Trump’s new $5M gold plated statues… 2 of the four. Click to enlarge & view details. National Parks paid. By law all entrance fees stay in Parks to cover repairs, salaries & updates. The new commission approved all Trump requests… approximately $90M. Now our Parks are desperate for operating funds.
I was in a friend’s rental car and in place of a rear-view mirror there was a mirror-sized digital video feed of the back of the car. They replaced one of the most reliable & intuitive safety features in a car with a digital surrogate that could glitch at any moment. KEEP ANALOG SAFTEY FEATURES
It will never not be funny that a handful of morons spent six figures on this thing 
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
"When debating the bill to ban guaranteed income before it had a chance to be tested, some of my colleagues claimed people would stop working. Not only do the UpLift pilot results prove them wrong, but the results show an unfortunately harsh reality: getting and keeping a good job costs money."

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Interesting to read how Britain strives to stay relevant by enabling the USA wherever it can... Makes one wonder to what extent, behind the scenes, Canada plays a similar game... more troops in the Baltic region? scheerpost.com/2026/08/01/l...

We're so accustomed to taking someone's warped value judgement as truth. Marketing folks are too often the most likely to take an authoritarian stance and so distort information to keep up profits.
Ken McLeod@kenmcld.bsky.social · 5d agoI often hear that it would be "too expensive" to add bicyclist detection to new vehicles in the US - where new vehicles already average ~$50k But here's a $8,350 kei car in Japan that pulls it off because New Car Assessment has made it effectively standard www.automotiveworld.com/topics/softw...

"This is a massive shift from the mid-20th century. "Donald" was a comfortable Top 10 name for boys from 1923 to 1942, peaking at #6 in 1934 when over 30,400 babies received the name." Doesn't surprise does it...
Yup, things are boring now. Look at the stats: Car colors by year....
Andre the Chemist@andrechemist.bsky.social · 6d agoMy youngest kid likes to spot different color cars so on the ride to camp this morning I drove through a dealership's lot so we could find more colors. Friends, there were ONLY black, white, grey, and beige vehicles. Bring back fun colors of cars!
Its and out of date idea but wouldn't it be nice if there was a rock solid and popular "wall of shame" where deceivers could be publicly called out with good testimony and made to wear something like a scarlet letter? open.substack.com/pub/scrimsha...
It gets worse... these veterans weren't used to defend their country... they were used to advance the interests of, and protect, the "ruling class".

Sure, put the blame on Trump... easy peasy... But the sad truth is this was America's choice. just look at the scores of people who have promoted him, appeased him, enabled him, voted for him, not resisted him, the list goes on&on... & when he's gone how many of his flock will still be there?

"Shopify’s CEO Tobi Lütke is a big backer of Ford's expansion plans... Lütke is also a fan of voter reform: giving high income earners more votes than low earners... and no vote for those on assistance. Pretty clear then eh? as to how much concern this expansion plan has for the common good.
