Refugee (self-deleted) from Elon as of mid-2023. Why Catherine? A properly functioning moral compass. Sharp as a tack. But you have to want it (not a LOT, but at least a little). I understand. Color me "Open" right now. But '26 may make '28 meaningless.
Also, who writes the DSA stuff? Someone with a GED? For starters, 'immediately' and 'today' pretty much mean the same thing, so superfluous. Unspoken: That capitalism must go. This, is stupid. It must be regulated, and size matters. But if abolishment is your goal, you're electorally doomed.
Looking good, isn't he? Seed harvested in late November, refrigerated until early March, germinated in a seed tray, and then moved to this ~7 liter pot in April. Photo was Monday. I give him some morning sun outside, but I don't want to scorch him.
You Yanks know you elected a fucking clown, right? If this bit of clownish stupidity doesn't convince you, I have no hope for you.

The book all of America should read. 🤣 On sale now on Audible in a 2-for credit sale.
Nothing to see here. Just a typical collapse of load-bearing columns on a tower. 🤣🤣🤣
You don't want to be on Guam today, or tomorrow. Forecast is for winds in excess of 155 knots. This is a really serious typhoon, with central pressure of 905 hPa.
So I put these dahlias in after the wonderful tulip explosion in April, and look who appreciates me!! 🤪 It almost looks like AI, yes? But it’s real.
Sigh. We'll have to keep an eye on this one. The last forecast circle indicates a nasty typhoon.
A wag might say that Vance 'bombs' every time he opens his mouth.
@mit.edu Really, MIT?!? I seriously doubt you'd lose a penny putting up the rest of the course.
Tokyo dodges yet another bullet, for now. A substantial quake offshore up north. We were far enough away. This time.
Recommended. I'm convinced by the argument that obvious lies cannot be left to be sorted by "the marketplace of ideas". If you mislead investors (Elizabeth Holmes, or Jeffrey Skilling), you are subject to legal consequences. If you're a politician, & you lie to the entire country, you don't.
Oh, Trump was surely basking in his 'glory' at Versailles. Probably fondling the gold leaf and crystal while imagining a crown atop what passes for his brain—assuredly ignorant of what happened there once upon a time, when people finally decided they'd had a gutful of his ilk.
"Make nice with the face-eating leopard, so we can get some oil." Narrator: They are not stupid people. But they realize that America is currently an autocracy, and that this Bozo is the autocrat.
He looked good in that suit. He looked a lot better than the slob Trump, who's sartorial sloppiness is merely a miserably failed attempt to camouflage his corpulence. To me, Trump looks a bit like this: (including the ALT text)
It's hydrangea season. I like them, but only for about 2 weeks, tops. They don't age well. 🤣
"Shine on you crazy diamond" The floor of a commuter train in Tokyo. 😍
Trump couldn't win a game of 'Risk' even if he was the only one playing. 🙄
There are more cockroaches than you can imagine. ~News Items
A tale of risk: Softbank (Tokyo, 9984). Share prices: 3,500 yen in April. 6,400 yen by May 7. 5,000 by May 20. Peaked at? 9,074 on Wednesday. Indicated open today (could change): 5,926 Limit down. This is a $USD 235B market cap co. I own a modest amount of their ST paper, none of their equity.
