I have been reading the news all morning. If that bear doesn't get back in his tree hole, I might borrow it

It's still pretty chilly here, but the snow is pretty much gone. Which means we get a foot next week ...

Last fall I crawled into a hole

To get myself some sleep

As spring arrived I woke to find

The place run by a creep.

He has no guiding ethos

Sometimes life just ain't fair

Three more years of madness

Will be too much to bear.

Cutie pie bear cautiously peeks out and asks, "Is that man dead yet? If not, we have a lot of work to do, but Yes We Can!"

Extremely disappointing that you didn't bother to follow-up on your disappointment in "Big Gretch" being so ashamed at being set up by Mango Mussolini that she covered her face.

I'm sure you would have done something less disappointing, because you know how not to be a part of a disappointing circular firing squad.

I am very disappointed at how disappointing your follow-up on how disappointing "Big Gretch" was in this disappointing situation.

I am disappointed at your disappointing coverage of this disappointing situation.

I'm just going to say that after reading the privacy policy of the above- referenced NYT gift link, I will not ever open a NYT "gift link" again. The gift appears to be everything they can scrape up from me.

I'd like to ask that we discourage this practice. If it's not important enough to summarize without surrendering privacy, then it doesn't matter. It's just another ad using our appetites to trap more data.

I would say that trumpy had second thoughts about tariffs except that he never had first thoughts.

In a way, his tariff fiasco was a winner for him. He made a power-play and got tons of attention. He may have even made money if he played the stock market. I'll bet some of his cronies did.

"Tulsi Gabbard picked a guy, Joe Kent, who’s realllll tight with neo-Nazis to be in charge of 'counter'-terrorism."

I wasn't aware that Woolworths still had lunch counters where this guy would want to terrorize "coloreds" who sat in the "whites only" section. At least that's the sort of "counter"-terrorism I'd expect him to be interested in.

Infographics Show has a nice explanation of Snoot Harley Act: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7i-ievZZiQ&list=WL&index=2&ab_channel=TheInfographicsShow

No AI there, as far as I know. The guy doing the voiceovers is still a real human being (they had a quickie interview on the channel 6 months ago.)

So it turns out that America is mostly owned by our "Allies". Collectively they hold trillions of dollars of US debt with bonds.. They have loaned us the money for big shiny new aircraft carriers and fancy planes, etc. Tfg and his crackpot sidekick Vara like to brag about nobody having the "cards" to challenge them. They not only have the "cards", they have "Professor" Carney to play them.

Woke up with a start this morning, feeling pretty panicky about who knows what. Did the normal self-talk--"you are not having a heart attack. You are not having a stroke. This is an anxiety attack and it will pass. It always does. You are safe."

I felt wide awake, but saw that the time was only 1:30. Got up for a sip of water.

Now, lately I wake up a little after 4, and I don't love it but I still just get up rather than tossing and turning, but 1:30's just too early and spooky, so I stayed there frozen for a couple of useless hours, fell asleep for about 30 minutes, and then gave up.

What I'm saying here, is I am not enjoying work today!

Car in the parking lot has its sides covered with "Black Lives Matter" and Bob Marley "One Love" and "coexist" and "hippie chicks rule" stickers, but the hood of the car has several 8x10 color pictures of RFKjr glued on, along with MAHA stickers, and then there's a big color picture of Elon on the dash where he's dressed up in some Game of Thrones get-up, triumphant.

I'm trying to take a picture but I'm afraid this is a crazy person and they'll come out of whatever business they're in and catch me.

I'm not going to key it because I don't damage other people's property, no matter how insane they are, but I wanted to.

The Congressional candidate shares the same name as an incredibly talented actor my Mom directed in high school, who went on to a brief acting career -- most notably as Billy Pilgrim in the movie version of "Slaughterhouse Five" -- and then retired from acting to make money.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Sacks

My mother recalled she barely had to do any direction with him ... he just knew now to act.

Oddly enough the most enlightened USAian response (historically speaking) seems to have been Wyoming, which gave women the vote. Did the guys figure out they were all in this together?

lol. Waiting for a repair at Best Buy and they have Yahoo Finance on. They just had a tariff timeline on the screen. It really looks ridiculous laid out like that!
