US provided?
