These are three things that are more displeasing to God than any others: the first is for a rich man to be greedy, the second is for a poor man to be arrogant, the third is for an old man to be lascivious. Merchant Culture in Fourteenth-Century Venice: The Zibaldone da Canal

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

Priorities.

Honestly I am surprised that anyone from another country would come here for either the World Cup or the Olympics. I'm certain that even if athletes can get in many of their fans won't. MIllions of soccer fans from Latin America and Africa is Trump's nightmare.

I think he must use the same barber as Elon.

We welcome European support but at this time our Waddles will sink any non-scientific vessel within our Territorial Defense Zone, in accordance with our Antarctic Treaty of 1959. We reserve the right to change this policy if American Dear Leader renegotiates his unfair Tariff practices.

Residents of Heard Island took to the ice in protest of the new tariffs.

Kudos to @cbsnews.com and @60minutes.bsky.social for doing this piece.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Some one should point out to Elon that Bezos had the courage to get on his Blue Origin rocket. Musk doesn't have the balls to get on his own Dragon.

It is possible to reduce fossil fuel use. www.thetimes.com/article/fbd6...

Everything Trump touches dies. Everything Elon Musk touches undergoes "rapid unscheduled disassembly".

@algreen.house.gov is my representative. I am proud of his actions at the speech on Tuesday. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov How dare you punish him for standing up. How dare you allow other Dems to vote for his censure. He had the courage to do what you should have done.

God, the Dems are pathetic. Al Greene, my representative showed courage. The rest are scared of getting kicked out. They should all be booing and shouting and getting thrown out.

This says so much about American culture.

Trump II has begun. Many people are asking: “What can I do now?” Here are 10 recommendations. Please let me know your thoughts, and if you have anything else you'd like to add to the list.

I wonder what RFK Jr. says about this. I thought he was opposed to our enlargement problem.

The next step in the Fascist playbook is some sort of attack - a bomb, a fire, an assassination. Something that appears to be the work of left wing Americans. Something that will give Republicans an excuse to give Trump "temporary" abilities for "protecting" the government.

The Newsroom never got the love it deserved because this is one of the best monologues on TV ever and it was in the FIRST EPISODE youtu.be/fJh9t9h6Wn0

We need more positive stories.

I read every night when I go to bed. It helps me wind down. Well most of the time, except when it is a book about an interesting topic. Then it gets my mind working for the rest of the night.😼

Labour backs plans for £15m fund to distribute surplus food from farms

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. May you have many blessings.

I can see this getting worse going forward as Trump and his billionaire friends ravage any social safety net and increase the wealth inequality in their favor.
