This is the happiest my weather forecast has made me since May.

My weather forecast. The highest it's getting is 92 deg tomorrow for a brief time. IT'S ACTUALLY GOING DOWN TO 59 ONE NIGHT.

I am so happy, and my electric bill will be happier too.

Btw, this gerontocracy isn't in favor of supporting entitlements like Medicare and Social Security. Those things exist to make sure that poor & middle class people are able to be fed, sheltered & receive healthcare. These Congressional elders don't need ANY of that. They're wealthy.

But the time has come for reforms to prevent rule by an increasingly enfeebled gerontocracy. Older Americans’ disproportionate power affects policy. It’s no coincidence that the trillions of dollars the US government spends on entitlements — all of Medicare, all but the disability portion of Social Security, the majority of Medicaid spending — skew heavily toward older Americans. Even if they’re spry and lucid, aging politicians represent the past more than the future.

Horrifying. I'm already suspicious of search results, and scan articles for AI telltales. Gotta be more vigilant.

Over the past few years, BBM has pioneered a remarkably cynical business model. First it buys online publications that have established themselves as offering a distinctive type of journalism, like coverage of space travel, parenting advice, or business news. Then it floods their websites with dizzying torrents of AI-generated content — many thousands of articles per month, by our count — in a bid to soak up as many readers as possible via Google and other platforms.

There are signs that this strategy has been extraordinarily successful, with BBM boasting in 2025 that its network of sites had surpassed 50 million page views per month. It’s difficult to verify a site’s traffic without access to its internal data, but the analytics service Similarweb corroborates the claim that BBM is pulling in vast audiences, estimating that over the past year its network of publications has attracted an average of 64.7 million visitors per month. According to a recent ranking, that would make it one of the 30 most trafficked English-language media enterprises on the web, with a total digital readership substantially higher than that of NPR, narrowly besting CBS News and Forbes, and just slightly behind the Washington Post

One of BBM’s many unscrupulous practices, insiders confirmed to us, is that it has often invented entire fake personas for nonexistent writers — we found more than 50 spread across its dozens of sites — and published content under their names without revealing to readers that they weren’t real people.

In many cases, BBM has even outfitted these fictional writers with impressive-sounding bogus credentials as it uses their bylines to churn out AI-generated material.

It's so strange how reality has a liberal bias.

He flashes a stack of papers, revealing each individually, in an attempt to explain what he means. Depicted in a scramble of blue and red dots, de Castro explains how the university promotes more liberal perspectives than conservative ones, and that it was the central motivation behind the legislature’s push to create the center

Prices for the "cheap stuff", ie highest fat content . Hamburger Helper is still a buck-fifty, but with the beef, the meal will cost you $8.50. That used to be about $5. That adds up.

Lol yeah. For me, it's my parents. Mom would've been 101 this year. My grandmother would've been 124! I was born in the 60s. My great grandparents were born in the 1880s.

My parents, 1958, Mallorca Spain, on their honeymoon. Kim is wearing a white tailored sleeveless top and turquoise pencil skirt with a silk scarf tied over her head, and Dad is in grey pleated trousers and a navy blue v-neck sweater.

They look extremely happy, and are a beautiful couple.

I'll confess I'm shocked by this: seeing a respected progressive voice openly argue that it's better to defeat Democrats who have been flaky on trans rights than to secure Democratic control of the US Senate and US House.
