Whistles are everywhere. Businesses have been giving them out free. People blow them upon seeing ICE to warn their neighbors.

He was at a protest in Minneapolis He wasn’t at a protest. Had just come out of a restaurant. In none of the footage is there more than a few dozen people, no signs. Actual protests here now draw tens

I can’t remember the last time I watched “broadcast” TV.

We still have Netflix. Four people in the household so there’s always something that one of us wants. Yeah, the short attention span thing is real, at least for some of what I’ve seen. Seems like Apple

We watched the 1972 version of Sleuth the other day. In it, Laurence Olivier twice pronounced St. John as sinjin. Really? Is that how it would be pronounced in Britain? Great movie, BTW.

What did he get? Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. And, pathetically, he pretended he got a “framework” from the NATO General Secretary. Who has zero say over Denmark/Greenland’s internal politics.

All the while, Putin chuckles to himself. We’ve had a good run. All empires eventually crumble. Some due to outside forces, some like ours due to hubris and corrupt leadership.

Trump is not going to get Greenland. Just not happening. Unlike him, it’s not for sale. And Europe is sending troops to protect it.

Minnesota headline from the late seventies or early eighties: Fertile Man Killed in Climax A guy from Fertile, Minnesota died in a vehicle crash while driving in Climax, Minnesota.

Do you think Canada would really take us?? A boy can dream.

Not a chance. It’s all about oil. There will be smiles in the Chevron boardroom.

For me typically two cups in the morning and another cup or maybe two when I’m out running errands. Which is less than it used to be. At least I’ve stopped coffee after 2pm. Would be very hard to cold

Oh and I think I managed a post every day for 2025 but no idea where my badge is

I’m only 50 pages into Mrs Dalloway. So far liking it very much and surprised that a novel from a hundred years ago can at times seem so modern.

In the U.S., safety net welfare programs for the poor and lower-middle class are always full-blown disasters but governmental corporate welfare seems to muddle through just fine. Weird.

ukronazi is drivel so insta-mute.

The attack undoubtedly happened… Based on anything other than what Putin/Medvedev claimed? No “neutral” confirmation. No video footage of it flooding the intertubes. Trump may have regurgitated it, but

Pretty much the same start to my days. Except that now that I’m an old guy, peeing takes priority. 😅 And I’ve only posted on 349 days so far this year. You’re a beast.
