  1. Again I am reminded how blessed I have been. My FIL, may he Rest In Peace, (fuck spellcheck) kept his cognitive dissonance to the need for Ma Bell to connect the rurals. Agreed with him, of course, but couldn’t help him break through to the other side.
  2. If there is a thread that could cancel the enshittification thread, then this is that thread. So, here is where I choose to post the following: One week old, tomorrow. The eldest was conceived in Montana. And she is there right now. Hopeful, I choose to be. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2024/06/05/extremely-rare-1-in-10-million-wild-white-bison-calf-born-in-yellowstone/
  3. Would you be swayed by the conclusions of a left leaning think tank? I propose the CBO is a more fitting benchmark for discussion of the raising the minimum wage act. Yes, some folks lose jobs, and yes, the deficit climbs. But, the poorest families, overall, do better. IMO, that is the intent of the act. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/55681 A deeper dive into the economic and budgetary dynamics of raising the minimum wage. https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2021-02/56975-Minimum-Wage.pdf
  4. Well, fingers crossed. ”Donanemab, if approved, would compete with Eisai and Biogen's Leqembi. Both drugs are designed to remove toxic beta amyloid plaques from the brains of people with early Alzheimer's disease. The antibody treatments, which succeeded in slowing disease progression in clinical trials, follow three decades of failed attempts to find drugs to fight the fatal, mind-wasting disease.” https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-fda-advisers-review-eli-lilly-alzheimers-drug-2024-06-10/
  5. So, what’s the likelihood three different sharks attacked humans compared to that of one shark attacking three times?
  6. Cabia.org has no reputation, either in support of its credibility or against. Why not find a reputable organization that makes the same claim? Do you think, if the claim you have posted is true, that the free press is actively suppressing the facts?
  7. Don’t drink colas, but that pellet ice is why I go to Sonic. Ten pound bags. Ice, a splash of lemonade and homemade soda water ftmfw.
  8. Agree they made the right decision. And, a golf tournament is most always fun. I was laughing at the “Olympic flame” ball run before the game.
  9. Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned. Bonfire not returning. “A golf tournament and a run to carry the game ball from Austin to College Station are some of the celebrations the university will instead host to commemorate the rivalry, Welsh said.” Lol https://www.texastribune.org/2024/06/05/texas-am-bonfire/
  10. More development means more runoff. Stronger storms means more rain. Floodplains will only get larger, over time.
  11. Doesn’t the FBI agree with that dude’s boss, and say alt-right white nationalists are the nation’s biggest domestic threat? Head in the sand is not the posture a bank needs from their security people.
  12. Nvm, Jaime already asked.
  13. Disarming the populace is part of the dictator’s playbook. Thought the resident 2nd Amendment Rs knew that, but psychos aren’t necessarily smart people.
  14. “Pepsi-cola hits the spot. Twelve full ounces, and that’s a lot!” That’s the beginning of an advertising jingle my mother would quote when I asked her why she would drink Pepsi, which I would point out sucked. Apparently, Coke was only ten ounces at the time, and the company refused to adjust, until Pepsi had made significant inroads into Coke’s market share. http://www.oldmagazinearticles.com/article-summary/pepsi-cola-commercial-1940
  15. Live video feeds of women’s holding cells? FFS, what a scumbag.
  16. Of course the gqp would take advantage of an old person with dementia.
