Re SpaceX: it is worth remembering that every failed high-tech company, and every fraudulent one, had a cheerleading CEO. It is also notable that most of the valuation is based on AI. AI is in a bubble. One of the characteristics of a bubble is that you have people going around saying it's not a bubble. But the economics of it are currently ludicrously upside-down for the AI model providers, such as Musk's Nazi-friendly xAI, and the pricing of these companies assumes massive revenue growth well into the future that will overtake their mind-boggling capital expenditures.
I guess I'm just a Gen X "big leftist online" but I see ordering lunch out as an indulgence (which is fine if you can do it!) and cooking at home as frugal. I bring lunch almost every day, usually some leftover meat that I froze and turned into a sandwich or salad, along with fruit and a little dessert. It's cheap and easy. I see constant Door Dash orders here and wonder how much more people are making than me because I couldn't afford that every day. Once in awhile I'll pick up something for lunch from a restaurant because I'm not paying a pointless markup for delivery. I did this when I was broke in my 20s and couldn't have dreamed of ordering out so much. I've never been a fussy cook. Tonight is leftover pork and rice because sometimes you just need to get dinner on the table for your family. I think being OK with leftovers and planning ahead is the key to saving money and time. I'm no less harried than most people in Gen Z.
Related to that $28 lunch: Retirement advice I've gotten says I'll probably need only 75% - 85% of what I spent from my working income during retirement. When I ask "why?", I'm typically told because of all my savings on commuting, work clothing, and eating out, beverages, and other food costs. My current primary transportation is a 40 year old bicycle. My clothing is about half from thrift stores and most of the rest from discount stores. I eat or order out about once a month, have brownbagged it to work including beverages for my entire life, and frequently have grocery clerks marvel at how much my coupon and bargain strategies have saved me. Yeah, I'm planning on spending 100% of what I spent from my working income during retirement.
Pam Bondi is said to have/had thyroid cancer. I know a woman who had thyroid cancer, had surgery, and was back at work within days. That was more than five years ago, and I've lost touch, so I don't know if she's had a recurrence or other affects.
I saw that thyroid cancer has a 5-year survival rate of 98%, too - so chances are both my acquaintance and Bondi will be around for a while yet.
I hope Short Fingers has as much success winning over E. Jean Carroll (who is now an old lady - older even than himself!) as he did winning over the old lady in Atlantic City who wouldn't sell him her property.
I like Alton Brown, but I was worn out after watching him (The Play Typer Guy) cook meat sauce for spaghetti. Mom used to make spaghetti with meat sauce after working a full day, and we would have cooked, eaten, and washed the dishes, by the time Brown was ready to put his sauce on the pasta. And, I have done the same. And, it tasted good. I also don't judge Door Dash users. I'd have way more money if I cooked every day, instead of using premade food, frozen dinners, etc.. Someone else may be too busy, I'm just too old and crippled to do it.
Can't wait to see pictures of ALL the upcoming parties.
I used to be more judgy but I started to train myself away from it. I like this version of me better. (I DO still judge Turnip voters. It's the one thing I can't seem to train myself away from...oh well)
Trump's latest suit against E. Jean Carroll, the Wall Street Journal, his endless sabotaging of any Iranian peace and his constant whining that the 2020 election was "rigged" are all part of his psychosis that he must never been a loser. Only a loser whines this much.
So we’re supposed to believe Trump’s life is in so much danger from outside forces that he needs a militarized bunker ballroom, and now he’s gonna sit out on the lawn under a spotlight?
I have a granddaughter who had shingles at 15. ..the majority of my grandchildren were born pre-chickenpox vaccine. I think the guidelines are changing now, taking medical history, etc., into consideration.
At least the crazy, evil antisemite that the sleazy pac was supporting in the race for the Democratic nomination for the US House seat in TX-35 got her ass handed to her big time in the runoff. Lost by nearly 30 points.

Even though it is a walrus, have to give this post my seal of approval.
John Lennon made all the walrus rhymes
Above what I can do
So I'll just salute that calf so cute
With a few koo koo ka choos.
voted most likely to succeed and make others laugh. verry good job, gridley.
NOW WITH MORE DOGGEREL!!!!!!!!
When I saw those fantastic creatures slide on into the water, I thought of Kurt Vonnegut, describing himself, in 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘺 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦
"...I am six feet two and weigh nearly two hundred pounds and am badly coordinated, except when I swim...In the water I am beautiful."
I am reminded of Jerry Garcia, who was quite an accomplished diver toward the end of his life.
Or Thornton Melon!
Triple Lindy libelz

Mina is a good mommy who loves her babby-boy. They are adorbs!
And she wishes I had Jocko the Walrus' schlong.....
Forgetful Lucy, she bumped her head like Gary Busey.....
Walruses bring out the I.I.Rabi in me: "Who ordered that?"
Narwhals are even worse in that department.
Narwals are just figments of our imaginations. I mean, they have to be.
Simba told me that there are no real narwhals. They are actually CIA-made spy robots.
Some of them fly.
The flying pseudo Narwhals are a real problem and it's getting worse!
Up there with the contrails making the begonias funny...
Ukraine is starting to use them to counter Russian drones.
Tsk, tsk tusk.
She’s multitusking
As any good mother must.
hee!
Someone should make a toy line of babby animals and create a faux-scarcity market around them. I bet it won't lead to any controversy whatsoever...
Daddy's home.
Walrus is all like, "Haz U seen mah BUCKET!?"
LOLrus!
"It's an older meme, Sir, but it checks out."
Yeah, eww.

Ah, well, his myrmidons are another story, entirely!
Trump's latest suit against E. Jean Carroll, the Wall Street Journal, his endless sabotaging of any Iranian peace and his constant whining that the 2020 election was "rigged" are all part of his psychosis that he must never been a loser. Only a loser whines this much.
(he's the biggest loser)
Fattest
I don't wanna go to the next story. I got to TABS late. BOO!
I recommend stamping your feet and sticking out your lower lip. Works for me in all situations.
I went to see what the next story is and GODDAMMITTOHELL!
Donnie has turned the DOJ into his personal retribution squad. This nation has fallen so far, so fast.
I think we ALL expected it this time around. I wish we had been wrong.
So we’re supposed to believe Trump’s life is in so much danger from outside forces that he needs a militarized bunker ballroom, and now he’s gonna sit out on the lawn under a spotlight?
Why, yes, of course. Wait....you're not trying to think logically and rationally, are you? That will never do!
My first thought on wtf is on Trump's neck: It's shingles.
He really should see a doctor about that.
😳
I keep putting the vaccine off. I really need to do that.
Yes!
My wife came down with a case of it, and she was only 40 at the time. We didn't get the vaccine because it's typically recommended at age 50.
I have a granddaughter who had shingles at 15. ..the majority of my grandchildren were born pre-chickenpox vaccine. I think the guidelines are changing now, taking medical history, etc., into consideration.
Don't delay. I got mine. Many years ago, I had shingles (drank my way into it). You do not want to have shingles.
More training at work today. We have 5-6 weeks of training because of a court order.
Not even halfway done.
Honestly it’s better than having to do real work, but still.

And MAHA hasn't put a stop to it? I'm surprised.
Good morning. I agree, I don't think Pam Bondi had cancer AT ALL. That's just another lie on to of all the other LIES.
