Interesting. I haven't been hearing much about Crypto lately in the business section. In fact, I can't remember the last time I saw that word. Until now. Maybe made-up money isn't such a good deal after all.
Old hippie. Lived on "The Hill" in Boulder, CO Summer of 1967. Drugs, sex and R&R to the max made me a terminal Lib. I've done a lot of things in my life. Education: Math and Computer Science. Doesn't make me an expert. No DM's unless a friend.

We must be talking much more about this. Over population is at the root of just about every problem we have. And we are running out of water.

The point is we take it back. So, let's figure out a way to do that, instead of playing dead.

Stuff like this is why I'm spending a little more time on FB these days. www.facebook.com/share/19xbkN...

Then we get that money back. Whatever that takes. I'm tired of hearing how we are getting robbed. Like we're helpless or something. Remembering what happened to robbers in the wild West. At least in movies.

Let's just hope that MSM get's some balls and shows some indignation over this. Like showing pictures of Trump being bud's with the best pimp he ever new.

Dems, take a hint from this guy. There must not be one single Democratic candidate who doesn't fucking mean it like he does. This is how we win this thing back. With a little bit of that long shoreman swagger. People relate to that.

Maybe it's just me, but when one posts some regurgitation by 47, I know it will cause me to lose a few brain cells, so I just ignore it. Whatever Trump has to say is completely irrelevant.

Up late tonight writing a little. Encouraged by an upcoming and certainly a final reunion. So I can recall a lot of things I hope to say in a couple weeks, to those who are left. Part of that process requires getting some sleep. Have a good night, everyone.
G Albrecht (@mscdgrad.bsky.social) reply parent
This thread gives me a sense of our problem. I've supported two political news websites for years. Since Bush. In order to get the attention we need, there must be some consolidation of resources. $10.00 per month, here and there doesn't cut it. But that's what most of us can afford. We need help.
G Albrecht (@mscdgrad.bsky.social)
In all seriousness, we must, absolutely divvy up this country into two or more countries. Give all the states a choice. Whether to be enlightened, or not. Regardless, this must move forward. I choose to be in the forward direction of evolution. Even it requires bloodshed.
G Albrecht (@mscdgrad.bsky.social)
AZ is the key. Otherwise it'll have to be three countries. Unless Mexico gives us some territory south of the border. BTW: I've been promoting this for years.
G Albrecht (@mscdgrad.bsky.social)
So, I've had a little too much to drink tonight. In spite of that, I managed to make some pozole that approaches having a climax. By accident. A wholei fucking week's worth. I'll be in heaven for a while.

I can't argue with that. But those "cheap" prices keep us buying. And the likes of Amazon and Walmart in business.

Just my own experience, along with sis and brother. I remember we got out of school for a week or so. And we survived it. But not getting it in the first place, would have been nice. Cause it wasn't pleasant. I cannot imagine what the new strains are like.

No surprise. But it's cheap labor. And since the 70's, we've been gushing about that. All I know is that mom's 70 yo Tupperware is still usable.

Don't think that's it at all. I think Musk, in all his arrogance actually thought he could, "successfully" gut the governmentL Like he did with Twitter. His problem was relying upon juvenile delinquents to do it. That's why he left with his tail between his legs. What a dufus that guy is.

So something I learned from significant other and from a therapist. Plus from my old english teacher. When one starts out a reply with the word "you" it implies an assumption and can be interpreted as accusatory. I do that too. "You" is appropriate in many contexts. Just not as the first word.

I hate to admit, that I knew little more about Kenny Bruce, than he was some sort of beatnik comic. A few years before me. But then I binged on "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and learned a lot more about him. What a talent that guy was.

This is so logical. Reminds me of lead paint. We are all ingesting plastic. And evolution will adapt. And we may not survive the next version of us.

Another thing. My go-to movie is "It's. Mad, Mad Mad World". Gotta a thing for Ethyl Merman and her son from that one. I'm laughing as I am writing this. So many great movies back then.

Joan Rivers was from a different planet than was Ms. Barr. No comparison. But maybe that's because I had a thing for Ms. Rivers. There was just something about that incredibly talented lady.

@kelvin1.bsky.social Thanks for the follow back. Does "ppm" mean parts per minute? If so, I'm good with that.

So, I'm pretty sure that 47 will morph into 48 pretty soon. Maybe a few months from now. Nature doesn't look too kind to Trump these days. That and what appears to be advanced dementia. I'm demented myself, this an expert in this field. I'm going to look forward to tormenting Trump for eternity.

There never were "guardrails". That's just something we assumed existed. They never did. Guardrails work, only if honorable people are in charge. And that is not the case right now. We must start fighting outside the guardrails, just like the other side is doing.

These guys apologize? There is never be a need for that. To answer the assertion: "Nothing happens" It's because we are still all too comfortable.
