The U.S. is on a collision course with its own history about to break fiscal records in the worst possible way. With current policies & spending, country’s national debt will surge to 120% of GDP by 2030, eclipsing previous record of 106% set right after World War II.

Annoyed that the Italian Olympics people went with slop for their ads and videos, using it to promote an event where we wonder at things like ~human skill~

Anyway, watch this really cool making of video by the BCC, they did it right

Have his supporters admitted this to themselves yet? 😮

Missed a perfect photo op:

A rooster male high up on a jaggy rock (like he was a King 👑) was crowing at a rooster across the street on a house deck. Other rooster crowed back like a street enemy. The ocean was behind him, tall flowers in the foreground. If only I could translate Rooster gang chat.

The local store has down-sized the dip containers (artichoke etc.) to an alarmingly noticeable smaller size and left the price the same as the bigger one was. Hey, Trump where are those 2k checks? 🧐

This sounds exactly like the logic of someone w/a high IQ. If you’ve ever watched #TheBigBangTheory, his reasoning makes perfect sense. 😂 #NerdAlert

I doubt he’s ever getting that woman back after this world stage blunder. He does seem sincerely regretful though.

All of the phone apps are straight-up abusing the consumer with the amount of data they are collecting on us. We need laws protecting the consumer.

They're going after students, and also the elderly, the poor, the infirm, and anyone who can't easily access or afford Voter ID, birth certificates, drivers licenses, you name it.

Here, students:
NEW: In a loss for students in North Carolina, a judge declined to open early voting sites on three college campuses in the state, including the nation’s largest HBCU.

While the ruling deals a blow to students’ attempt to restore sites ahead of the state’s upcoming primary, they can appeal.

Despite the decision, the students' lawsuit over the sites is ongoing.

I ended my short-term #Apple subscription today & #Peacock is next! I got Peacock for the #Seahawks #Superbowl and the #Olympics but I’m done with these abusers. Ending that subscription next. 🔚🛑🚫

I cannot give these greedy, #Trump-supporting males another dime. It’s a serious time.

It’s funny how I was an early adopter of everything on the web and now I loathe most of it.

It never had a practical business model that included the poor. That’s discrimination against the people who need the most help.

All this greed by so many people claiming *God* too. The abuse is endless.

We used to have one of these and I’d always put it on as a kid. I think it came from our yearly local summer festival. It ended up in the basement like everything else. I associate it with happiness and fun. #PuertoRican #PuertoRico #PavaHat
