Watch this. It’s a REAL mature President speaking like a mature man. You can’t compare Obama against the whiny baby moron we have as “president” today. youtu.be/mgfO4nnPL3Y?...

Just went and saw @drannieandrews.com speak here at Sun City Hilton Head. She is our future. I don’t understand how you can listen to her and read her qualifications and then not vote for her. @indivisible.org @democracynow.org Now if we can only get @brucespringsteen.net to come to a show :-)

Renaming this ship would be a travesty but also another flag, among many, that this administration is overtly racist. www.cnn.com/2026/08/20/p...

So our idiot leader did a lot of idiot stuff but then a lot of idiot followers voted for him and cheered him on. Now their houses are burning and ………….i don’t feel bad at all. www.outdoorlife.com/conservation...

79F and 91% humidity to start the day.

Why?

We know MAGA orcs don’t have the critical thinking gene but here is proof that we produce more oil than anyone, by a huge margin. We don’t need to drill more. Production climbed during the whole Biden presidency. www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...

ICE executes another immigrant with no proof or video to back their use of force. WTAF are we turning into as a country? apple.news/Arsc0__ReR1u...

@npr.org Looking through a stack of old magazines and came across this. Good times.

@questlove.bsky.social watching Earth Wind and Fire documentary with my wife and wishing I would have grown up around cool people. I didn’t even immigrated until 1976 but too English/white to ever be as cool as them. Some great music and love the history. Thanks for the great show.

@marthawells.com bought a new book today at Dallas Love Field, TX (🤮). Not a big reader but should be. My wife reads all the time so I’m now on a mission to start and finish this while my daughter gets married. Love the Muderbot show.

@willdouglasheaven.bsky.social Good article in MITTR on AI. As someone who works on the server side, I hear all kinds of stuff but have yet to see anything “amazing”. So much money going where? Nobody wants to fix healthcare or education but AI, yeah that’s the answer. 😞

Cancelled Paramount+ Fuck them!

@rahmemanuel.bsky.social this was a great read and right on point. The present administration is all about the “look” and “size” of their soldiers and weapon systems instead of lethality, accuracy and cost. If you can’t place bets on it, they don’t want it. Graft and greed kills nations.

Local little gator found his place. Just sound asleep. Love having creatures around us that will survive long after we are gone.

I must state that medical billing firms and their insurance cousins, need to be replaced by a single payer system. It’s just such a scam. They can take payment but they can’t explain a mistake because they don’t have access because they are lying. #medicalbilling #medical #singlepayersystem

Love these athletes! U.S. women's hockey team declines Trump's invitation to the State of the Union share.google/Mg9zoTrX0Vp8...

Reading the news ,everyday, hearing about US Citizens having their doors bashed in or being dragged off the streets and sent to holding cells. No warrants or probable cause. Just the color of their skin. This is America today. Welcome to the Forth Reich.

If you open ANY paid for TV app today you get lots of commercials. Take the time and do this. Less that $50 and I get so much time back in my life youtu.be/i8TY44YaVNw?...

I went to my local HFH Renovation Station shop yesterday to look around and couldn’t resist picking up some odd CDs. They were 6 for $1 and they are mint condition #CD #musicshop

Hits the nail right on the head. I didn’t watch the full speech but from what I watched I was waiting for him to yell at the reports to get of his lawn. FFS America. This is our President? 🤡 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Stockholm Central station this morning. I miss trains enough to just leave the US. #trains #stockholm

Walking around #Stockholm this evening checking out the #nobelprize light show. Love this town. At some point we will probably move back to Sweden. #nobel

Really like where Columbia is going as a company. Flat Earthers run with the MAGA crowd so a big 🖕to them all. Columbia Trolls Flat-Earthers: Take a Photo and ‘Win’ the Whole Company gearjunkie.com/outdoor/colu...

Trump pardons drug traffickers! Way to crack down on them. I wonder how much money he is getting to do this. The MAGA movement is sooooo stuuupid to have believed anything different! apple.news/AtGER6JVhS6m...

American Red Hawk at about 10’ with an iPhone16. Obviously I don’t know what settings to use but pretty cool. We actually walked past him at first. He didn’t leave but we also didn’t get any closer than 10’. #hawk #nature

Found this author and getting ready to start reading again. I stopped for a couple of decades but going to start with these two books. #StarWars #Empire #bookclub

Tool and U2. Two great bands from opposite sides of the alternative spectrum. Love that I still have my CDs

Serious question here, is anyone running scenarios on people’s 401K accounts for 1. Civil Unrest/War 2. Complete collapse of Democracy 3. 3 more years of Trump 4. Military takeover and return to democracy 5. Things settle down and make a turn for the better (seems less likely every day)

When will we get a morning show that provides real news instead of the product shills and soft crap stories we get today? The Supreme Court just stated skin color is a reason to stop anyone and I’ve heard nothing from our news outlets. We need real news.

Old man across the street drove this home, don’t know how many miles. All the old right wing nuts can’t change his tire so they had to call AAA to put the spare on. I would have helped but, fuck ‘em. Fly your MAGA flag and watch your FOX entertainment. Spend that money.

I know we are living in F’ed up times but, could we get Nutella containers that are easier to scrape out? Need to buy more before the king of tariffs put this out of reach.

Beach walk evening. Things seem better while walking.

Ralph in the KS sun.

So many red states are screwed but hey, that’s what they voted for. apple.news/AHQaOOBSfT7O...

Wow! What could go wrong with this……? Nothing I’m guessing? Building the perfect swamp. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Driving through Memphis today, on I55, and, we can do better. Plus, what’s with the lack of cell signal @tmobilesupport.bsky.social

Shit is getting real, “The Trump administration is temporarily blocked from activating U.S. military troops in Los Angeles, Judge Charles Breyer ruled Thursday.” No kings!

Funny how two things get lumped together in the email from the VA.

#murderbot was really good but really short this evening. Please make the next one longer.

Watching “the accountant 2” this evening. Sad to think that the Trump administration would send the kids right back to Mexico. We are the bad guys in the story now.

From the inside cover on one of the Fantastic Films 8/1982 magazines. Always enjoyed #bladerunner Interesting to read the old articles now that it’s been 43 years. 43 years before I bought this magazine, WWII was just starting in Europe. Time is such a weird concept.

Anyone watching Murderbot on Apple TV? This show is great. Nice break from the lunacy we have around us. #murderbot

Going through a bunch of old magazines and have a stack of these Fantastic Films. Raiders never looked like the preproduction art work. Loved Conan back in the day but it’s not the same now. Still cool but just …eh old.

So many old comics. Need to figure out a way to sell them but not put them on EBay, one at a time.

Yup. Bird eggs in the decoration outside the front door. Good place but I expect a lot of bird poop now on the porch…..which will wash off. Let’s see how many make it.

This smells so good.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.
