Solution-minded, data-oriented, unconventional thinking… attributes that seem threatening to some. To appease myself, I write Pulitzer-worthy satirical, humorist essays. Often overthink. Wife says I’m ‘extra.’ Public safety executive.

This scene from #Stepbrothers is an accurate representation of America at the dinner table.

NGC 300 is moving away from us - I wonder how much further in the last six million years it took for that light to reach us?

One day this #MAGA house of cards is going to come crashing down. I know we’re going down with it, but we’ll know who the assholes were when we rebuild. #evileye #stinkeye

An image of a woman on a beachfront holding a sign that reads “Trump is a cunt.” She’s reaching out to high-five a uniformed Scottish law enforcement officer who stands in agreement.

We apologize for the visit, but stand in solidarity with #Scotland.

Another rant on Truth Social by our stupid president. Probably his longest yet. It’s so long that BlueSky is truncating the AltText:

“What's going on with my "boys" and, in some cases, "gals?" They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We're on one Team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and "selfish people" are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it's Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51
"Intelligence" Agents, "THE LAPTOP FROM HELL," and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called "friends" are playing right into their hands. Why didn't these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn't they use it? They haven't even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it's never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on…

Remember when #Trump said that his "two greatest assets" were "mental stability and being, like, really smart"?

And that his achievements qualified him as "not smart, but genius....and a very #stablegenius at that"?

Those were the times. 🙄

This is a mock of the new Superman poster, showing Trump dressed as Superman. He’s launching “proudly” into the sky, with the iconic “S” shield on his chest. 

Reads:

“A Trump Presidency

• Truth
• Justice
• The American Way

Superman”

Then literally shows the The White House name and logo at the bottom. It was put out by the White House and listed on Truth Social.

#Infringement 101 for idiots in the #WhiteHouse:

▶️ #Copyright Infringement: Character of #Superman, stories, depictions

▶️ #Trademark Infringement: The name, iconic "S" shield logo, associated phrases

It’s not parody, nor is it fair use. #Superman is owned by #DC. (The comics, not #Washington.)

These “markdown” prices aren’t much less than when I paid about $20 each, shipped in sets of two, directly from Eaglemoss.

A must-see from producer #RonHoward. True story of 47 tourists and guides trapped off the coast of #NewZealand by a volcanic eruption in 2019.

Civilian air and boat operators don’t hesitate to organize a rescue when the government deemed it unsafe.

There is a Wireless Emergency Alert program through the NWS. These seem to come directly to wireless carriers.

If you have an iPhone, go to Settings > Notifications and scroll to the bottom to turn these on.

I receive them from the NWS via SMS, but only because I’m an emergency manager.

A tweet from the ever inspiring Marjorie Taylor Greene writes:

“I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense.

I have been researching weather modification and working with the legislative counsel for months writing this bill.

It will be similar to Florida's Senate Bill 56.

We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.”

She is such an idiot. FFS.

It took extreme #meteorologicalconditions and scores of deaths in #Texas for republicans to finally address the root cause.

It has nothing to do with 1 out of 4 #NOAA professionals losing their jobs since Trump took office in January.

People modifying sunlight intensity: #MAGA is on to you.

I’m amazed his video was preserved - unless it was live streamed. These ICE “officers” are reckless and would just soon destroy the devices used to record them.
