Data is for nerds/libtards/woke Antifa criminals. That's why the Trump administration (following Project 2025) is working SO HARD to eliminate all numbers, along with those bizarre and probably perverted things that mathematicians do with them, which they taught to economists, who taught the other social sciences. And now look where we are.

So...no more data. Not on inflation--it's your imagination! Not on climate--just so nice 'n' balmy! And definitely not on "election integrity," a thing that we want you to think is a problem when it never has been, but that's how we get to keep YOU from voting.

“Repeal the 2009 scientific finding “

I didn’t know we can just repeal laws of nature. I’m going to have to remember that. There is so much I want to repeal when I finally get access to Obama’s Time Machine.

1. What is the plan for when the satellites DO fail?

2. Once NASA gets a piece of equipment working, it tends to stay working for a long time. The first Mars Rover outlived its expected usability many times over. V-ger is still out there coasting towards a distant star. Do we have any way of knowing how much longer these weather satellites are likely to last?

People in general are not good at fixing problems at an early state (think of climate change). trumpsters are absolutely, 100%, dedicated to not fixing problems--they're too busy causing them.

"...but we have a president who says the science doesn’t matter and carbon dioxide is harmless now."

For research purposes only, TACO could lock himself in a garage with a vehicle running and see how that works out for him. If it is harmless than he will be fine, right?

You would have to correct for carbon mono-oxide somehow.

Possible explanation: The DOD, despite Hegseth's "leadership", is still run by people who (i) take seriously their duty to our country, (ii) haven't yet sucumbed to Project 2025, and (iii) aren't fuckwits.

For now.

OT. Warning: Not a well done study.

"Men Born in the Summer Are More Likely to Be Depressed, Study Finds

Researchers have found a link between the timing of one's birth and a later risk of depression symptoms, but only in men."

Fortunately I'm a Scorpio. We're happy as clams. And don't let any astrologist say otherwise! They lie when they say we're more likely to sting you than hug you. This is not true. We're born huggers. Just because we don't believe in astrology doesn't mean they have to bag on us. It's the Geminis you need worry about: Split personalities, the lot of them.

How happy are clams on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being an ecstatically happy clam?

They NEVER allow me to donate blood, dammit. First my blood pressure was too LOW and since then I've always been refused because of my weight.

I'm O+ and know that my blood type is the universal variety generally well tolerated by all human beings in emergencies regardless of their blood type.

It's been VERY frustrating.

As has this entire fucking miserable gawd damned day.
