The anti-Somalia stuff is bonkers, but it’s getting dangerous now.

Oregon is 4 months heating, 4 months cooling, and 4 months of rain.

I forgot to say I have gas heat. If he has electric heat, especially if it’s not a heat pump, that could run it up.

I hope you share and this makes people seriously think about our society!

I use 218 kwh/mo, pretty much minimum, no car charging. You use 3 times that. I paid 52, you paid 158, about the same per kwh. Something you're doing is using more kwh. I have a friend whose bill blows up because she is running an infra red lamp to keep a turtle warm.

I was not thinking about ballot measures. But still, is it easier to get CA voters to pass a limit on billionaire taxes than to pass another measure allowing them again? If so, why?

Couldn't a future legislature pass a bill that repeals proposition 42, then pass a new tax on billionaires anyway? I don't think you can successfully legislate what future legislatures can or can't do.

Based on my astute political instincts, of which I have none, taking away people's medication 3 weeks before an election seems like bad timing to me.

"One lecturer keeps it in his spare time." Much better than a) having a committee do it, and getting mired in disputes. b) having some company do it, and charging us all for it. c) having the government do it, and turning it into red tape.

Yea, those other countries have public executions, but do they execute guys in wheelchairs with a firing squad? Now who is the craziest country, huh.

Ingrate Zelenskyy? He should saying thank you sir, may I have another?

I prefer the BlueSky check. If it has anything worth reading, it will show up here. Also never listen to them, always read them. We are more thoughtful when reading.

It's just the Gulf and the Gulf Coast now. Can't say the name.

It’s gross to cast every news story as “not Trump.” He was not nominated by any one. This should be a story about her.

What’s hateful in my mind is that showing it on TV seems like it will invite replays and a clip going around and such, which will be depraved.

I think a lot of the bad judgement we have seen in this AI craze is due to an inordinate fear that "the other guys are doing it and they will be way ahead of us unless we jump in too." As a result no one took their time to work through the development in a sensible way.

Wouldn't that be the substack / beehiiv sort of thing? One person, a daily or weekly newsletter, paid by subscriptions.

Came to say this. A snuff film is a type of pornography.

Curiosity has been on Mars 14 years. Perseverance 5 years. They can be replaced periodically, so the US can be said to have a permanent presence on Mars. We could do the same thing on the Moon. If they mean people living there, though, then lol, not gonna happen.

“the highly accepted new and more accurate term” How does he come up with stuff like this? I can’t think of another person in human history who would use a phrase like that. Literally no one speaks that way.

We will have to get reviews on Reddit, or even BlueSky.

Not a single person, not counting politicians of course, blames Biden for the price of gas or diesel.

I don't know what item I stored in the bathroom, but I confess that I have stored things there. I would consider the soaking of beans to be something under cooking. If I had known it was considered a hobby I might not have done it.

Amazon knows more than I do about myself. It reveals how deep it can probe with these two insightful observations: Home & Family: March 12, 2026 Stores an item in the bathroom Interests and Hobbies: May 8, 2026 Soaks beans before cooking

Driving a convertible (do they still make them?) with the top down and either heat on if it’s cold or AC on if it’s hot is a fun ride.

So he’s the one responsible for Trump’s bullshit tariffs.

Whatever Megan Kelly says, do the opposite. That would be a good guide to follow.

I noticed that while the internet and computers come up in the discussion, they didn't seem to mention cell phones. I think texting has changed people a lot. We don't have to meet to catch up on news and plans. People text their vacation pics, so I've seen them before they get home.

The equipment costs money, but the consumption of sunshine is free. Hard to beat that.

We have never minded when websites state they are "powered" by some web tool, even though they are really powered by electricity. It has never meant anything. Whether the site has any power worth mentioning depends not on the tools used, but on how the web site designers have used the tools.

I thought Trump’s tariffs were specifically designed to dramatically reduce this number to zero.

There'd be no reason to say this if his polls showed the GOP holding the house and senate.

He was sentenced to death in 2013 by a jury. Even in the military it takes time to go through all the appeals. I'm not sure the choice of method is that significant; it's the death part that matters. There's not really a nice way of doing it.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going, and the Americans go home because their airplanes are top secret and very expensive and they can’t risk damaging or losing them.

Hey, don't get un-American, spending disgusting amounts of money on purchasing elections is a time honored tradition in the GOP. The goal is to improve the lives of the wealthy, and barely keep alive the minions doing menial and manual labor.
