That Southern boy needs a a good swattin' from his Mama. I'm sure she learned 'im that when you're a guest you don't say anything about the host's house except how nice it is and how kind they all to let you in. He's in need of a reminder.

Which is worse? The 1) slop invented by AI or the 2) people who post it thinking it's real? No difference, in both cases the intelligence is fake.

We sleep in our beds at night with the expectation that we'll wake-up pretty much the same way we fell asleep, relatively safe & secure? Be thankful for the men & women who daily risk their lives to help make that happen. In the US last year, 111 died making that happen.

General Electric building, NYC, Architects: John W. Cross and Eliot Cross, completed 1931--and all this detail is 600 ft above the street, in other words where it won't be seen.

1/2 There are some of us who still remember seeing this and hearing justifications of "this is just the way things are." Some things are the way they are because we make them so. But it can be more complex.

Don't know, but don't think it will work. The old MAGA core is disgusted with the broken campaign promises. Spend what you want, they're going to stay home. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Have you read it yet? It's one of those "must" reads for anyone hoping to understand the US, & especially NYC, 1960-2000 (trigger warning: there's a harrowing account of his su1cide attempt). www.amazon.com/Great-Demon-...

3/31/2026 US District court ruled in favor of The Satanic Temple (Cave et al v. Jester) that Arkansas violated religious neutrality by hosting this monument and rejecting a display of Baphomet. The monument was ordered to be removed, Arkansas is appealing the decision.

Like the classical Attic statues, it's a matter of taste; historically inauthentic but I will always prefer them uncolored. 🤷‍♂️

Here's the irony: the US strategic defense is purposefully set-up so that the first sites destroyed in a nuclear attack on the US are the 100's of underground ICBM missile silos in western Nebraska & Wyoming. Nebraskans know this. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/10/05/t...

This is really too much. Somebody got tenure, and then grants, doing this. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

And this never happened. It's a colorized & doctored version of Warren Leffler's B&W 1968 photo of the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom." The dead give-away is the failure of the doctored photo to include the dome of the US Capitol at the far end of the Mall (and the added US flags)

Tricky to live in an interconnected world. A large majority of the oranges in Uncle Matt's come from Florida with small percentages coming from Mexico and Peru. About 50% of maple syrup used in the US comes from Canada (the rest comes from here). We need each other, at least for breakfast.

A test: 1 says "Life is fun, things are good, are going to get better so get out & live the adventure & when it breaks down I can mostly fix it myself." 1 says "Life's nasty, the world's dangerous & going to get worse so I'm in here & you stay away & I can't fix anything." 1961 or 2026?

Another wrinkle from the cancellation of the Nashville Symphony's season. Have a ticket to an event? Want a refund? We've already spent the money, so, SUCKER, you probably won't get anything back but you can make a "donation". Great way to treat patrons. SUCKER 🤡 www.nashvillesymphony.org/22879

The uni-party speaks. What the country wants now is the president impeached and REMOVED. But the Democrats are signaling that with congressional majorities they'll just go after the low-hanging fruit. It's all theater. Both parties. 🤷‍♂️🤡 www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
