mainstream Democrats rushed to throw trans people under the bus based on a wild misread of 2024 that conveniently absolved them of responsibility for the loss
"When we look at opinion polls about what actually motivates voters and their choices at the ballot box, trans issues are often dead last. And it’s worth noting that much of that polling makes no distinction between positive or negative views of trans rights." www.liberalcurrents.com/trans-panic-...
Trans Panic? More Like Trans Apathetic
2025 shows trans rights aren't electoral poison. The truth? Most people just don't care that much.

We just won 26-0. Why do I feel we underperformed? Vikings defense was good, their offense was just awful.

For the first time in over 30 years I was back in Buchanan Towers, where I lived 2 years in college. My brain was having issues with some of the changes, overlaying the old with the new.

According the food nerds at the FDA, cooked, refrigerated turkey is safe to eat for 3-4 days from the time it was prepared.
Frozen turkey is good for up to 6 months.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

For those that know me, know I have held a grudge against Apple since the late 80s. Haven't bought anything from them since then. I'm so tempted to get the BF deal they have for 6 months of Apple TV. Great deal, and so many shows I want to watch.

So got my new Google Pixel Tablet. Got a great deal for Black Friday (still going on, look it up if interested). It runs so much better than my old tablet. Only issue is color of the casing, all they had was a white(ish), would have preferred a black one.
