Alright, I don't post much, and I post on politics even less, but I feel it's important to call out that I VOTED. I am doing what I can, little though it may be. I'm sorry to the rest of the country, and the world, if it isn't enough. But we're trying.

Rousseau: Do you like cats? Boswell: No. Rousseau: I was sure of that. It is my test of character. There you have the despotic instinct of men. They do not like cats because the cat is free and will never consent to be a slave. He will do nothing to your order, as the other animals do.
from "the private papers of james boswell":
Rousseau: Do you like cats?
Boswell: No.
Rousseau: I was sure of that. It is my test of character. There you have the despotic instinct of men. They do not like cats because the cat is free and will never consent to be a slave. He will do nothing to your order, as the other animals do.
Boswell: Nor a hen, either.
Rousseau: A hen would obey your orders if you could make her understand them. But a cat will understand you perfectly and not obey them.
Boswell: But a cat is ungrateful and treacherous.
Rousseau: No. That's all untrue. A cat is an animal that can be very much attached to you; he will do anything you please out of friendship...

I'm always astonished at how many people get deeply involved in reality shows like Big Brother, the Bachelor, et al. And how much gab there is about it on social media, even bsky. I think there should be a reality show called Get A Life that's about lives of people heavily into "reality" shows.

A trump dollar with Jeffrey Epstein added to the obverse and a large McD's fries instead of the great seal for the reverse.

IMHO, it should be a scandal that the U.S. government constantly posts AI slop pictures of military equipment. First one tried to be a KC-46, but it has misshapen blobs on the fuselage. Second one is a frankenship, silhouette is closet to a Soviet Krivak frigate with WWII-era US guns bolted on.

@USDOT
 is working to fast-track construction of a new fleet of vessels to change the game and DOMINATE China 

THAT MEANS:
📦 MORE CARGO (no internal fuel tanks)
🚢 FASTER SHIPS (up to 75% faster crossings)
🌐 ZERO EMISSIONS (20 years of continuous power without refueling)

The first NUCLEAR-POWERED vessel is set to be built in 2028 🇺🇸
