Does your fair have dangerous rides that collapse into a trailer that resemble animated elector sets run by persons of questionable smell and character? Is there not a warehouse sized bouncy house of similar bent? Miss me with your faux "State Fair."
If I go to an event advertised as a State Fair I want to see large livestock, titanic dangerous machines, and/or folk art and snack food that makes me feel patriotic and question my sanity at the same time. I desire a three-story mining rig next to Corn Washington to activate my childlike wonder

If there is a working fire marshall in Washington DC, this stage should be shut down. bsky.app/profile/aaro...
The stage is falling apart at the rehearsal for Freedom 250's July 4th celebration.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...
Compliance is necessary. The electoral drubbings will continue until morale improves.
I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
A security camera produced an image of a possible culprit
Trump: "The 350 foot gash, made by a very sharp knife or razors, is actually numerous slashes over a very long 350 foot length. It was purposefully and criminally done, and somebody had to work very hard, probably in the dark of night, to create such a condition."

Yes yes yes. I'd go a step further and say that in addition to ego and narcissism, sadism - the active joy in hurting people under your power - is a big factor as well.
Some bosses say full-time, in-person work boosts productivity or collaboration. “Our new research reveals that the objection to any work from home is more likely to be driven by something else entirely: ego,” write Adam Grant, Marissa Shandell and Courtney Elliott.

Musk is the only trillionaire we have and by far the worst. Perhaps we should ponder how our capitalist system produced such a dangerous lout and hatemonger as its first trillion-dollar-man.

“No amount of press coverage...could ever fully document the scale of the ripple effect of trauma,” one Minneapolis resident told Human Rights Watch.
I'm trying to learn how to prose at my advanced age after several scathing critiques. It hits like learning how to draw a nose all over again. But, like that, there are sparkles that shine through even now. I can convey character well. It's a start. I won't be tempted by AI. I've done this before.

My favorite part is that the bylaw itself is immediately void as it was never named "The Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center." In every photo, it is "The Donald J. Trump and THE John F. Kennedy Memorial Center."
Trump's emergency plea to the DC Circuit to stop removal of his name from the Kennedy Center included this odd reference to a bylaw that had never been mentioned before in the litigation. It's looking increasingly like it was passed last week—and maybe on Thursday, the day before the petition.

I see we have moved on from "Writing prompts is an art form and skill in itself!" to "Writing prompts is a task you can outsource to a machine to free up all that boring time pretending to work at art."
Just got advertised a YouTube video of someone saying they can tell you how to ask Ai to tell you what and how you should be asking Ai to help you write your novel. If you need robot help to ask for the robot help to write your novel, I think maybe you don’t want to write a novel?

The joke is on him and his toadies because it never was the "Donald J Trump and John F. Kennedy" etc. As can be plainly seen, it was "The Donald J Trump and THE John F. Kennedy" etc. By his own rules, his poison pill fails.
Here Trump asserts that center’s “trustees” passed a poison-pill bylaw that requires return of donations if his name is ever removed. AFAIK this has never been alleged before in the litigation. If true, is another shocking indictment of his board of toadies. 2/5
