Looking around at the clown show in my state reinforces my decision to relocate somewhere sane. Voter turnout is low so the extremists hold sway and those that get elected make horrid policies that hurt everyone, even the extremist voters. Rinse, repeat ad nauseam.

Alright I have a question for *all of you*, esp for those of you who are not into environment stuff.
When you think about planting native plants in the area you control, what *prevents* you from taking that action? These could be emotional, financial, practical, anything.
RTs appreciated here.

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How's the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And who is George Santos endorsing for mayor of New York City?

Hegseth should detox in Ft. Leavenworth for the next 10-20 years. The DoD is compromised at the very top.
NBC News confirms: Pete Hegseth used his personal phone to send information about U.S. military operations in Yemen to a Signal chat including his wife, brother and personal lawyer, two sources with knowledge confirmed to NBC News. @MSNBC

Trump requiring Americans present a $165 passport to vote isn't a poll tax.
It's a Democracy Tariff.

I’m learning every day. Today’s lesson:
Stupidity is a lack of critical thinking.
Stupidly is not a lack of intelligence.
Smart people can make stupid decisions.
Power creates isolation, isolation leads to sycophancy, sycophancy leads to stupidity.
Stupidly is a choice.

Indiana has a low voter turnout and that results in unqualified people winning elections.
Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.
He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.
The job was helping people with disabilities.

Thoughts on Signal gate, as someone who spent 19 yrs at CIA. I'm thinking of all the times I accidentally brought my phone into the office and had to not only immediately walk it across the massive parking lot to my car, but report myself to security. Do that too many times=real repercussions

Oh time change: why are you here? Let us consider picking a time and sticking to that time. Let us forget this semiannual silliness.

We’re working on getting our house in order and taking care of loose threads. Saving money against the coming night seems more important than ever these days.

Feel kind of ghoulish shopping the closing sale at Jo Ann’s but I guess money coming in, even at the end of the business, is still money coming in to pay the workers.

Authoritarianism quickly reveals how thin the veneer of civilization actually is. Once systems are weakened the ugly mess kept at bay becomes more evident. Sadly some people in power read the CIA manual for destabilizing governments and are applying those techniques internally. The tree rots within.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the “Murderbot Diaries” book series by Martha Wells. They’re quick, fun reads and the protagonist really grows on you.

Norovirus is no joke. Make sure to wash your hands before eating (good idea anyway) since norovirus is passed via contact to hands then hand to mouth.

What I Learned Reporting in Cities That Take Belongings From Homeless People
