BTW, I would really like @consumerreports.org to watch this video and perhaps start breathing down the necks of those big companies for forcing everyone into using pre-dosed products.
That's the opposite of pro-consumer, imo.

“Trump haunted by visions of hell” is my favorite Trump, although I’m not totally sure what’s going on with the dude
Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

It's been hours since this, and days since the Copenhagen and Oslo airport incidents on Monday when airport airspaces were closed due to reports of airspace violations by drones.
But there's no evidence for any drones actually being in any of those locations though. Just "reports".

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

In 2019, Kirk hosted an event at my university and there were many "groypers" in attendance who harassed him and wanted him to endorse more hardline ethnonationalism (granted, he did push back). Kirk was very popular with young white men (and women), and nazis wanted to leverage him for recruitment.

Re-legalizing the density reflected in the existing built environment, by-right, citywide on already-developed residential land, is a good start.
Boston City Councilor @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social calls for a hearing “regarding legalizing construction of triple-deckers and other 2-4 unit housing in the City of Boston.”
Boston has 15,000 triple deckers & 99% of all residential parcels are currently considered “existing nonconforming.”

I occasionally go into Google Play Store to check if an app has updates that haven't been applied, and it often is the case that it does. I have automatic updates turned on. My phone is connected to wifi and plugged in every night. Why is Google Play Store not updating my apps in a timely manner?

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

every one of these guys is like “america is a distinct ethnic nation that started to be diluted by foreign influence the day after my grandpappy fled flensberg for horse thievery and settled in the dakota territory in 1877”
man. if Eric Schmitt's speech to NatCon isn't a sign of the times, i don't know what is
!["America is not a 'universal nation.' ... [American] principles are not abstractions. They are living, breathing things — rooted in a people and embodied in a way of life."
Senator Eric Schmitt got a standing ovation at Nat Con DC for saying America as a nation is the property of a distinct ethnic people.
Americans are a mix of “the most adventurous, the most courageous, the most curious and innovative” of the English, Scotch-Irish, and continental Europeans, who came as settlers and have spent hundreds of years building, fighting, and dying for "a homeland for themselves and their descendants."
"We’re a nation of settlers, explorers, and pioneers — born on the ocean waters that carried the first ships to our shores and forged in the crucible of a wild frontier. Our people tamed a continent, built a civilization from the wilderness, and wrote our nation’s name in history.
"Our ancestors were driven here by destiny, possessed by urgent and fiery conviction, by burning belief, devoted to their cause and their God."
"The Continental Army soldiers dying of frostbite at Valley Forge, Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil of Plymouth, pioneers striking out from Missouri for the wild and dangerous frontier, [and] outnumbered Kentucky settlers, repelling wave after wave of Indian war band attacks from behind their stockade walls, would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a 'proposition.'
"They believed they were forging a nation — a homeland for themselves and their descendants."
"America, in all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down across the generations.
"It belongs to us. It’s our birthright, our heritage, our destiny.
"If America is everything and everyone, then it is nothing and no one at all."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreif3x7re3lubuj7kzurj3ayotcnq2l46kwb2p5hp2zid2dagzth5nu@jpeg)

Charging $2500/month rent for a 480sqft studio on an annual lease is pretty high.
Charging an $18 one-time move in fee on top of that, is simply outrageous.
