“While Trump was president, he didn’t raise or even propose increasing the minimum wage, and was skeptical of how it would help Americans during his 2020 campaign. Trump’s McDonald’s stunt is part of a pattern of appearing to sympathize with working people while enacting policies that benefit the wealthy at workers’ expense.”

All true. Trump has not helped working people even when the House and Senate were held by Republicans. Nor did he do anything about the border.

@Cosmichomicide

Democrats are sending money down ticket.

Republicans are sending it to Trump’s lawyers.

I find Blender painful. Maya is expensive (and messy) but it’s UI beats Blender.

And Maya’s UI is pretty bad.

BUT… no one has actually looked and worse (from the USGS paper)

“‘It is important to caution that these estimates are an in-place assessment. We have not estimated what is technically recoverable based on newer methods to extract lithium from brines,’ said Katherine Knierim, a hydrologist and the study’s principal researcher.”

In other words it may really be there, just technically impossible to extract.

@MrGoat

Okay, that’s just wrong.

Not Safe For Work.

No idea what PAWG means.

@SaltyVeruca

THEY’RE DETACHABLE?!?!

How did I get so old and not know this?!?

Trump doesn’t know his daughter-in-law’s name… or at least mispronounced it.

"I think we're going to do good, and we have Lara… So, Laura is a fantastic person, an unbelievably smart person who works with and knows everybody here and she loves this state."

“Musk's ‘joke’ is steeped in a conspiracy theory that Washington is controlled by what he called ‘the uniparty’ or ‘the machine’”

Interesting as this is the same man “whose billions significantly derive from his role as a government contractor” — is Musk arguing he is a puppet?

Oh! What they mean is it’s NSFW if you are a MAN.

WELL, DUH!

Newsflash: work is not just for men.

How the fuck is this NSFW?

“They want to reach into our doctors’ offices and our bedrooms to control our access to birth control and IVF and, of course, abortion — even though they wouldn’t know a uterus if they had to crawl out of one for a second time. Because, I don’t know about you, but I’d really like to get the government out of my fucking snatch.”

So which words are not safe for work? Uterus? Fuck? Snatch? All have been heard at work.

The flotsam and jetsam that get caught in my brain eventually find release in my posts.

Eventually.

Capitalism BT its very definition is about money. A business is rarely created to NOT make money.

As a venture capitalist once told me, 9 out of 10 companies he invests in fail or break even. This is one of the failures.

Plants do sequester carbon (as well as heavy metals), which is a good thing. It seems to me (without knowing details) they’re doing it wrong.

Obama: “When I hear Donald Trump talk ... he’s very quick to say to Kamala, ‘Well, you were vice president for four years’… Dude, you were president for four years!

“He didn’t solve the problem, and I’ll tell you why. Because he does not have a real plan. He has a concept of a plan, and it’s a mean and ugly plan designed to foster resentment and divide people.

“We do not need a president who will make problems worse just to make his politics better”

The problem with Trump is he constantly lies.

Constantly.

He makes things up because ultimately he knows many people don’t BOTHER to avail themselves of the facts.

Every word he utters is to stab truth in the gut and let it bleed out.
