I agree, DiCaprio played the burnt out revolutionary quite well, though it did have a bit of the Jeff Bridges "The Dude" feel. It took me a while to recognize Sean Penn

That was my thought as well. It's been a while since I hung out at the Mac, I was trying to figure out whether it came in thru the garage (not sure if Delta still uses the counters there anymore or on the main level). Security Cameras, maybe??

Mike McCarthy to the Steelers???

Still paying less overall than I was in Oakland Co, Michigan. The weather is better too, except for this weekend. Can't complain. We looked at a few "low tax" areas. Trust me you get what you pay for. I'll pay the little more for a bit of real civilazation, unlike Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, etc

Why are you so concerned about Virginia. It doesn't affect you, aand we don't want your kind. And judging from what I see from Trumpers on places like NextDoor, they don't want anyone else to move in next to them

Once again your propaganda is misleading. The 13.8% Repugakins are pushing combines two separate, proposed taxes that would apply to certain high income and investment income, not to everyone's wages. Only very high earners, basically those with incomes over $1 million would face the 10% top marginal rate and only those same high income households and significant investment income would pay the additional 3.8%. Most Virginians will probably see no change at all.

Now that he's solved Venezuela and Greenland, his current attention is on Cuba....

Cool story. Just learned about this a few days ago... Surprised it took to the mid '80s for someone to recognize and actually do something relatively simple. And the guy took no money for his idea. edit. I see the Journal story was paywalled. Here's another version https://www.autoweek.com/news/a69889877/gas-guage-little-arrow-inventor-has-passed-away/

I'm sure I'm in that database someplace...probably from that moratorium rally I observed in 1969 or "correcting" a conservative social studies teacher on Earth Day about the same time. Probably for a few of my posts here obviously.

And the Trumpian Band plays on...."Nearer our Orange god to thee"

Somewhere in the mid to late '60s early '70s the parties did a major beliefs switch. It was part of Nixon's "Southern Strategy" combined with backlash over Viet Nam. Johnson's Great Society and the Civil Rights Act turned Conservative Southern States against the Democratic Party. Nixon sealed the deal. When the walls came down with the Fairness Act, all hell broke loose. IMO

More Trump Regime TACO

When the "news" organization and Republican Party dissed Fred Rogers they lost me forever. Right now I believe Fox and the GOP owes me about $10 Billion for my suffering https://bsky.app/profile/sethcotlar.bsky.social/post/3md3ym75ts22l

Let me get this straight. Trump says he has a "framework of a future deal" with NATO over Greenland. Is that like the "concept of a plan" for healthcare. Everything he does is halfassed. I expect if he leaves office in 2029 the Grand Ballroom will not yet br completed. Leaving American citizens with another boatload of debt and a big hole in the ground.

Our biggest question mark is whether we are getting ice or snow. As of yesterday the various models are still all over the place. I would prefer snow. Either way I don't think I'm going anywhere this weekend.

There’s no credible evidence supporting this claim. Major outlets (AP, People, local CBS) confirm the tear-gas incident and hospitalizations. No verified reporting or court records link the mother in that case to a 2019 murder/robbery conviction, nor has any investigation found the story to be a hoax. This appears to be name-conflation and social-media speculation, not established fact. If you can find verified court records or mainstream reporting that contradicts this, please share them.

Try credible reporting for a change. No credible outlet has confirmed this was a hoax. AP and others report the kids were hospitalized after exposure to tear gas during federal operations. Claims they “lied for money” come from partisan sites, not verified investigations. If this was a proven hoax, there would be AP/Reuters reporting, police charges, or a GoFundMe fraud finding. None exist. Assertions without evidence aren’t facts
