Potential disaster waiting to happen because Utah and the USDA want to protect the fur industry

So I’m a Warriors fan. I did not see the Yaxel Lendeborg storm coming. Welcome to the NBA Yax! #lendeborg #luka

Is Donald Trump coming out of the closet? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. #husted #trump #getaroom

“I just want to finish my thought” The struggle never ends

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"

Have we retreated in the Middle East?… Iran has been thrashing ships in the Strait of Hormuz in recent weeks. Are WE out of projectiles?

“Let’s move forward.” Fox News does the bare minimum on Kimberley’s downfall.. Even so, this story is not going away if Eric Deters has anything to say

“I just got assaulted!“ KNOXVILLE man sucker-punched outside the white nationalist group meeting Greg Bovino and others are attending today — we are told no arrest has yet been made by knoxville police. (From @votegloriaj.bsky.social )

Do we employ socialist policies? Copilot: The U.S. employs many policies commonly described as socialist, including Social Security, Medicare, public schools, public utilities, unemployment insurance, progressive taxation. These are not fringe exceptions — they are core pillars of American society.

So why Trump as vowed not to let Iran ever have a nuclear bomb, he and his family are getting nuked by this Eric Deters character. Talk about getting blindsided… this dude is not going away #deters #amex

Vance does know he’s just the Vice President? “I”

TARIFF update: The deficit, which measures how much more the United States buys from abroad than it sells, climbed 13.7 percent from July to $105.6 billion – the biggest monthly gap since before Trump rolled out sweeping global tariffs in April 2025, reported the New York Times.

Finally, choice where the rubber hits the road

Lots of chatter on conservative news re how the “market is missing” the reality of nearly pre-war SOH tanker traffic… This was yesterday’s traffic: 17 vessels transited the strait Tuesday, including six inbound and 11 outbound; seven were traveling with AIS turned off This image: 9:35 am today

So Jimmy Kimmel had his wife parody Natalie Harp on his show. She played his unhinged assistant. It was as ridiculously funny as you might imagine.😅

“OH MY GOSH!” … wait for it #trumpinvestigation #jacksmith

🍿 Susan Collins, dottering old lady w the knitting is a crime boss on the down low And she's quite literally a home wrecker. Yes, she vixenated her current husband so utterly that he left his very ill wife for her WHEN SHE WAS 50 Gotta wonder what that old gal's into youtube.com/shorts/Lxlp9...

State Dinner tonight at the White House… Billionaire/millionaire tech, bank, investor folks on the guest list. Not on the list: at least one American farmer, trucker or small business owner … not even a bank teller #trumpchina #statedinner #affordability

"What do you do when you can't persuade? You lie" Talarico is flipping tables 🙏 youtube.com/shorts/O_boU...

The dog playing dead on command is the funniest thing you'll see today. Original post

So top echelons of AI and a few whistleblowers directly involved in AI development throw up red flags and “the media” is at fault for reporting those red flags? Please, don’t kill the messenger

As of 7:29 pm Sunday

Winning post of the week

🧑‍🌾 IOWA… farmers getting crushed by Trump’s actual war and trade war all across 🇺🇸

Deee lightful

The wonderfully talented Marsh Family has a new parody of Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic." This will piss off Crybaby Caligula yugely. Isn't he moronic? Don't you think?😅

When it comes to war and dealing with a declared state sponsor of terrorism and with the IRGC designated (by Trump 1st term) as a terrorist organization, all Iran or proxies have to do is target the above-ground sections of these new pipelines… so Iran’s leverage still remains. We need a better plan

“You’ve got to stop or there will be consequences” SERIOUSLY! That’s all we got. What? Did your sister just punch you in the shoulder? #vance #iran

In 1976, during an unforgettable episode of her syndicated television variety show Dolly!, Dolly Parton welcomed her close friends and fellow music icons Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt to share the stage.

When you see him, you think he's an idiot. Then he opens his mouth, and you *know* he is.

When it comes to sharing, tech has led much of the world to share way more than needs sharing. So be it. But the one person who cannot be accused of over sharing is Dolly Parton. Her talent, humor, self effacement, selflessness, wisdom, unapologetic capitalism and giving were never too much #dolly

77 million people believed a man who filed for bankruptcy 6 times.

NEW AD: 14 years ago today, Ken Paxton stole someone's $1,000 pen. Today, Ken Paxton’s pen victim is endorsing James Talarico.

Interesting take on how effed we are… especially how the Trump factor may have set us back 20ish years in terms of our relationship with the rest of the world

Seriously, how did all of us allow all of us to let that guy and his crew get into this FUBAR situation with Iran? General Patton, Churchill, Bonaparte never, ever spoke these words: semi-negotiate or low-keying #trump #iran #lowkey

The President of the United States. Yeesh (photo taken today)

Virtually no ship traffic traversing the Strait of Hormuz tonight…

@wpbl.bsky.social Best wishes for this inaugural season

Pro tip for photos of your dog

Go Giants! Seriously, now would be a good time to go!

Fun!!

So you want an Ice Box?

Yikes! But not surprised

remember this?

Morning view, afternoon view from my Dad’s place up on the Laureles Grade above Carmel Valley… best of both worlds, weather wise

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) wins quote of the day when asked about the Senate's agenda for the rest of this summer .... “I’m not terribly optimistic,” he said. “I think the next four weeks are going to look like the happy hour at an airport Chili’s.” #chilis #kennedy #senate

So, we went from fighting to keep Iran from having nuclear weapons capabilities to fighting for oil? I thought we had plenty of oil?
