The award was fake, too.

Is it a hognose snake? I see the upturned lip and remember the color pattern. We had hognose snakes around here in the wild when I was growing up, but I haven't seen one in 40 years.

The money the tech billionaires control will disappear in the crash. The big numbers are the overinflated value of the promises they can't deliver.

US citizens who are atheists, non-religious, or non-Christians can no longer trust the US military, which has become a Christian Nationalist Crusader army.

So when do folks turn away? When school ends, it's back to the church every weekend.

Iโ€™ll put it on the record, I believe that the Republican Party is currently engaged in the ruination of my country for their own personal benefit. I have never been a big fan of political parties, but that party is illegitimate. I will never support anyone with an R next to their name.

The local groundhog is sneaking around in our backyard leaves. We see him from our window, and he sees us watching him.

Works both ways. When conservatives criticize a liberal presidents, they express contempt for the voters who put them there, too. Right?

They are so fanatical for Trump because he's all they've got. The Republicans were headed for the dustbin of history, their politicians corrupt, their ideology bankrupt. They cling to Trump like a savior, their last chance at power. He could have any policies, or none, no matter, so long as he won.

Wonder if Trump's War will wake up MAGA to how much they've been lied to. They think they voted for an anti-war, anti-interventionist president, and look what they got - a nation-toppling interventionist warmonger, just like the neoconservatives they so hated.

If they insist on burning the place down, rebuild with a social democracy putting people first, money and corporations last.

AI was rushed out unfinished because they need more money to finish the job. They spent all their money on the 80% easy part, and they can't complete the final hard 20% without massive new amounts of money.

Exploding ordinance was common in the US Civil War, several types, and widely used, against men and ships. Timed and contact fuses were used. Many were set to explode in the air and scatter shrapnel and grapeshot. Below is an article about the person I remember.

Cannonballs found here are dangerous and liable to explode. I knew someone who'd mangled his hand in an explosion trying to defuse a American Civil War cannonball he'd found.

Some people need to find a new Jesus. There's lots of them out there. It might be better if they gave up religion altogether, but at minimum, they need to find a new Jesus.

Wait until you find the services your insurance covers but the provider won't accept insurance payments for that service. Optometrists and dentists refuse insurance payments for services that your insurance will normally cover.

During the V-10 era, the older fans would never shut up about the V-12 cars.
