“My preference for the 2024 presidency is someone sensible and centrist. I had hoped that would the case for the Biden administration, but have been disappointed so far,” Musk said on #Twitter. CENTRIST? DeSantis? 🙄
Hey peeps, you’ve got 2 more years of subtle & heavy gas lighting - learn how to recognize it. Better yet, stop the weak rationalizations for your Twitter dependence & leave. 🤷♂️
I went to the zoo this afternoon with a small group of Black Friday avoiders. It was a nice clear day in the 40s. Good to be out in the air, ambling around. The best parts included the near-fearless ducks, plain, ordinary mallards. They were on walkabout, away from the big ponds. They've gotten used to folks feeding them popcorn enough that they have hope in their hearts when they see ya sit down on a bench. then saw young baby about being ga-ga over the different animals it was seeing.
High 90s is our 'average' daytime temp. But we are not particularly humid, so it feels cooler in the shade. In the past we used to have an evening/night time cooling from about 25-30 degrees below the day time temp (desert nights are cooler), but with climate change, we've been seeing warmer overnight temps the last couple of years. And that really sucks.
I hope all who observe the day has a Happy Thanksgiving. 🥖🍗🥦🍠🥧

El Paso County appears especially hostile to the law. It joined nearly 2,000 counties nationwide in declaring themselves “Second Amendment Sanctuaries” that protect the constitutional right to bear arms, passing a 2019 resolution that says the red flag law “infringes upon the inalienable rights of law-abiding citizens”

Good morning. Still trying to get used to this site even though I signed up weeks ago. Have a tree pic.

America's election systems are more than just machines – they're people, who are overworked, underpaid and feeling pressured.
"But as a scholar of voting systems, I believe the focus on the machinery of elections has obscured a different threat to the nation’s elections: Local election administrators work under increasingly difficult circumstances, with dwindling resources and mounting challenges."

So basically, they are telling the world they don't give a shit what the 'great negotiator' says or does & are telling you to fuck off every chance they get. Meanwhile the only people affected by your antics are in the US. Like farmers for example, who u have to bail out.
Cool.

Trump asks Florida rally crowd: "How do you stop these people" from crossing the border?
"Shoot them!" a rally attendee shouts out.
Trump: "That's only in the panhandle you can get away with that stuff. Only in the panhandle."

Who to believe, who to believe? The 2 years of meticulous research guy, or the partisan hack, Iran-Contra pardons guy?
It's a mystery.
