Arrrgh! All that stress and panic trying to find money and get out the door on time, and then the attendant looks at me like I'm crazy and informs me that my doctor appointment is *tomorrow* at 2pm!

#Quebec's police ethics tribunal orders suspension of 2 officers for a particularly nasty case of racial profiling in Terrebonne, a town just north of #Montreal
“In 2023, Monsanto filed 15 complaints against Terrebonne police for stopping him without valid reason between 2018 and 2021 and issuing him more than $6,000 in fines.
14 of those stops were made within 11 months.”
Pam #Bondi gets US Justice Dept to Seek the Censure of Judge that passed rulings that slowed #Trump admin policies.

As of mid-June 2025, about 80% of these tankers continued to openly transport oil, without hiding, without turning off GPS and indicating the destination. Less than 18% hid their location, but continued to transport Russian oil products.

It would be a problem.
An emoji problem.

so. much. same.
eta: although having now seen the list, i think the amount of choice might give me a breakdown, so nvm.

Not yet. Thunder, and rain within 15 miles. But it's still in the forecast. 😀
A teachable moment.
People will learn that Republican weather policies are bad with the current hot bubble, ...
or with the increased fires, ...
or with the next bigger storms and floods, ...
or with the supersonic hurricanes...
People eventually will learn.
The only variable is the price willing to pay.
