Utah elections are mostly done via mail ballot. We've always dropped our ballots at an official drop box. We haven't trusted the Post Office, especially since the 1st term disruptions.

Growth that kills its host isn’t growth. It’s cancer with good PR.

I'm so sorry. Hopefully, life will provide experiences that help her learn compassion, humility, and tolerance. It might be harsh, but life happens and has many lessons to teach.

It seems as though the man believes that putting his name on everything will leave the impression that he actually did good things for this nation. Or maybe it stems from a deep need to make it look like he matters. I'm not a psychologist, but I believe this man is deeply harmed. A pathetic figure.

No, they've become a joke, or rather he's become a joke, a meme, and that reflects on the military he leads. A military that has gone along with actions he's ordered that can be deemed war crimes.

He deserves heaps of scorn for his opening questioning. He's a self-righteous idiot.

Part of the fun of parenting is watching each child develop into their own person. Where they land in their development might not always be what we'd prefer; it is still an experience helping them grow into themselves. Kids are never boring. 😁

Things like this cause me to think that humans don't deserve to live on this planet. Then people like you enter the picture, and I think maybe we might eventually match Gene Roddenberry's vision of a better humanity.

Wow! I just learned a new (to me), very cool expression. And how apropos for this southern DF. Willfully, fully engaged in gaslighting and destroying our nation.

Why stop at the Trumps? Why not go after every billionaire who profited from Trump's machinations on their behalf? The first items on the agenda of a new (sane, honest POTUS w/ integrity) should be election reform, SCOTUS reform, graduated taxes on the wealthy, and expanded benefits.

Congress has always been the problem with this man. The side that slavishly supports him versus the side that didn't get the majority and is left basically powerless. Let's not even get started on corporate Dems and how they've contributed to us being in this place.

Thank you for clarifying this. I appreciate that you took the time to do this.

You just made public what I've been thinking for a while. So true.

How many people actually believe that the terms of the agreement will be honored? And it's only for 5 years. And who wants to bet that, ultimately, it will be found that this merger did exactly the kind of damage that's been predicted? This should *never* have been allowed.

If you can still afford it, and if you still dare to eat fast food, check first to see if your favorite fast food place has been bought by investment/private equity firms. The same goes for chain restaurants. Of course, this goes for so many other businesses. I make checking more of a habit now.

The first test the U.S. faces is the election. Do we turn out in high enough numbers that there is no doubt about who won each election? The biggest test is going to be what we do when the election results are ignored and this party openly refuses to leave and concede. Will we actively resist?

True story. My husband worked for the software company that created the 3D graphics used in Myst. He helped walk the brothers through creating the graphics in the game.

My son left for summer visitation with his father, who'd bought him an N64. He told us we could play while he was gone. He had Zelda: OOT. I was hooked! I've gamed since then, and my husband has gotten pulled into gaming as well. Yes, I'm an old fogie, but I still play. 😀

Funny thing about diesel. It's the lowest fraction in the cracking tower and the cheapest to produce. For much of my early life, diesel was pennies compared to regular 'unleaded' gasoline. Fun fact: lead was added to gas to prevent pinging. Then overnight, diesel suddenly became very expensive.

It's a sad commentary on our nation that candidates need to become celebrities to get elected to office. It was endless free publicity that helped to get T into office--twice. Now, we see promising candidates whose numbers are boosted by free publicity. What about the other good candidates?

And ... they are instituting programs and changes that benefit their cities and constituencies. This is why, when given a choice, many of us support these individuals who offer radical change on behalf of the people.

And some of us are opting to support companies that let us own what we purchase or that offer open-source apps while we boycott "rental" companies.

I believe that the boycott should center around censorship. Punishing speech. If the boycott centers around one side, or the other, then it is simply censorship in a mirrored form. Let's separate Jews, their religion, their culture and traditions from what the Israeli government is doing.

You are right about deserving. You don't know our dogs, lol. Both are rescues, both demanding constant petting or homage (the husky). Our husky girl is more independent. Our big mixed breed is often very needy. Still, they like to stay close and are very emotionally in tune. We love them tons!

My husband calls them honkers, and one of his favorite activities is watching for them while they migrate and listening to them living up to the name he's given them.

I'm trying to remember the name of the book Andre Norton wrote where the human was able to mentally connect with her companion animal. Wouldn't it be absolutely fantastic if we had mental telepathy between ourselves and animals? Of course, that always carries some hazards as well. Still ...

There is one thing I've seen stated by many on Bluesky ... the *only* way we will win back our nation is if the voting is so overwhelming that the numbers can't be denied. Apparently, there *was* cheating in the 2024 election--on the GOP side. We could lose our country in the midterms.

kijake64.bsky.social @kijake64.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

One more comment. FDR was also prevented from doing everything he wanted. The hubbub about Social Security? It is only one account that has a problem, and a small change in wording would fix that particular problem. We've learned enough that we can restore and add while doing much better.

011

kijake64.bsky.social @kijake64.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

We are seeing so many better candidates who look to the needs of the people rather than the wants of the wealthy. You are fortunate to have Al-Sayed. Talarico is another promising candidate. Mayor Mamdani has been blazing a trail. We need more of these politicians, IMO.

kijake64.bsky.social @kijake64.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

It was good, better than what people had before it. I'm not denying that. As for Trump, he's a puppet being used by others to destroy this country, weakening it so badly that we become a sitting duck, a non-entity. Run by people who love cruelty for its own sake. The Powell Memo = fork in road.

kijake64.bsky.social @kijake64.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Obama saved it, Clinton saved it, Biden saved it. That's long been the pattern. I'm not saying that the Dems have done nothing. I'm saying they have done things that contribute to where we are now and haven't done enough to prevent where we are. I'm looking at the Dems who want more change.

Paranoia is one of the symptoms of mental deterioration--dementia.

I've watched for decades as the social programs created to help people have been deliberately eroded--often by Dems to pacify the GOP. The ACA was a step towards something better, but it wasn't the bill that Obama wanted to pass. Dems pacify the GOP far too much, IMO. The Dems need to do more.

010

kijake64.bsky.social @kijake64.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I know that statement ^^ sounded cavalier, but it was painful for me to start seriously looking at GOP & Dem presidents, and recognize that while Dems do many good things, there are many things they haven't done that have contributed to where we are right now. Now = decades in the making.

7/ Replacing what was lost takes more than just planting a few single-species trees. It is more complicated and requires more work and resources. Even with methods like the Miyawaki Method, it will take generations to begin replacing what was lost. We need to react fast to save ourselves.
