Yep, good music. Blues mixed with a dash of Eagles harmony and Moody Blues melodies. Surprised I haven't run into this before.

Ooh, Kansas is good stuff too. Not familiar with Lenny Kravitz; must be a newer artist than what I mentioned...

Throw in some Eagles from the 70's, and if you are in the mood for more easy listening stuff, Moody Blues will hit the spot.

This. Is. Appalling.
I use delivery svcs regularly. I don't care what they are paid by the app owner; I never tip less than $5 and have tipped as much as $20. I am so grateful for these people who work so hard to make my life easy.
If you can't afford to tip decently, you can't afford the service.

Wikipedia is a valuable resource that I appreciate highly. I added it to my (small) annual donation list a few years ago. I don't have a lot of money so I am very selective who gets any.
I am not knowledgeable enough to volunteer as an editor, but I hope that others can fulfill those needs.

Believe it or not, I do know a Christian (he ran for office and lost) who publicly stated that atheists could not honestly take the oath of office. Here is a screenshot of what he said; my reply to him got me banned temporarily by him from his Facebook page.

And MO will be added to this list in October 2026 as the federal gov't approved their waiver application.
Why do they insist on punching down on people who are having a hard time? Does it make them feel powerful to deny poor children occasional treats? This is atrocious.

From the article: "..Jeanine Pirro’s office said Jason would place the threatening calls from inside Voice of America’s offices.."
Not only was this an ignorant act on his part that deserves punishment, he was an idiot for placing those calls from a location that was easily traced.

This is a blatant lie.
I reviewed my YTD spending recently. With no lifestyle changes my total spend is up about 7 to 8% over 2024. No big unexpected expenses; the majority of this increase happened in utilities (electric, water, phone), groceries, and entertainment (my satellite tv).

This straight, white, Christian woman finds this absolutely disgusting. Admiral Rachel Levine is a highly qualified and very respected doctor who served this country with honor. We owe her much gratitude for her stellar service.
The same cannot be said for the current administration.

My favorite band ever, and John Lodge helped them earn that distinction from me.
This is a great loss in the music world. Rest in peace, John.

And you think I didn't know about these things? Son, I KNOW you. You have always procrastinated on stuff that lost your interest. I know you remember the times I came down on you hard due to my frustration with this...
You still do the same thing. And I still love you 😊

Completely off topic here, but I have to tell you that your arm tats are really beautiful. They are probably some of the best looking tats I have ever seen.
And no, I don't have tats myself. Never had any desire to have them either. But I do appreciate the artistry in some I have seen.

Those markings look like a Bengal cat. Does it have a tail that puffs out when it is alerting on something? That breed is an excellent stealth tracker and hunter.
My first impression was "Shadow". Only visible when it wants to be...

Happy Anniversary to both of you! It warms my heart to see a couple that obviously are just as much in love as they were when they married.

Good. This resident of a red rural MO area supports you 1000%.
I hope you also plan to sue over the initiative petition process changes if passed. They are blatantly illegal by making one set of rules for voting on them and a completely different set of rules for all other votes.

And this shows the reason I have turned off reposts in my main timeline. I have no interest in seeing trolls boosted by someone that I follow.
@mcuban.bsky.social I do like much of your conversation, but have no interest in reading things that I would just block if seen elsewhere.

This Keynes quote in your article sums it up perfectly: "Market investors, he argued, pay little attention to the question of what assets are truly worth."
This is precisely why I contend that the stock market is nothing more than a gamblers den.

And 5 of those 6 people have no idea what being your own boss entails.
I was one of them until I actually tried running my own business. It was the hardest, most stressful “job” I ever had, and I have worked for some pretty lousy bosses.
A few years of that made me realize I wanted no more of it.

As you know, I used that sig for good reason 😏
The changes at the BLS definitely fit the quote. We can no longer trust the accuracy of price and labor statistics as it has been made clear that only favorable numbers are to be reported. This will impact everyone whether they realize it or not.
