I don't watch cable tv that often. But when i do, it's random stuff. 🫨 Today's random watch = "Real Housewives of Salt Lake." 😕 uggg. Aimless contrived drama among tacky, selfabsorbed people. Why is this a show?? Who asks for this?

They are busy, they got stuff to do. Normally they just endorse whomever they work with. But!! The mayor won't work with them on anything.

We now *know* what to do to stop climate change.

Project Drawdown has analyzed trillions of data points, spent tens of thousands of hours, and has done the hard work to find evidence-based solutions.

No more handwaving. No more greenwashing. Just science.

And we're giving it away for *free*.

lol. For racist white guys who say they love Hitler, “due process” and “fairness.”

For Latino fishermen accused of drug smuggling, summary execution.

Also, it’s amusing to demand due process here. You’re experiencing social sanction, fellas. No one is sending you to prison.

I think the most frustrating thing about all of this is that they said they were going to do it before they did it and that didn't matter at all.

'Make it stop.' For lawmakers, the shutdown feels like purgatory (but with Thai food)

On Capitol Hill, there has been almost no sign of progress toward ending the shutdown. Senators say they aren't even formally negotiating, which begs the question: what are they actually doing?

Jim Caveizal will no longer return as Jesus in ‘THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST’ sequels.

They are currently looking for someone to fill the role.
