calling bullshit, because it's bullshit

having front and rear dashcams doesn't keep other drivers honest. Having VISIBLE front and rear dashcams keeps other drivers honest. Even local cops will watch their Ps and Qs if you have visible cameras.

blah blah blah political violence is wrong yeah yeah But if DC isn't already in flames, we have failed as a people who were borne of revolution from tyranny.

A huge barn owl came to visit me in the garden while I was watering after dark. We hung out together for a few until I tried to get a pic. Then he was gone like a vapor.

Spencer Pratt and his band of neo-Nazis is having a rally at Langdon Farms in Wilsonville, Oregon tonight. Requires registration, hint hint.

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

CFTC Staff Were Told to Retract Analysis of Suspicious Oil Trades

Chairman’s adviser intervened to take over examination of lucrative bets that were made around Trump reversal on Iran power plant attack.

feeling like listening to some #Tool tonight, oddly. First time I heard them, I said "somebody grew up listening to #KingCrimson" and it was a dead center bullseye assessment. #polyrhythms www.youtube.com/watch?v=80Rt...

MIck Jagger I'd believe, as he's famous for being an eager participant in human trafficking. He's proud of having a bank account dedicated to it.

Trump just fell for a FAKE Denzel Washington endorsement, sharing a fabricated quote claiming the Oscar-winning actor called him the smartest and bravest person he’d ever met. Even more embarrassing? The exact same fake endorsement has been attributed to Matthew McConaughey and Mick Jagger.

since it's getting a little notice, I'll take story further. Those 60 men became the first European settlers of Jamaica. The island would remain Spanish until taken by the English in 1655.

the story of how a secret Jew (converso) who had inside knowledge of the coming reconquista, and managed to smuggle 60 sons of Jewish nobility out of Spain on Columbus's ship on the day it was announced... after convincing Izzie to finance it... is fascinating.

I know a guy who did 5 years for armed robbery in the 80s. He was my BIL from my first marriage. I have fun stories about his homecoming. He's a Certified Nurse Anesthetist now and his daughter got married in the Galapagos a few years back. Yes, people CAN get their shit together.

when I bought my PC years ago, I got the best GPU available. I paid about $1000 extra for the GeForce 3090 RTX upgrade. My PC is worth more now than I paid for it. #Alienware

🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife). Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.

we know that superheroes aren't real because if they were, one would have dragged Putin to the Hague by now. I could make a joke about #TheHague being real but I have an incidental and distant connection to someone who was tried there. Pretty sure it's real.

Green Bay hates Chicago because they can't BE Chicago. Their winters are worse, their fishing is worse, their inflated property values are worse... so they crow about a game that really means nothing in real life to 99% of people. NOBODY in #Chicago wishes it was #GreenBay. Not even the tourists

you know who we haven't heard from in forever? Sorcha Faal. The original online hoax factory. Real name, David Booth. #WhatDoesItReallyMean

somebody is using AI. They spent a lot of money on it. They're an incompetent failure. A real human recruiter would never consider me for this position for an abundance of reasons.

One follows the other

The people who have politicized science for decades are really mad that republicans are doing it now.

RFK Jr is funding a grotesquely unethical study on newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau; ethicists, pediatricians, clinical trial experts, & infectious disease experts are calling this horrific trial The New Tuskegee. It is unethical to withhold a life saving intervention from half of newborns FFS.

Stand Up for Science!@standupforscience.net · last wk.

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Marie Fetterman-Perez is running a very weak campaign with boring, generic ads. If she loses, and she very well might, it's her own fault. #WA03

If it were real, they’d keep it secret. Since it’s Trump, we’ll get a trailer, a countdown, and a bullshit finalé.
