It is wild, if not surprising I guess, that whether people could fly somewhere at Thanksgiving seemed to have more political effect than whether people could *eat* at Thanksgiving.

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Just haven’t had the drive to get out and clean up the garden for the fall over the last few weeks, but finally got out today to cut back the sunchokes and bring some of them in. It looks like a bumper crop.

I think the most revealing thing about these folks is that they literally cannot conceive of the idea of doing something for its own sake. I think that’s why they’re so collectively miserable
Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Still laughing at the irony of the PEI gov’t putting out a radio ad telling me to “plan ahead” because the road construction project they announced 17 weeks ago that was to start 11 weeks ago and be done 2 weeks ago is today finally getting underway.

So from all of these headlines:
I’m concluding that an autonomous vehicle, a SUV took it upon itself to drive through a window, into a classroom, crash into children and adults and kill one of them.
Will police hold the manufacture responsible?
Why remove the driver from this?

I think the great hope here is that nothing migrates *from* their balls
RFK Jr. taps his top deputy, Jim O’Neill, to be the new CDC director. Both men appear to wear skinny ties from Otaa. Otaa's ties are made in China from microfiber, a kind of plastic that, under the right conditions, can migrate to your balls.
