China live streams its military parade: Link to video As PSA: expects propaganda, think critically.

I support their right to live and dress as they please. But do not expect me to believe it or pretend with them to believe it.

Really, it's only Black on Black crime. Should we care? Well, it seems President Trump cares. (Probably for the wrong reason--but he cares.) All good. And that's why Trump is President and Kamila is some "Mrs." somewheres.

@jon-nyc said in Ona update: Very talented monkey. Understands English. Answers to the name Finley. That's what I suspected but did not dare to say.

@LuFins-Dad Agreed! Videos, please.

I have visited Disney and a few of the parks more than I would like - often because a meeting was held at a Disney property or as a "perk" from some corporate entity. As a non-parent, it is all wasted on me. Still, I had a niece who worked at Disney as Minnie Mouse. I have a brother who took his two children to Disneyworld and was viciously articulate enough to get a full refund of his family's admission to the park. They hated everything about it.

The sad thing is that most of the shit he posts looks like fabricated screenshots.

It's a bellwether of just how stupid we have become. To really think that redesigning a logo to be more contemporary or one's favorite restaurants means anything is just absurd. But it's comedy gold for memes.

Mmm peaches.

Big Food was behind this. Does anybody really think it's a coincidence that the soldier who was originally put in charge of planning the Iraq invasion was General Mills?

@jon-nyc said in Nobel Peace Prize - nomination for Trump: He may still win the Chamberlain Prize for Appeasement. Hey... it's sort of a 'pease prize!

@89th said in President Trump to make an Announcement at 2pm: Wasn't it supposed to be at 2pm? https://x.com/augusthogsworth/status/1962945497754218797?s=46

Oooh.. touchy!

@jon-nyc said in Trumpenomics: Someone at Labor forgot the hammer and sickle. https://x.com/usdol/status/1961950339466219762?s=46 I just got a pretty good paycheck. Felt pretty good about it. Then I bought fried rice and an Arnold Palmer for lunch. $20… SMH…

It's kind of interesting that the main challenge is not to make the lung work and connect it properly, but to stop the body from rejecting it.

@jon-nyc In the old days, he would have risen steadily among the ranks of the Polish Communist Party. At least until, a bigger asshole came along and took his Party card along with all the unearned and underserved privileges that accompanied Party membership.

This of course leads to the adage be careful what you wish for.

Sod off Mr. Kennedy….. Aug 11 (Reuters) - An influential U.S. medical journal is rejecting a call from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to retract a large Danish study that found that aluminum ingredients in vaccines do not increase health risks for children, the journal's editor told Reuters. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/medical-journal-rejects-kennedys-call-for-retraction-vaccine-study-2025-08-11/
