Wish I had said this.
I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.
I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

Russell Brand is going to prison because unlike America, in the UK, they give rapists prison time and they certainly don't fucking elect them President of the United States.

Republicans get their fucking asses kicked in the midterns, and they immediately respond with cutting SNAP benefits for 6.3 million people right before the holidays. They will never fucking learn.

wow -- CNN broadcast footage of an Arlington guard yelling at a group with Pete Hegseth to "MAINTAIN SILENCE ... PAY RESPECT!" after someone in his entourage started laughing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

trump building an arch to block the view of Arlington Cemetery and hegseth with his crew taking photos laughing near the tomb of the unknown soldier shows this administration has no respect for the people who gave their lives in service of their country.
Respect
The US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier admonished Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony.
“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.” the sentinel called out, stopping his patrol to face the group as they departed.
Hegseth was standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, Chief of Staff Ricky Buria, Deputy Chief of Staff Patrick Weaver, and senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh after the ceremony held at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.

My favorite two parts of the background of Gordon Lightfoot writing “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”:
1) Lightfoot read a news story on the wreck and they spelled the name of the ship wrong. Offended by this, he wrote the song to honor them properly.
2) The final verse contains the line “the church bell chimed til it rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.” This happens to this day on the anniversary at the Great Lakes Maritime Academy. When Lightfoot passed away in 2023, they rang the bell 30 times—29 for the sailors lost and once for Lightfoot who immortalized them.

the bride requested Ella Fitzgerald but I thought she said Edmund Fitzgerald and boy this is a long, awkward first dance

When word of the wreck reaches Rev. Richard Ingalls at the Mariner's Church of Detroit, he prays for the souls of the men who lost their lives on the Edmund Fitzgerald. He ascends the church's belltower and rings the Brotherhood Bell 29 times, once for each member of the crew.

I'm amazed that anyone thought Trump would actually learn anything from the midterm defeat.
Narcissists never learn or take accountability.
Everything out of their mouths is pure garbage.
Just watch their actions.
Miller and Jordan tell you everything you need to know about how they are approaching the next 2 years.

2/ We can't even say the words. Nobody in DC can. But I will. We need to raise taxes. First, on billionaires and then, on then on millionaires. If we don't, we will be blown out in 2028. Schumer is not going to do it. It's not who he is.

1/ Democrats are about to learn the reality of the GOP mess they are now going to be blamed for. All the freshman selfies and back-patting will fade and the grim reaper will be at the door when the rural hospitals close and millions of Americans lose their health care.

The last diesel tanker which was still heading for US shores has turned around.
So in summary, Trump's diesel deal with Putin caused no diesel to arrive in the US, didn't drop diesel prices, and caused his party to badly lose the US Midterms.
The Art Of The Deal indeed. 📉💥

Russia’s Geran-5 K5-K drone is basically a small cruise missile. It has a jet engine, a range of about 1,000 km and cruises at over 450 km/h.

Let's look at it another way. We had the wrecks of the Carl D. Bradley (33 men, 1958), Daniel J Morrell (28 men, 1966) and then the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975 with her 29 men. Shipping industry on the great lakes is an incredibly deadly thing. The lightning in the bottle that Gordon managed to capture with the song and rabid shift in focus to safety on the great lakes by US Gov't really changed the culture around safety in the shipping industry. We haven't had a major maritime disaster on the great lakes since. Regularly you can sit and watch (virtually or in person) the large ships lay up in the bays waiting out large storms instead of trying to tough it out. It's important to remember the events and changes they brought to the safety of the personnel out there day in and day out.

Hakeem Jeffries voted for a resolution to honor Charlie Kirk. I haven't forgotten but maybe some of you have. Here's your reminder.
