I've said it before and I'll say it again, 4 million sheep and 1.5 million people. The lonely nights will soon be but a memory.

@LuFins-Dad said in Trumpenomics: Most of you’ns don’t really care for Shapiro, but the first 10 minutes or so are useful. Link to video Was just coming here to post this. His economic policies were admitted to be reasonable, even by many never-Trumpers on the right. Boy are they not reasonable anymore.

The irony of that clip is that Roger Stone could have been easily cast as one of the conspirators in the JFK film. Hell, he wouldn’t even have had to act; just be himself.

@blondie It was pretty wet out there all last week and only started to clear off on Saturday. Frankly not surprised the slide happened where it did - that area took the brunt of the wildfire two years ago and much of the mountain side has been stripped of vegetation..

More like parallel reality 52 pick up.

Fact checking Trump’s allegations from yesterday: "We subsidize a lot of countries and keep them going and keep them in business," Trump said. "In the case of Mexico, it's $300 billion. In the case of Canada, it's close to $200 billion a year." According to the Office of the United States Trade Representative, The U.S. goods trade deficit with Canada was $63.3 billion in 2024, down from $64 billion in 2023. That's far less than Trump claimed on Wednesday. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/fact-checking-donald-trump-s-claims-about-canada-in-his-global-tariff-speech-1.7500989

Speedy recovery 89. Have had several friends and former colleagues who have had a bout with shingles. Majority recovered without any long term side effects - those that suffered side effects were already over 65. So you should be okay. I got my Shingrix vaccine last year in the hope of avoiding it down the road in my 70s

I saw a piece on one of his competitors in that race. A guy who wants to build city-owned grocery stores, which wouldn't be profit-motivated, and wouldn't pay rent on their buildings.

Better than the Beatles!

I now have two computers, a Mac mini that stays home and a laptop I travel with. I need the cloud to keep them in sync. I also have a physical hard drive backup

Hmph. If there's no hell, we'll invent one.

@89th said in The dancing clown Bill Burr: I said stop at 1:20! I've never been good at following instructions. Just ask my wife. I really liked Bill Burr's response. This is what everybody should do.

@LuFins-Dad said in 21 random but fascinating scientific facts: So… Did anybody actually try the honey in the pyramids? They did, and expired shortly afterwards due to The Curse of King Tut. Or possibly food poisoning.

Nice Jon! I just got back from a 4-day trip to a waterpark in the middle of Wisconsin where it snowed a bit while we were there, so you know... basically the same thing.

@Horace said in Biden lied. Imagine that ...: @Deep-Fakes jon thinks you're GeorgeK, who used to write that phrase. I'm pretty sure it's Tom Cruise.

The carrot is of the Trump Administration's own making and imagination. It holds little, if any, credibility outside of a few minds in Washington and Budapest. The Kremlin however immensely enjoys the black humour of the tragicomedy theatre it offers.
