Direct results of Trump's "diesel deal" with Russia: increased Ukrainian civilian deaths in Putin's terrorist war for conquest. Blood on Trump's hands. Is that what MAGA voted for?

Throw some escarole in there, and you've got Italian Royal Wedding Soup. (I just made that up, but I like it.)

I'll be back to comment on this in an hour. When I've stopped laughing. (I got my wife to type this.)

There are a LOT of stories. There are problems in pharma, but this is not one of them. Generally, the pharma-based Hollywood plots aren't real either. It's almost always more in the straight financial sales/supply end than it ever is in research.

Thank you. He is a gigantic turd.

My wife worked in pharma research for 30+ years, and this very idea is both repellent and hilarious to her.

Awesome. Put sanctions on Russia, and then turn around and BUY A BUNCH OF DIESEL FROM THEM. Any bets on the premium he's going to pay? It's not his money.

Drove it forever, finally went shiftless about 8 years ago when it just got too hard to find/afford a new one. Loved my 1974 Volvo 142 (shifter came right out of the floor once, cage linkage), had a stick Volvo diesel wagon with electric overdrive, that was an experience.

I loved that thing. It was my AI; it was the only way I could make "art," and I was proud of it. I still can't draw worth a damn, but I make collages with MS Paint.

Ah, but in this case, it gets them away from the polls for the day.

Lew Bryson @lewbryson.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Actually, that's what I want to see happen with any armed agents or troops they send to polling places. Arrest them, throw them in jail, feed them shitty food, then release them the next day. "Oh, sorry, never mind."

Do you love dive bars? Do you like going way out in the back country to find them? (There are dozens of us, dozens, amirite?) This podcast episode is calling you! Six bars out in the wilds of north-central PA; come along! www.podbean.com/eas/pb-3tv6h...

Dive Bars In The Woods; Season 3, Episode 91

We went hunting dive bars in the Pennsylvania Wilds. My friends Dave and Rich went with me on a six bar tour of north-central PA. We hit Mountain Top & Provisions and Pat Reeder's Tavern in Haneyv...

I supported the death penalty most of my life. I woke up about ten years ago. The death penalty is wrong. There is no justification for it.

Photo-reconnaissance by the Allies in WW2 was incredible. Read "Operation Crossbow," it was thrilling.

I honestly have been trying to figure out what a "firing park ranger" is. Now I get it.

This is wealth transference. There are a lot of middle-aged people out there who will never see a dime of a medium-sized inheritance, because it will go into elder care. Single room, barebones, smells-like-pee-all-the-time elder care. It's a crime. I have my ice floe already picked out.

Dropped my PA ballot in the dropbox this morning; just got the confirmation that it's been received! Love it when a plan comes together. GO VOTE!!

I got this Peach Moon Pie, made by Peachey's Moon Pies, in Allenville, PA in the amazing Kish Valley, which is stuffed with good Amish-made food. (Peachey is by far the most common surname in the Kish.) 12 different sects of Plain People there. Not much in the way of booze, though...

A Peach Moon Pie, made by Peachey's Moon Pies. No joke.

Just dropped off my ballot at the district court dropbox. Straight Democrat ticket. Watching for the "Received" email. Vote now. Dropbox or in person if you can, in person on election day if you must. But vote, in overwhelming numbers.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Eek. There's yet another prep?

I've counted ballots, and at least in Pennsylvania, if I wrote "Suck it, Trump!" on a blank spot on my ballot, it would not invalidate it. So...I guess I should have!

Good advice! Former librarian here (three librarians in the family!), seduced by creating. Happy Banned Books Week!

I was snarling about Trump's latest idiocy, nuking LA or SD being somehow okay, when I thought, 'There is literally nothing I can do about this. Let it go.' Then I realized that there WAS something I could do. So I filled out my mail-in ballot & sealed it, will drop box it tomorrow. Suck it, Trump.

I always use gloves. Bought a box just for cooking.

Ugh. I don't think that will go well at all. Kharg Island, maybe, but by now I'm sure they've mined the whole thing.

I'd like this to be true, but...what I said was that posts were misrepresenting this probe as saying that the wires were directly related to Trump. That's not the case. Still isn't. I'm confident that Wyden will not give up. His dogged pursuit is one of the brightest lights of the Democratic party.

Get this woman on a Democratic party ad RIGHT NOW.

You're drawing crowds like the people who watch NASCAR for the wrecks, buddy.
