Night shot of aurora borealis near Athens, Ohio. This is about 20 minutes from the Ohio River. It's much dimmer with the naked eye.

Elon Musk insists Tesla isn’t a car company as sales falter

Given Tesla's continued slump in car sales, I think that he's on(to) something. 😄

Fed Chair Jerome Powell reveals the cause of persistent inflation - economy is becoming uninsurable.

My homeowner's insurance went up almost $1,000 this year despite having no claims and NOT being in a flood plain or an area subject to hurricanes. Climate change is not going away, and this insurance problem is only going to get worse the longer that we do nothing.

Donald J Trump - who is running for President - is a criminal, a cheat, a con-man, a racist, a pathological liar, a malignant, narcissistic sociopath, and a treasonist, anti-democratic authoritarian who was elected as US President in 2016 by a combination of low-information numbskulls and people who support various aspects of the aforementioned characteristics. This is how he should be covered.

🤔 Why are people taking Scott Adams seriously? He says DEI stands for "Didn't Earn It." But let's look at his own words from his own book. He's boasting about his mediocrity, and how he didn't earn anything, and about how he was terrible at his job.

Every Black employee at his company earned it much more than he did. And these are his own words! And look at the text from his own performance review! 🤡

A bank teller that loses money and is incompetent, genuinely expecting to be promoted.

My supervisor liked me, but my sloppiness at keeping track of peo- ple's transactions-which in those days involved writing down num- bers with a pen and paper-made me unfit for the job. My supervisor warned me that unless I improved quickly, she would be forced to let me go. I knew I wasn't likely to get better at handling details. I was a failure at my first job. I figured I had two ways to leave my job. I could get fired or-and here's the optimist emerging-I could get promoted. I wrote a letter to the senior vice president for the branch system, who was probably seven or eight layers of management above me, and described all of my naive suggestions for improving the bank. My ideas had one thing in common: They were impractical for reasons a twenty-one-year-old wouldn't yet appreciate. I closed my letter by asking for a rare and coveted spot in the management training program, a fast track to up- per management. It was a long shot for a guy who had on his perma- nent work record some version of "too incompetent to write numbers

"I was very appreciative of Donald Trump's support of law enforcement so I was there merely to show appreciation for his support of law enforcement in the United States."

Really? Was this support demonstrated before or after he sent his goons to the US Capitol building to beat police officers and attempt to overthrow the government?

A reminder that because of his purposefully incompetent mishandling of the COVID pandemic, Trump became the single most successful mass murderer in US history.

“There is no merit to defendants’ contention that a full bond or deposit is unnecessary because they are willing to post a partial undertaking of less than a quarter of the judgment amount,” state lawyer Dennis Fan wrote. “Defendants all but concede that Mr. Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment; defendants would need ‘to raise capital’ to do so.”

And there we have it. Trump doesn't have the scratch, and no one is willing to stake him the amount.😆

so 57,000 democrats voted in Michigan told Biden to stop supporting ? y'all know he barely Georgia (or was it Arizona) with less than 20K votes, right?

57,000 for Michigan is a big fucking swing vote.

we know these are bullshit. blocked all contenders to manufacture these phony victories. so stop the "he's crushing it".

Biden doesn't have a 2024 mandate... yet.

BUT! the best news? looks like more Dems are voting in primaries than MAGA fash.

@Seilenos@queerspirituality.social avatar

@msbellows @blogdiva Agreed. People need some remedial civics lessons on how laws are made and what role the courts play in the system. You want progressive policies? Stop complaining and start electing Democrats everywhere. People whined about Hillary and stayed home or voted 3rd party and we got Trump, who promptly blew a huge hole in SCOTUS & appointed a gazillion lower court judges (e.g., Aileen Cannon). So a snit has cost us Roe and Gods know what else down the road (marriage equality?).

@gratefuldread If the country had had the guts to prosecute Nixon after Watergate instead of Ford pardoning him, we might have avoided a lot of this mess. I say "might" because I'm not certain that any precedent would dissuade a malignant narcissist and lifelong criminal.
