Today's pet peeve. An acronym is a specific type of abbreviation(an initialism is another type). By using acronym for all of them, you obliterate its meaning. (Source link in alt-txt)
"Explore the difference between abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms. An abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or phrase used to simplify writing and communication, it’s also the umbrella term that includes initialisms (like FBI) and acronyms (like NASA). This article explains how each type works. Learn how to recognize, create, and apply them effectively."

It's a good day to pick a few flowers before they all fade. #NotAloneTalk Still can't post alt text on iphone. Picture shows a flower pot with a mixture of zinnias and small sunflowers. Colors are red, orange, pink and yellow.

I may look online for "how to make your own HobNobs" recipes first. 😆 Or wait for a special occasion.

I want ice cream so much right now, but the power's been down since last night's storm, and we don't want to open the freezer in case there's a chance the food in there might still be okay. Ah, well. Another room-temperature sparkling water will have to do. Good night, all.
Bare tree branches lit up with lots of green lights. I don't have any pictures of fireworks, so Christmas stuff will have to do.  We can use the reminder of cold weather right now.

There are suggestions for ways around this. constitutioncenter.org/blog/can-con...
"The proponents of Congress setting Supreme Court term limits argued that lawmakers could establish an active/senior justice model where justices serving on the Supreme Court would become senior justices after 18 years and move on to other duties in the judicial system. Other alternatives included a system where justices remained on the Court for 18 years and then only heard original jurisdiction cases, or a system that gave the president the ability to promote federal judges to the Supreme Court for a fixed time."

I'm like that too. I can't ever seem to settle on one. I like to blame it on the people who supply too many different varieties of everything (after all, it can't be my problem) #NotAloneTalk

There is the obvious reason, and then there's the other reason I suspect is also true. Erika likes the attention and her business empire thrives on it. Helen does not.

No everyone didn't know. Take this quote from the Lebanon-born mayor of Dearborn Heights: (will link source in next comment)
Trump wants peace. He doesn’t want wars,” Bazzi, a Marine veteran, told Al Jazeera.

“And I believe his message is correct because when he was president, there were no new wars, and he was trying to withdraw our troops from both Iraq and Afghanistan.”

From APNewswire: apnews.com/live/donald-...
New poll on American sympathies in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: American sympathies in the Middle East have shifted dramatically toward the Palestinians, according to new Gallup polling, after decades of overwhelming support for the Israelis. That shift accelerated during the war in Gaza. Now, their support is about evenly balanced, with 41% saying their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians, and only 36% saying the same about the Israelis.

But the anti-antis pretend to be anti-Trump; they're just convinced liberals are worse (Link to source in next post)
"These are right-wingers who oppose Donald Trump—because of his efforts to overthrow the 2020 election, or his often-incoherent policies, or his utter lack of decency, or his destructive influence on the right, or all of the above—but who devote more energy to decrying liberals for overreacting to and for persecuting Trump.

Found this from December. Article basically says Minneapolis police are there to keep things from escalating. www.kare11.com/article/news...
"We've heard, though, that there are some cities that would like their police officers to stop ICE from doing their official duties, and that simply can't happen because it violates federal law," said Jeff Potts, who represents police chiefs across the state for the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association.

Shoulda looked at the weather report. I thought that very fine snow falling this afternoon wouldn't amount to more than a dusting. Several hours later, it's still coming down.

" After celebrity gossip site Radar Online sued the FBI seeking documents related to the Epstein case, Maurene Comey in early 2024 argued against releasing the cases’ investigative files on grounds that doing so could interfere with Maxwell’s appeal.

I went looking for an explanation of the massive drop off in 2023, and the headlines I'm getting tell a completely different story. Thoughts on discrepancy?
Two headlines in a string of search    results. One from NBC news that  says "blue collar hiring and pay gains stay hot in a cooling job market". Another from the Detroit news "blue-collar workers won big in 2023 defying bleak predictions."
