I might be a tad late reporting back in! Things seem to be returning to normal! The CHICKADEES and NUTHATCHES are having a real AVIAN GUFFAW at the SUET FEEDER. Mr GRAY SQUIRRILL attacked new suet log and it promptly fell out of it's sock! So I spent time thinking how to get it remounted. Sacrificed a wire hanger to hang it horizontally. Seems to be functioning OK. This morning the GOLD FINCHES made their rounds for the SUN FLOWER SEEDS. They've been gone for several days now. LIFE IS GOOD!

Fair play to the NYT here, https://bsky.app/profile/mikehixenbaugh.com/post/3mbvzzcxc2s26

A video they have put out illustrates how Good did not drive into Ross, and how there is another low resolution video Trump and others claims shows she did- but that when the two are seen together, it's clear that claim is horse shit. They also show the agents refusing medical aid, and refusing to let a doctor through to check on Good after she was shot.

There is a very succinct video on the second by second timeline where it is shown that Ross had already reached for his firearm BEFORE Good even shifted out of reverse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Icl0PsY30

Not only that but he circled the Honda directly contradicting training that tells officers to avoid placing themselves in front of or behind vehicles while performing stops.

Premeditated murder.

Ah, yes. The leopards have finally arrived for Brendan Carr. The very companies he worked for, paid him huge fees, and he tongue bathed over the years are now turning on him as FCC chairman.

Wait, since when is Microsoft a big player in the AI industry? I mean I'm sure they're running it same as everyone else, but I hadn't noticed them being a particularly big name in the madness.

Also, Trump is not a primary source for anything ever and I have no respect for any publication that tries to use him as such.

Micro$oft is another player in the circle jerk of AI financing - "I'll buy 100000 quattloos of AI timeshares if you buy 100000 quatloos of AI garbage output. We put both "sales" on the books as income and WIN!"

This is all so stupid.

I just wrote my US Senator, Ted Budd:

Dear Senator: In case it has escaped your attention, Trump, the man who has bankrupted casinos, has declared himself president of Venezuela and is threatening to invade Greenland. His secret police are terrorizing American cities and he wants to build monuments to himself by tearing down existing historic federal buildings - including the Federal Reserve. How much longer are you going to allow this to go on? Start impeaching his underlings for undermining the rule of law. He has no more understanding of this country than a slug, nor does he care as long he can line his pockets at public expense. GET RID OF HIM. He will fire you too. Make no mistake. He is sick and dangerous.

I had a USAmerican Ford Thunderbird with the gas cap on the wrong side. I can understand it on more globally available platforms, but not on a mid-sized luxo-barge not intended for the export market. Still, one of the best cars I've ever owned.

Kicking under-16s off the social platforms is tempting, but it ignores the root of the problem: the older generations who made them so toxic in the first place
