Yikes! If you're not having any other obvious symptoms, that's a good sign, but that would freak the hell out of me, too. Maybe just a stress reaction to all the busy change?

Trump is not only lying about the potential for such a deal to bring down diesel costs in US, he's setting Ukraine up to be the villain when his plan inevitably fails. Meanwhile, every dollar the US sends to Russia will go toward killing more Ukrainians. It is a lose-lose for everyone but Putin.

Trump's diesel agreement with Putin accused of contradicting Russia sanctions law
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a searing statement that the U.S. easing sanctions on Moscow "plays into Russia's hands."

Many people here in New England are seriously panicked about how much fuel oil is going to cost this winter and having to choose between heat and food. It's going to be a nightmare.

Not a bad idea
A Twitter post reads: "Today I'm coining a new internet slang term: ai;dr. AI, didn't read. Start using this to reply to comments that are obviously written by AI and watch what happens."

34 years ago today, October 9, 1992, I appeared on "Jeopardy!". I won some lovely parting gifts including: an entire case of Little Debbie snacks, a case of Werthers candies, some hair care products, a George Foreman sandwich press, and a pair of binoculars.

It's *usually* an O2 sensor problem. You might wait a while (like an hour) and try it again to see if you can get it off the side of the road, but you're going to need to get it to a garage. If it won't go, you'll have to call for a tow. Very sorry you have to deal with this today.

The only reason to live stream a death penalty is to desensitize a wide swath of your followers and to present those in detention as subhuman deserving of death, as a way to take the next step in the concentration camps you've built.

When you're at the point of saying "I can do what I want, when I want", you're either a dictator or a toddler. Or, in his case, both.

As someone who was growing up in the decade between TOS and TMP, when we didn't think it would ever come back, I can say that has worked in the past and could work again.

Mine didn't know much except what I buy at Whole Foods (which is only a couple of things) and where I live. I often find these "they know everything about you" stories to be a bit sensationalist.
