Data loving/storing/managing/manipulating geek!

More than five decades as a Type 1 diabetic. Always trying to become a better person.
This is an example of a guy who has done things right with his daughter.

Reading the book with her is noteworthy.

Going to the movie with her is amazing.

Taking her to dinner just adds the “chef’s kiss” to the job well done.

Congratulations sir for being an amazingly good parent!
Tomorrow is a Dad-Daughter Day for us.

We're going to see the film To Kill A Mockingbird at a retro theater in our town square.

It's a special film for us. We read that book to each other at night when she was 12 years old.

Then we're going out to dinner...Dad's treat.

I can't wait.❤️

Oh this ban is SO shortsighted!

There are good reasons to bring botchulism or black plague samples to universities for study.

There are equally valid reasons to bring Big Macs, KFC, and even some items from “Mexican“ chains to Milan.

But this is for study, NOT for consumption!!!

You do not, under any circumstances, for any reason whatsoever, in any possible scenario, bring American food TO Milan.

Trying to find the “worst” thing on the internet is hopeless… “The Internet” is a big container, a huge biome, and parts just get disgusting by their nature.

The x post is definitely a candidate though!
I found the dumbest most pathetic post on the internet today:

I’m puzzled.

After his post about the Obama’s overnight on Pravda USA (aka TruthSocial.com) Donald Trump is obviously an @$$

Which seems weird because he has no bottom.

How does that work???

I’m ok with being a thousand and two. I think this is that important.

This video is pure British humor dolloped liberally over pretty accurate reporting.

It makes the ICE-holes look like proper ummm, ICE-holes!
It’s comforting to hear the truth being told thousands of miles away while the Trump administration is brutality and lies 24/7 and Democrats tell us to calm down.

This video was posted 19 hours ago and already has 325,000 Iikes.

If you want my business, get into Tom Homan’s database.

If you aren’t on that list, you just aren’t trying hard enough!
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Thugs like this who are threatening people on the street need to be contained.

They can’t control their temper and make a point of telling you that. Keep them away from the public. Disarm them and keep them safe from themselves and keep the public safe from them.

I will do everything in my power to replace every politician that is not clearly and LOUDLY opposing the terrorists within ICE and CBP.

There could be good people in those organizations. They should get due process, but NOTHING more.

Not another dollar, not another grenade, not another bullet.

Oh yes! This would be glorious.

It would fix so many problems so properly. I think this is a glorious idea!
Beyond wonderful! Do it. We're already half-into The Handmaid's Tale anyway, though Atwood's Gilead map was absurd. No way Gilead - or MAGA - is gonna get California or the rest of the west, either.

I’m not in Michigan, but that employee is willing to speak truth to power. Even at high potential personal cost.

That attribute alone makes the employee INCREDIBLY valuable!

I’d be very willing to bet that the employee has lots of other valuable properties.
Michigan! I love you.
Amazing, a Ford worker called Trump a “pedophile protector” during his visit to an assembly plant in Michigan today.

In return, Trump, who has failed to release the Epstein files, yelled, “fuck you” and flipped off the worker.

Is Homan saying that these ICE employees are unable to control their temper and will kill American citizens if those employees think that the citizens are calling them names?

Get mentally unstable armed employees off the streets. They need to be in carefully managed ICE office buildings

I was a big fan of Hilton and an HHonors member for years. Hilton has decided to support lawless thugs. I’m not willing to stay with thugs.

Are any other major hotel chains like Marriot.com, Hyatt.com, etc. offering an exchange of status, or do I just delete my HHonors account and start over?
This is quick and easy and another way to delete your Hilton Honors account.
Apparently they have a web page for this. www.hilton.com/en/hilton-ho...

@Gofundme.com needs to suspend all of the funding for the ICE employees that killed citizens while on duty. The government will protect those employees appropriately.

Any attempt to collect any funds by or for those employees is a crime, and a scam.

Don’t be an accomplice to murder.

Yay for the Sheriff of Philadelphia! Real Law Enforcement Officers, Police, and Sheriffs need to stand up like this and defend each other and themselves. They need to hold the masked hoodlums running armed in our streets accountable.

They have my backing, I have their backs!
Bravo to the Sheriff of Philly!

The image is certainly amusing. It seems like a waste of good food, but possibly a performance art piece that could develop a following if you advertised and staged it right.

Assuming you survive the attempt I’d be interested in the follow up. Especially if it’s published!

I haven’t heard ANYONE trying to vilify real law enforcement officers.

People definitely ARE vilifying the masked, armed, lawless thugs that are killing innocent people.

I don’t care who you voted for or why. No reasonable people voted for gangs of armed thugs on our streets.
Ah well. Can't disagree here really. Americans did vote for masked agents of the state to kill innocent people, whether they understood that at the time or not. Too bad they didn't listen to anyone who tried to explain it to them bsky.app/profile/atru...

ICE agents killing people in the streets. The naked extortion of a sovereign state. The National Guard unleashed in American cities. The Justice Department weaponized to prosecute political opponents.

The tyranny is on full display — and it's waking America up.

I now have the “Lung crud” that afflicted most of my family over the holidays.

I’m contemplating the once unthinkable… Brewing a pot of thermonuclear grade coffee.

Now where did I put my aqua regia???

Amen to this! Bring back unions, and make unionized shops the “cost of entry” for professional trades.

America turned its collective back on the trades. The skills and people in those trades are what form both the backbone and the foundation of the life we take for granted.

Bring back unions!
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
