I have never seen a more pointless loft in my life, and there isn't even a railing to keep you from falling off.

There shouldn't be a table there. That's a storage area. Should just have a stack of boxes.

These ants are almost cryptic. They live very very deep underground, forage during cold months when other ants are not seen, and they can't tolerate much heat at all. Very hard to keep as pets since they like about 55F and not more than 80F ever.

I still love them.

I tried to keep a queen last year, she laid eggs but they never hatched. Maybe she wasn't well. It didn't work out. But when I went to the ant forums for advice everyone said they were HARD to raise.

Too bad they missed. Likely an inside job like the orange filth's staged "assassination" event.

Because of genetic engineering, Idaho potatoes have developed legs and can run. Now, they are darn hard to catch much less steal.



Accidentally found this movie. I REALLY liked it.


Just when you thought you'd heard everything. The Trump regime says our Leader has established peace on earth; thus the U.S. Institute of Peace is no longer needed.

Le boycott: French customers shun McDonald’s, Coca Cola and Tesla to protest against Trump... theguardian.com/world/2025/mar…

"A poll, which splashed the front page of the Libération newspaper last week, found that more than six out of 10 French people support shunning American products, and almost one in three are already avoiding them.

"The #BoycottUSA hashtag has spread across social media networks in what researchers say is a “historic collapse” of the US’s image in France."

I used the 1-year anniversary of moving my newsletter off of Substack (they monetize Nazis among other things it turns out) to write a few thoughts on the lessons I've learned from the experience.

Featured: “It’s more government, more bureaucracy, more money, and there’s no oversight. And it’s taxation without representation,. The taxpayers don’t get to pick who these private companies are that our tax dollars are going into. So that is not a free market.” texasobserver.org/school-vouch…

It’s not surprising that there are a thousand (?) people at the Berkeley, California #TeslaTakedown protests, including so many old friends.

But across the country, deep in the suburbs, people are finding each other and building networks at Tesla dealerships.

*That’s* what we’ll need to get through some of this.

WoltLab Burning Board is a forum software developed by developers for developers, as well as business class support forums in mind. -- Discourse was not the right choice.

WoltLab's framework is free open source, too. Granted, the forum is paid, but it would have been a better option.

Oh, Muskie, my sweet. Yes, we do want to destroy your "influence" (= complete control), because we believe in democracy. Where ordinary people (remember them?) have a say.

And no, the "Nazi stuff" isn't fake. We saw you, light of my life, heart of my heart's desiring, we *saw* you make a Nazi salute. We *know* you enabled a fascist president, and spent $400 million to get him elected. We *know* you supported the neo-nazi AfD in Germany.

*You* are the evil one.

Just to play along... just a tiny bit. Um. What is an example of "anything positive" ?
in reply to myrmepropagandist

@futurebird He's traipsing around with a kidnapped child & won't let other kids leave the country to visit sick grandmother, he's messing in databases he doesn't understand, cutting off funding for seniors, orphans, health care, farm & emergency aid. His mommy did an interview explaining how he had no choice but to be a fascist because of all those pesky regulations...work situations within his own companies are described as demoralizing. He wants to destroy unions.

And...

It feels to me like we are in a very large Jenga game.

How is pre-existing not in the Firefox (Linux?) dictionary, but pee-existing is? 🤔#spelling

I had hoped that the word "pre-existing" would have fallen out of relevance with the passage of Obamacare.
