If a high school student cited Door Dash statistics to support anything they wrote for school, they would get an F on the paper, fail the class, their parents would be called in to the school to discuss putting them on a Special Education path.

Stunning pictures from Egypt's comprehensive Tutankhamen Exhibit -- the first time his complete burial items are displayed in a single museum. Stunning.

So the White House hosted a Halloween event for children and NEITHER Pres Trump nor Melania dressed up?

Trump wore his nasty wrinkled blue suit, red tie and bad hair day MAGA hat?

And they gave out treats from Easter baskets?

What in the name of Little St. James was this horror show?
President Donald Trump in his wrinkled blue suit with Resting Frowny Face, and first lady Melania Trump, wearing a buttoned up blah-blah-beige trench coat and signature nasty look on her face, hold baskets as they hand out treats during a Halloween event at the White House in Washington, D.C.

I have an unshakeable belief that fortune cookies come true.

Not because of some woo woo magic. But because you are inspired by them, and work, consciously and subconsciously, to make them come true.

Today I cleaned my desktop and found 3 old fortunes under my desk pad. [🥰Smiles in motivation😁]

Besides being incredibly competent and ethical, there's the added bonus that she looks like a grown up Campbell's Soup Kid.

We all need a bit more nostalgic comfort (food) in our lives right now.

Maybe this is just part of Trump's continuing crusade against elite universities, and President Petro recently received a job offer which would lead to his relocation to NYC.

If I had to guess, it's that stupid thing where someone has a crappy, gross bathtub, but instead of removing it, and re-grouting tile like a normal person, they skimp on cost (NOTE slumlord said he did it) and slap a molded single piece of preformed crap over the existing tub. NEW BATH IN ONE DAY!

How is it we have a "leader" who praises Global Dictators and War Criminals, while simulaneosly ordering masked secret police to beat Americans for exercising Constitutionally protected Free Speech, and threatening to arrest state Governors and other politicians for [checks notes] doing their jobs.

A worrisome rise of Biometric Scanning:

The 29 Schengen area countries of the EU are now logging travellers’ faces, fingerprints, and entry and exit dates instead of stamping passports.

Considering US poor protection against hacking, we should fear even more JPMorgan NY HQ's doing the same thing.
Europe’s new biometric border checks: what do non-EU travellers need to know? Visitors arriving in any of the Schengen area’s 29 countries will have their faces and fingerprints scanned under the new entry/exit system The European Union is preparing to dispense with passport stamps in favour of a new digital border management system. Australians and most citizens of other non-EU countries travelling to Europe from Sunday 12 October may encounter the new biometric entry/exit system (EES) and, while it might create delays at the start, it should eventually offer a streamlined process. Here’s what travellers need to know. More at https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2025/oct/07/europe-new-biometric-border-checks-what-do-non-eu-travellers-need-to-know?CMP=headlineseurope_email JP Morgan staff told they must share biometric data to access headquarters Investment bank had previously planned for such information from New York workers to be voluntary JP Morgan Chase has told staff moving into its new headquarters in New York that they must share their biometric data to access the multibillion-dollar building. The investment bank had previously planned for the registering of biometric data by employees at its new Manhattan skyscraper to be voluntary. However, employees of the US’s biggest bank who have started work at the headquarters since August have received emails saying that biometric access was “required”, according to communications seen by the Financial Times. Jamie Dimon Head of largest US bank warns of risk of American stock market crash Read more Biometric access requires staff to scan their fingerprints or eye to gain access through security gates in the lobby instead of swiping their ID badges. The bank’s headquarters, which cost a reported $3bn (£2.25bn) to build, will eventually be a base for 10,000 employees once it is fully occupied later this year. JP Morgan declined to comment but it is understood that the use of biometric data for access is designed to make the building more secure. There are exemptions for some employees who will still be able to use a badge for access, the Guardian understands, although the criteria for who will use more traditional ID access is unclear.

How It Started Flower Power photograph by Bernie Boston, taken during the March on the Pentagon, October 21, 1967 was nominated for the 1967 Pulitzer Prize. Iconic "Flower Power"photo, where anonymous protestor of Vietnam War placed daisy flowers into rifles pointed at the protestors. The imagery in this photo was a factor in American popular opinion turning against the Vietnam War. Portland Protest Frog dancing and shaking boogeyman man hands and her ass at semi-automatic weapon-toting ICE and National Guard who agreed to commit Treason by violating their Oath to the US Constitution in exchange for bounty payments.

I just received notice through Indeed of a post for a high-level Senior Justice Advisor at the U.S. Department of State. A policy position placed at the Embassy in Senegal.

Let this sink in. There are so few people willing to work for Marco Rubio's State Department they post publicly on Indeed.
Job posting by Creative Corrections, LLC for Senior Justice Advisor - BF Full job description Creative Corrections is actively recruiting exceptional candidates to be considered for a Senior Justice Advisor position located in Washington, DC. This will be a contract role within the U.S. Department of State. The U.S. Department of State is the lead institution for the conduct of American diplomacy and the Secretary of State is the President’s principal foreign policy advisor. The Department of State’s mission is to advance U.S. national security interests, fight terrorism, protect U.S. interests abroad, and implement foreign policy initiatives that build a freer, prosperous, and secure world. The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) keeps Americans safe at home by countering international crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad. INL helps countries deliver justice and fairness by strengthening their police, courts, and corrections systems. These efforts reduce the amount of crime and illegal drugs reaching U.S. shores. INL’s Office of Africa and the Middle East Programs (INL/AME) provides policy guidance and develops, executes, and monitors programs to address the full range of criminal justice issues as they relate to rule of law and police reform activities in Senegal. INL’s goal for Senegal is that it remains a stable and secure country in the West African region that facilitates U.S. foreign policy and security goals in the region. INL provides foreign assistance to Senegalese criminal justice institutions so that law enforcement deters crime and maintains citizen security and public order, so that citizens have improved access to justice and the judicial sector, and the corrections system is more effectively and humanely managed. POSITION DESCRIPTION The Senior Justice Advisor’s (SJA’s) primary responsibility will be to support, assist, and advise the INL Coordinator at the U.S. Embassy in Dakar and work with INL/Dakar staff at the Embassy, as well as the INL Senegal Program Officer in INL/AME. These efforts include increasing the capacity of the Senegalese criminal justice system to deter and sanction criminality and protect victims’ rights, including pre-trial detention and cases involving Trafficking in Persons (TIP), sexual- and gender- based violence (SGBV) and vulnerable populations (women, children, elderly, and gay/lesbian/transgender). The SJA is responsible for monitoring, advising, and collaborating with INL project coordinators and INL’s implementing personnel to ensure high quality training, mentoring, and technical assistance, as well as proper design and implementation of programs to foster institutional capacity and professionalization of Senegal’s criminal justice institutions. Such implementers may include the UN Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), Partners Global, and others. The SJA shall also liaise and closely coordinate with Senegal’s judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, bar associations, court staff, corrections services, investigators, other rule of law entities, and justice-oriented civil society organizations at the executive and mid-level leadership levels. The SJA shall also mentor executive, mid-level, and entry-level officers in legal, judicial, human rights, and other rule of law skills development, best practices for justice institutions, and best practices in judicial procedures and human rights observance for INL projects. The SJA additionally shall assist in strengthening Senegalese government accountability mechanisms for civilian security forces and government officials who commit crimes/human rights abuses, and could include assisting the Anti-Corruption Unit (OFNAC) and other offices, internal affairs units…

Remember how we all learned about McCarthyism in middle school (for me, twas in the 1980s).

How our naive Tween minds were shocked that such a thing could occurr in America, the Land of The Free? What we believed to be The Greatest Country On Earth?

Well, get ready for a Chapter called McCarrism.

Fat disabled people also discriminated against where medical complaints are discounted and blamed on weight.
In a car accident? Sorry, your injuries are bc you are fat.
Lose a leg from a work injury? Sorry, it's because you are fat.
We are all entitled to be believed & receive quality medical care.
