C'mon, people, put something into your bio!!!
I get dozens of followers each day, and since I DON'T *automatically* follow back, your bio is the first port of call about deciding whether I go to your timeline and evaluate whether I should follow you or not.
No bio - no chance.
(Usually, anyway:)

It's the same answer as for pretty much everything that could be better with air transport: "It'd cost more".

From the official website, "There are 338 candidates nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025, of which 244 are individuals and 94 are organizations", but somehow she was the best choice??

Just another thing that religious nutjobs have f'ed up in our society:(
There shouldn't *be* a *need* for legislation - it *should* be simply another medical procedure, with exactly the same consideration one gives to any other basic operation or course of treatment.

I have yet to hear about them going after the "drug dealers", "gangs", and other criminals that they *claim* as their entire justification for hating "immigrants" ... might it be because those groups might actually be able to fight back???

Agreed.
I occasionally buy a ticket (here in Australia) for the RSL Lotteries (the "Returned Soldiers' League") where it's something in the order of 1 in a million to win - so I know that's it extremely unlikely to do so, but I also feel better about making a donation to help veterans in need.

The US power grid is comically exposed, there is no reliable air defence over DC or the pentagon, Mar-a-lago has no maritime defense, the Northern and Southern borders are weak…
Yeah, sure, pick a war with Europe and Canada and Mexico.

Can the Nobel Committee please retract the Peace Prize from her? She's stoking the fires of war by appeasing Trumpf, and I don't think that that sort of behaviour is worthy of a world-recognised *Peace* Prize.
It's like if they had awarded it to Neville Chamberlain in 1938-39.

AND!! as an added bonus, when the area floods, it turns into one of the most comfortable airboats ...
![An airboat (also known as a bayou boat, fanboat, planeboat, or swamp boat) is a flat-bottomed watercraft propelled by an aircraft-type propeller and powered by either an aircraft or automotive engine.[a] It is commonly used for fishing, hunting, recreation, and ecotourism.
Airboats are a common means of transportation in marshy or shallow areas where a standard inboard or outboard engine with a submerged propeller would be impractical, most notably in the Florida Everglades but also in the Kissimmee and St. Johns rivers, and the Mekong River and Delta, as well as the Louisiana bayous and Mesopotamian Marshes.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:62h3ba5uyblhbpoqqo3g4rqa/bafkreia2trs6y6giindujijcalunbha3g75gf7nn42stdqkhsp5ka5ykby@jpeg)

At least 2 Senators have said "All Powell has to do is talk to Pirro and tell her he's going to resign and Trump will drop the charges."
So here we have 2 sitting US Senators admitting the President is illegally extorting the chairman of The Fed. Admitting crimes out loud, on TV.
WTAF.

And at the same time, by even attempts it - even though he/his advisors *should* know that A) it is illegal, and B) it would be immediately struck down by most courts and almost certainly congress - he will GUARANTEE a landslide loss in the mid-terms.

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

People both good and bad can "go to prison", but If you say "to avoid the just consequences of their actions" it gives a much better picture of just what giant POSes they truly are.
