Fantastic! Until quite recently my dad (pushing 90) played "walking football" (soccer) with a group of like-minded, still-active old farts like himself. This is how to live!

Imagine we embraced doping in sports. I'm thinking of a fork, like professional vs amateur but "clean" vs "doped up to the eyeballs". What level of chemically enhanced human performance might be possible? How will we know if we don't try? Every 4 years nations would compete in the Pharmalympics...

Excellent thesis including an explanation why orbital data centers make absolutely no sense whatsoever and Elon Musk is more full of shit than you previously thought.

Dang, those perks in her new jail are quite something. She must have told Blanche she could and would destroy Trump if he didn't play ball. The Pardon absolutely will follow. Probably right after the mid-terms.
Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution.
She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority.

Say no to polling places. Follow the example of the West Coast. All mail-in voting with drop-boxes, is the way to go. No lines. No ICE.
You can expect authoritarian violence at the US #Midterms. Be prepared.

I don't always search Legal Arguments, but when I do, I prefer them to be not yet articulated. 🤔
Trump: “The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired … There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!“

1/ The Dolphin Head (Sh2-308) is an emission nebula in the Canis Major region: a huge bubble created by material expelled by the star WR6, swept by its powerful stellar wind.
It’s also a target that drove me crazy for four years before I finally started to get a grip on it. ➡️

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Poland is investigating potential connections between Jeffrey Epstein and Polish victims, as well as possible involvement of Russian intelligence in his activities. The Polish government has set up a special task force.

It's almost as if Trump selected his minions from the Epstein files, in an attempt to hide behind them and insulate himself.
It didn’t matter to Lutnick that Epstein was a known sex offender.
Lutnick still lunched with Epstein, brought his wife and kids around Epstein, and went into business with Epstein.
That’s the reality.
Abuse of women, girls, kids has not been a dealbreaker in media, banking, or politics.

VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children
