You're right. Sorry.

I had a bad day, and my wife's been listening to political shows all day.

Makes me crazy.

The NRA should get back to teaching gun safety and basic shooting skills, instead of shilling for AR-15 sellers.

Then maybe potential assassins would be more accurate.

My wife worked with dementia patients for over 40 years. She's always thought Alzheimers is associated with environmental factors.

Remember when it was aluminum? I've always suspected aerosol 0deodorants. Interesting article. 30 years of futility? Oh my.

Janet Yellen, Secretary of the Treasury, is as incompetent and complicit as crooked Merrick Garland as AG.

She's absolutely failed to ensure the Secret Service is neutral, effective, and both incorruptible & loyal to the constitution.

The fascist actors embedded in civil servant and other positions in government are still free to follow their own agenda. They don't fear facing justice.

And they should. We used to hang traitors. I'm a big fan of capital punishment.

If you're watching the news about, or experiencing extreme, dangerous weather; be aware that it's only going to get worse from here on out.

There's nowhere in the world that's going to avoid danger as the earth responds to the way we've abused it the last 150 years.

Hang onto your hats, folks: it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Good luck, and be well.

@ToolPackinMama They truly don't want the mobiles to move. The exhibit is titled: "Calder: Art in Motion". Unironically.

At the Calder exhibit at Seattle Art Museum. Just got told off for blowing on a mobile.

His art was designed to move - but the museum can't allow it to be shown that way, in case it gets damaged.

Considering how simply one could reproduce/ repair the works, they really aren't displaying his art, but simply his constructions.

They learn this in "art" school, I guess.

You can register a home business at your home address. Just start "True Blood Consulting". You don't have to actually get paid for consultations.

Having owned a microscope as a kid, the most important part isn't the optics; it's the lighting for the stage. Microscope optics, while not unimportant, mean nothing if you can't provide enough photons of the correct "color temperature" and polarization, at the proper angles (including backlit).

For engendering love of science and visualization of the microscopic world, a simple handheld, portable digital wand that interfaces with a pad or phone is probably sufficient

Meh.

It's not inflation raising prices: it's corporate profits. But the average moron can't understand that.

It doesn't matter how many votes you get. What matters is who counts those votes, and increasingly, who can disenfranchise the most voters.

Please, everyone: go to https://vote.gov to make sure you aren't a victim of dirty tricks.

It just takes a minute. Do it now, and make everyone you know do the same.

@feloneouscat

Record high prices are because of record high profits, not inflation.

Big hint: not Disney, lol.

How about let's stop carving out tax loopholes to exploit, and simply tax all income the same.

No lower tax on passive income (capital gains), business profits vs wages, or share ownership as salary.

Tax it all the same, with tough marginal rates. Boom! No more deficit, a start on fixing wealth inequality, lower rates for people who need them - not for rich pricks.

That's just a typical Thursday for PPD.
