According to Trump-we can’t pay for SNAP benefits to feed hungry kids Or lower the cost of housing Or help people keep their health insurance But we CAN spend billions on purposeless and unwanted steam catapults for our Navy In every way Literally Morally Metaphorically #RepublicansStarveUS

This is absolutely ridiculous. For all its potential pitfalls, the Ford aircraft carriers are built entirely around the EMALS system, and "replacing" it with steam catapults - which require large amounts of space and personnel - is simply not a realistic option. www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

Willpower turns crabby when Mars shuffles into Cancer on the 11th. It’s not the best placement for the red planet. Emotions rule actions, for good or ill. Plus, a wet blanket vibe threatens progress. The best plan: trust your feelings, but don’t let them derail your goals. #astrology #marsincancer

Card for the Week August 10 - 13: Queen of Cups reversed - Emotions are all over the place. Try not to make important decisions until you're grounded. #tarot #thetarotlady #tarotcardmeanings #weeklytarot

not really surprised to learn that terminal stupidity and racism is the reason i can’t walk into a CVS and just buy a toothbrush without flagging down the one person who might be in the store dannykatch.substack.com/p/we-used-to...

We used to be able to buy things in this country

Locking up toothpaste was a warning sign that our executive class was crazy
