Pollitical Cartoonists keep us sane. This gem is from Mike Lukovich. Now we know where they hid the Epstein files. Trumpy should know we ain't forgetting what he did to all those kids. Not now, not ever.

Fantastic article. I literally had an argument with a friend recently, who never read the story. I mentioned that what he should truly be upset about is the historically inaccurate cyclops. Haha. I for one am excited. Nolan hasn't let me down yet.

So pleased to have an essay in the Chicago Sun Times today on the issues around telling a “true” story in the Odyssey

Davey also has nine All-Star appearances, five Gold Gloves, two Silver Slugger Awards, two championship rings. I realize the HoF honestly has always been a popularity contest, but still annoys me.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Someone please help me understand why? www.kcur.org/environment-...

kcur.orgSoon after massive honeybee deaths, Trump moves to close the nation's premier bee labWhen beekeepers saw widespread honeybee die-offs last year, researchers at the USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center stepped in to help. The Trump administration now plans to close the facility, sparking concern among beekeepers and scientists.

Whomever it was... it was @shutupshow.bsky.social and that's what matter. :-) (honestly, it was too long ago for me to recall). Anyway, Quinn's Quest has also got me buying RPGs that sadly I may never play, but enjoy the worldbuilding that some them offer.

I think Tom reviewed this one!

Inflation has tripled from just one month ago, and it’s higher than when he took office. Not only has Trump failed to deliver on his central campaign promise to make life more affordable - he is actively, directly driving prices up.

Hope all is well, missing your opinions on the podcast... @cptowers.bsky.social funny sidenote, I've been sending occasional fantasy baseball related content and copying Frank and Chris on them, only today realizing I've been copying the wrong Chris Towers on my previous posts.
