I had considered purchasing an Oura ring b/c I like to collect data and health information. But . . . then I read this.

No Oura for me and I recommend everyone avoid. Save your money and stop helping the Nazis get richer.

Timeline cleanse #2:

I am fascinated by architecture and the creative abilities of architects who also must engineer safe and effective buildings.

Love the round features and curves everywhere at my hotel. Cannot find an angle anywhere!

Timeline cleanse.

Day and night in paradise this week. Note the fantastic "Blood Moon" . . . rare and beautiful.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social has supposedly been here on Bluesky for 2 years, yet has only 2 posts.

Is it really him?

And if it is: Why is Gavin Newsom forsaking us here on Bluesky?

Note to MAGA:

Average price of eggs since 1980 was HIGHEST in March 2025. Who was president in March 2025????

Yeah, that guy who promised you if elected he would fix all that on day one. He made the price of eggs & EVERYTHING -- worse.

Revolt people!

When Gov Kathy Hochul was asked about the ICE arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, she said:

“It’s bullshit."

We should be saying that every day about Trump and all things Trump. B/c it IS ALL BULLSHIT.

Cut the niceties. B/c:
This is the Bullshit Presidency.
Trump is the Bullshitter-in-Chief.

Unsurprisingly, Trump’s garish redecoration of the White House is totally aligned w/ Saddam Hussein & other dictators.

His redecorated Oval Office in classic dictator style -- "flashy, gold, porn-baron, casino style" now harmonizes w/ his gross homes.

Will ‪@peteryork.bsky.social update the book?

I'm sorry, SimpleHuman and also Katie Merz, but how is this not just Keith Haring?????

I mean, I like it, but sure seems derivative??

The tariff amount is also subject to sales tax.

Most widely accepted definition of a recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP.

Trump has given us the 1st negative quarter. In Q1, GDP dipped by 0.3%. Negative GDP.

If Q2 is negative, we will have a formal recession.

Trump took our economy and trashed it. Instantly.

No one is talking much about how disastrous this tariff fuckery is on small business. They are being whipsawed and don't typically have the resources to keep up and adapt.

Here is a note from a small business I buy from. Very high quality product and they are likely going to get killed by tariffs.

Of course those effing Wall Street billionaires self-congratulate at ANY opportunity.

Ugh.

We are still in a big, giant mess they created and they WILL profit from at the expense of every non-million-billionaire in America.

Why do we keep voting for this????

Congratulations to American historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social, Winner of the 2025 Moynihan Prize awarded by American Academy of Political and Social Science (AAPSS) !!

Follow him here on Bluesky for his insights on authoritarianism, tyranny, int'l human rights, & the Russian war against Ukraine.

Trumpists say the economy slump is b/c of Biden policies. This forecast by the AtlantaFed doesn't show a downward trend that started months ago.

Looks like the economy was humming along until someone took a sledgehammer to it, maybe by making a fake-trade war, or by slashing a bunch of govt jobs.

More from the FAFO crowd . . . just finding out it does NOT feel good when the leopard eats YOUR face.

B/c they bought that "DEI and wokeness is ruining the country" CRAP.

F*ckers.

Here we go -- Dividing the world into 3 totalitarian Superstates. Exactly as in Orwell's dystopian novel "1984."

Trump making his moves to secure "his" area.

1) Western Hemisphere: run by Trump (Oceania - black)

2) Asia: run by China (Eastasia - yellow)

3) Europe: run by Russia (Eurasia - red)

Another dismal day at Trump's stock market.

Who EVER thought the guy who bankrupted casinos was good with financial decisions?

I did this! Here is the response.

Encourage others too.

Best response to co-president Musk's demand of federal workers:

What I did last week:

1. did not give you up
2. did not let you down
3. did not run around and desert you
4. did not make you cry
5. did not say goodbye

Bonus accomplishment in voluntary overtime:
- did not tell a lie and hurt you
