An older guy, spending time ignoring that I'm an older guy, and, sadly, failing at the mission. Sure, I have some wisdom, but you'll have to hear a 15 minute prequel story about a topic with vague connections before the actual wisdom is presented.
If elected: I promise Congress will come up with a universal healthcare plan that they themselves must use.
I promise the American public will have the same work schedule as the House of Representatives. If employees don't like it, talk to the Reps they own.
Also ice cream Thursdays. Vote Steve!

Just curious, will we get to see the police reports of all these victims who were "forced" into beastiality? "Honey, it's not what you think! All those other sheep over there forced me!"

The Ed Sheeran tour (or what's left of it) is a good example of avoiding to engage with the obviously right path doesn't mean your insulated. Looking at you, 1/3 registered voters who sat on the couch in '24.

Local bit:
Dangerous, distracted driving throughout the Valley is not new. The lack of police to address this issue is not new. The desire of the city council to spend our tax money on vanity projects instead of our community is not new. But we can renew in November.

So, we're giving Isereal $2.8 billion worth of missiles to keep the genocide going. Repeat, they are getting $2.8 BILLION of weapons we paid for. Our tax money. To Israel. To kill women and children. MAGA, is this the America First you were blathering on about?

Florida is projected to experience major flooding 5-10 times more often by 2050, but they cling to the GOP. You can't save a drowning man if he repeatedly punctures his flotation device.

Gillette stadium will be sold out this year, guarantee it. So much for New England being "progressive".

Okay, Blue NE Pat's fans. Decision time...
"But it's football..."
Yup, a team owned by a guy making demands in the entertainment field in the name of a country committing genocide.
Demands that are being carried out.
The 1% only have empathy for the weight of their wallet.

In my father's generation, the lesson from WWII were pretty clear cut and universally accepted. I find it staggering the IQ loss and reality acceptance challenges just one generation can produce.

Dear ex-MAGA supporters:
The reason you are not being recognized as "born again" is two fold. 1) You're still making it about yourself. And
2) We know you'll do it again the minute some A-hole tells you it's okay to an A-hole.
Do the work, not the lazy.

Know what made America "great"? A system of corporate profits going back into the business, the employees, the unions. Then Reagan thought, "Well... Mommy says I should allow my buddies to raid the cookie jar" and here we are.

Jefferies is starting to look like the poster boy for "let's just all get along" naivete. We cannot gain the ground we need for '28 if he is going to try to lead straight down the middle. The GOP will eat him alive and we'll have nothing to hold up as a new direction.

Has tRump tried offering Zelensky $5000 to just give up and allow Putin to keep what Russia has been trying steal?

I'm not sure why everybody is screaming at the FCC over the Jimmy Kimmel/Talerico interview. The FCC is doing what we all expect they'd be doing. Why is no one screaming at the Walt Disney Company for, once again, bending the knee like the weak, Mickey Mouse operation they are.

Things I like about my 2019 Honda:
1) It doesn't spy on me.
2) None of its features, that I've PAID FOR, will go to "subscription only" in a year.
3) I can park it and not worry if somebody dings it.
4) Paid for, baby!

Moving to Bluesky from Reddit is like leaving a 3rd grade classroom the day after Halloween with a passed out substitute and walking into the calmest reading room next to a quiet lake.

Every time a crypto bot reaches out to me, I always flash on the 1970s "pyramid party" rage. The bots give off the same vibe. Desperation wrapped in a "friend" just seeing how you're doing, and incidently, a great opportunity awaits.

I expect Newsom will throw his hat in for '28, but I'm still bothered by his "firm and absolutely committed" promise of CAL single-payer healthcare before his win, to the milquetoast pivot Medi-Cal expansion. If you've ever had to use the state offered ins for, say, a broken arm, you're gonna pay.

ProTip: Always make sure the microchip the Deep State is putting into your flu vax or COVID booster has the current software. I had to get a software update on mine, and I DID NOT expect how they did it! I'll be sitting on a cushion for a few days...

Do we even have a Fourth Estate anymore? There was a time a VP mis-spelling "potato" was front page/lead story for weeks. I wouldn't mind seeing legacy/corporate news fade into the dust along with all the other things us Boomers ruined.
