Pretty old but the older I got the more progressive I became. A good book, coffee, a cookie and I’m set. Ridiculous rule follower: I cross at crosswalks, return my grocery carts and clean my lint filter after each use.

If I had a choice it would be lying. Crazy +nuclear code seems exponentially worse.

But I suspect it’s both.

Here we go. Israel is going to violate the agreement. They bombed Gaza to gravel and now expect Hamas to instantly produce the bodies. And they are again punishing the innocent. This is just a pretext for Israel.

And I in no way support Hamas.

Flying is scary enough without having to look at that face.

Always displaying the maturity we need in a cabinet secretary charged with keeping us safe…

From CNBC this am. :

“Stocks surged on Monday, rebounding from Friday's sell-off after President Donald Trump said trade relations with China "will all be fine."

And the traders believe him?? 😂😂
The only thing more unstable than his mind is his tariff policies.

Well we all heard the recording of the shakedown- “ Do me a favor though” - releasing funds to Ukraine for personal political gain.

This is not a one off. It is a repeat error. Imagine if Biden had done something like this even once.

I don’t use it anymore. I found alternate sources for all my subscribe and save items and I look elsewhere for everything else.

I’m with you. When people start to go in the right direction then I think we should encourage them.

meandbean.bsky.social @meandbean.bsky.social · 2d

Looking forward to it.

If a teacher did that to a student, the teacher would be fired and charged with child abuse.

I can see no reason why throwing a child to the ground by a big goon should get a pass.

Read in the NY Times this morning that 25% of farmers rely on the Affordable Care Act and “ cannot afford for health insurance costs to triple at the end of the year”.

For the 78% of them who voted for Trump…well good.

I saw that work on my mother. Put on an anti-depressant and 60+ years of being gratuitously mean to just about everyone changed her to being just plain nice. Thanks for this post.

Thank you. Understand that I am very ignorant on this subject so I am wondering if they switch to another main crop-let’s say corn or another, doesn’t that increase the supply of corn or whatever and depress the price for those farmers already growing it? I see why it is a nightmare.

Private insurance plans are a sinkhole for Americans.

The Piece President. He wants a piece of the crypto action. He wants a piece of the Gaza waterfront. He wants a piece of Greenland.
