💯 on board w/ supporting teachers ( don’t know how much ICE folks make ).
Parents are least interested in building the next generation. They want it outsourced to schools and school teachers.
It’s about time teachers get rewarded for this über important task.

US is _probably_ the biggest single country market for Brazilian coffee. I understand if they hold off the sales to US.
But, why not sell to other countries? What am I missing?

Hello #कोजागरी…
💕
Just the #moon at pre dawn hours and nothing else ( I am a simple and transparent dude. So, no photo edits ).
I couldn’t take this type of photo w/ my old #iphone.
#ShotOnMotorola ( learning pro settings )
#Selenophile me is quite happy how the day started.

Would you have said the same thing if the media outlets were owned by democrats?

Full disclosure: I do consider MSM is biased and push some agenda. It is the responsibility of the viewers to coalesce information to find out the facts.

Ah… classic circle of life. ❤️ it…
First we took petroleum products and turned that into plastic.
Now, we can take plastic and turn that into fuel.

Tuesday Soliloquy✨

Are we seeing exuberance in the financial markets?

Case in point: classic money recycling by Oracle > Nvidia > OpenAI > Oracle
and ** massive ** cheer by TV experts.

And, you say?

Manoj Shendye @shendye.bsky.social · Sep 18

After coming back from #India, I had legit excuse to do nothing ( jet lag, you see😇😉 ). Picked 2 #Kdrama ( corp, legal ones; #Agency and #BeyondTheBar ).
Agency Episode 12 ( virtual reality ) hit hard🥹. Excellent performance by all.❤️

#IPL2026
IMO, visa to players from paxtan should not be granted.
Looking at #CrimesAgainstHumanity being committed in bangla desh, no visa for their players.

About time #India does the right thing.
Thoughts?

After modak ( उकडीचे ) + साजूक तूप, jogging was inevitable.😇
Best part of #monsoon in #Pune these days is the soft soaking #rain. Misty, almost dreamy. Fun to 🏃‍♂️.Then filter #coffee ( 🥰 = #amoré ) and yes, healthy breakfast.
I do miss my #Spinn ( #IYKYK ) though.

How about preferreds? I don’t own any utilities so can’t compare yields.

Manoj Shendye @shendye.bsky.social · Aug 22

was seriously impressed till "6 pm".
after 8 pm - 9:30 pm: hello my kinda dude ... i mean, who says no to 🍪, right?

ISIS = people who commit * blood curdling * crimes against humanity.

ICE = people who enforce the law.

Think law is confusing? Demand clarity.
Don’t like the law? Change it.

Don’t blame law enforcement.
