I was Matt+numbers back...there. No, not him. No, not her either. Yeah, the one who won't pay their nouns.
Otherwise? My bookshelves don't like me any more than my walking shoes, I read cookbooks for fun, and my trivia is more trivial than most.

In a desperate effort to look like he's lowering prices he's only ever driven higher, Trump's supposedly lowering tariffs on some foodstuffs. But one of them is beef; and if we hear anything from MAGAt ranchers it's that they are already losing money. Lowering prices is bad (per them). Oops.

It's going to be fun watching MAGAts tying themselves in knots, trying to explain how some pederastic rape isn't really either of those things...
Tonight on Fox and Friends: Cletus Littlesisterhumper XVII, Grand Kleagle of MAGA, to do just that.

Sad as it is to have to see it this way; but the only upside to the latest self-own by the Senate Dems is that tens of millions of Republicans will lose any possibility of health insurance, and they'll all be watching Trump and his minions take a victory lap for doing it.

There's one nice thing about eating spinach out, even if it is a bit salty: someone else has to deal with the raw/cooked ratio of spinach (which isn't far from the steam/ice ratio of water).

The governor of Virginia and New Jersey races were both called in about half an hour. NYC may not be an all night affair.

Stray shutdown thought:
If the Republicans in the Senate reopen the government (which is in session, so they can do it at any time on a party line vote to make CRs filibuster proof), then the GOP will own 100% of the blame for the roughly 30 million Republicans who are losing health insurance.

I understand that website algorithms are funny things: but I'm still a bit surprised that wanting to hear Ashokan Farewell on a mandolin got me pegged as a MAGAt.

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin.
Here's the video of it running.

Stray Ukraine thought: if the Gripen fighters coming from Sweden include Sweden's Meteor air to air missiles (I haven't seen any information on that, btw), it'd make the job of Russian fighters launching glide bombs a hell of a lot more dangerous. It'd be Ukraine's first long range (200km) AAM.

According to the Russian press, demand for steel dropped 15% in the last ten months; and demand for 'metals' is at the 'lowest level for years'. Even if we don't make that worse to allow for the source, that's really bad in the middle of a war: shells alone are roughly a megaton of steel a year.

Apparently, here in the US, the difference between the median and the average household net worth is 32 percentiles (50 versus 82). That's depressingly close to two standard deviations. But naah, the wealthy aren't getting dangerously wealthier.

Along the route of the NYC march, someone was holding a sign reading 'You know things are bad when New Yorkers are walking this slowly". I think he wins.

Blue skying (as it were): but do you suppose the folks in the military who take the money Trump stole to pay them are potentially opening themselves up to prosecution for possession of said stolen funds?

Remember, boys and girls: if the Republicans didn't want a shutdown, it only took 50 votes in the Senate to make CRs filibuster proof. Not even their whole caucus. They couldn't be bothered to pretend to try.

So now that Trump has told his generals that he will order them to wage war against the United States (without even demanding a loyalty oath to himself first); I wonder if any are even considering upholding their oaths to defend the Constitution. Obviously none of the Republicans, but still.

Reading the news about Russian drones attacking Ukraine: I can't help but note that it takes 20-40 (depending on the range) brand new Geran 2s /Shaheed 136s to carry the bomb load of a single Ju-88. I suspect terror bombing will do less good for Putin than it did for his idol Hitler.

The 9/11 lights are on in Manhattan tonight. The idea was borrowed, all too aptly, from Hitler's architect (Speer); because if it weren't for the Nazis who call themselves Republicans, that attack would have almost certainly have failed and the towers would still be standing.

According to Gallup, 76% of the traitors in the GOP like the direction of the country. Which, if nothing else, tells us that Trump has managed to significantly and personally hurt the other 24% of them (so far).

Stray thought about Trump from a non-health professional: according to said professionals, CVI does not get treated with IVs. But some conditions that can accompany it (especially in a walking risk factor like Trump) do. And from what I've read, they tend to be short term crippling/lethal.
