Say what you wish about Fox News, but they certainly know their audience

The older queen of the house took some time to warm up to me but she's incredibly sweet. She usually hides from strangers so getting some soft purrs is a huge win 🥰

And his twin brother, who is a bit special 😹

Brick Queen, a woman who went viral for her gritty workout videos in her yard using only cinder blocks as weights and losing 100+ lbs, is now claiming to have telekinetic powers. Social media can really go to your head but I mean at least she's not starting a podcast or launching a meme coin?

While this prediction did not materialize, it is relevant once again now that we are essentially back in the same place regarding the Strait and hostilities. If anything, the failed peace deals avoided summer spikes but pushed the pain even closer to the November elections.

America 2026: a local broadcast station takes to social media to rally its viewers against politically-motivated threatened censorship by federal licensing authorities. This is the country supposedly founded on freedom of speech, expression, and the press?

ABC7 graphic that says:

ABC7 has profit served the Bay Area for more than 75 years. The FCC is questioning our commitment to buyers by threatening to take us off the air. Use your voice and tell the FCC that the bay area deserves to keep its trusted local station KGO. You have until July 29th

This is really well-written. Damn

The average microfinance borrower in Cambodia owes more than $3,900, nearly three times the median annual per capita income. Average debt per borrower is more than $6,000 when including small loans from microfinance lenders that are now commercial banks also providing other financial services.

At the end of 2025, one in 10 microfinance loans in Cambodia was more than 30 days overdue; an additional 7.4% have been restructured, usually by lenders cutting interest rates or extending a new loan to pay back an earlier one. That practice has become so common that it yielded its own name in Khmer—bingvul loy, or “cycling money.”

Ruh roh, Trump is losing people like my ivermectin-taking, 2020-election-denying uncle in Nevada. Maybe economic sentiment isn't completely detached from reality after all

Screenshot of a message

🤣 Another funny from Marty, but bless his heart for coming around.
“In ALL my life, I have NEVER seen an economy like this. Band head counts at 25% of yesterday. Casinos with so few people. Drink counts per person at such an all time record low. Parking garages less full than on a Monday's. People smuggling in beer, because that's all they can afford. 1 casino I went to, had 11 customers, unbelievable. WINCO parking lot almost empty. PLEASE DON'T SEND ME TRUMP STUFF.
Thanks,

I was gifted this book a few years ago and haven't read it yet, but I am curious if there's any political analysis of crises like we're seeing now. Thought you might enjoy!

Sacramento folks may recognize this car, which had a similar decal for years that said "EVs will destroy the grid" but they seem to have moved onto their next pet issue 🤔
