Bobo is following MTG's lead. She knows the political winds are shifting and wants to be ahead of it.

FOTUS is demoing the White House. a) There's no permit on record. This is a National Historic Place with requirements for modifications. b) He said this ballroom would be close to but not connected to the White House. He lied. c) The government's shutdown & he just started a $250 MILL project.

TBH, it reminds me of a phrase my team in India used to write "Please do the needful". That's very specifically Indian and I had to tell them it wasn't a phrase you'd see someone writing outside of India. I think he must have heard it and thinks it commands respect?

The significance of the number 33 varies by context, appearing in religion as a number associated with spiritual fulfillment and divine promises. In numerology, 33 is a "Master Number" of compassion & altruism. The number 33 also represents divine connection, healing, & a call to service. Also this

Implants for things like Parkinsons are probably worth the risk but it's not nothing.

I worked on brain implants many years ago and I will just say this. The brain is a very closed system--even to the infection fighting cells in the body--which means putting things in the brain can be very very dangerous.

"a truly tolerant society must retain the right to *deny* tolerance to those who promote intolerance. He posited that if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode/destroy tolerance itself through authoritarian/oppressive practices." 2/2

I've been reading a lot about the Paradox of Tolerance-"The paradox of tolerance suggests that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance." 1/2

This morning someone came into my *very* progressive Boulder church, a former member, and proceeded to stand up in joys and concerns to talk about HOW KIRK WAS A GREAT GREAT MAN. When I tried to approach her later with a list of things he said, she dismissed all of it as taken out of context.

I honestly see things like that and think that they are trying to see if they can start a confrontation. That's part of what's wrong with MAGA.

It's not often that you personally know someone who merits a NYT obituary. AK Best was one of a kind. Loved chatting with him. My husband won some of his flies in an auction. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/s...

He seems to be easily flustered. I think it's because he has spent too much of his career in an anti-vaxx bubble where no one challenges his BS. He's not used to having real questions.

There's an advantage to booking all as one ticket, because the itinerary will be one code. BUT if you do it as A>B and C>A, then B>C in the middle, you can more easily book different airlines. It's cheaper to set up one ticket back and forth to the US, then the B>C leg on a regional airline in EU.

That's a multi-city trip and it is an option on most sites. Pro-tip though, you'll often pay more for all of those on a single ticket. I used to book A>>B, returning C>>A as one ticket, and the B>>C as a second ticket to save sometimes hundreds of dollars.

which is the document guaranteed political liberties and laid the foundation for individual rights that in America, we supposedly hold dear. The government must "have the body" -- produce the person to be tried in court. This administration is so stupid. I hate this timeline.

And that the schedule was based on the optimal effectiveness as a child's immunity from the mother is wearing off. Perhaps a lot of them weren't diehards but just unsure and he gave them what they needed to realize the vaccines weren't as scary as they thought.

everyone would be essentially in hazmat to treat their kid. Every time. He would also tell them some things like he grew up drinking raw milk, but also regularly had bloody diarrhea. That he doesn't recommend all vaccines necessarily.

If you don't vaccinate, then we need to treat every vaccine as potentially a sign of something very bad, something that could be a sign of something potentially lethal. He said they would have to treat everything as very contagious, including isolating and if they came in,

My daughter just finished a peds rotation in med school. I was really interested in what her doc said to people who were vaccine hesitant. He was able to gently change minds w/o being aggressive about it. One thing was to say the hidden advantage of vaccines is that we don't worry about fevers much.

Maybe it's me, but I sure would like to see Telsa's board recognize that the CEO is toxic to the brand and remove him. But TBH, I think he's destroyed the brand with the very people who used to buy Telsas and is unlikely to convince MAGA to buy. It's a dumpster fire of his own doing.

After trying to figure out what I could do in this day and age to be a positive force, I've joined the tech team of the League of Women Voters of Boulder County. The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan organization working to protect and expand voting rights. Uses my tech skills for the good.
