I sense a future in advertising, or politics. Or both. Although there is a high risk of ICE moving in from the west overnight, and detaining you for mocking the orange windbag.

He will be in the most perfect health. An Olympic specimen. Exemplary condition. Ripped to the core. Worthy of adoration and worship. The heart of a teenager. The cognitive acuity of a super-genius. A new standard of geriatric health that no other can even dream to attain. 🙄

What's wrong with his health, NBC?

There's the hand bruise, the rambling, the slowness, and the inability to stay awake or answer questions coherently.

Breakingviews - China's slim AI budgets are self-reinforcing

Fears are growing that spending on advanced chips and data centres is inflating an investment bubble in the United States. A price war, Washington's export controls and Beijing's worries about overcapacity mean China may end up with the opposite problem: not spending enough.

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

Good on Kelly & Gallego!

Johnson is holding the country hostage. Arizona sent Adelita Grijalva to represent them, but Johnson’s refusing to swear her in until he gets his way on the shutdown. Blocking a duly elected member is fascist blackmail.
Ripping away healthcare while obstructing justice.

There will never be a ceasefire as long as Netanyahu is alive. He, and those who enable him, will use any excuse to murder Palestinians, Syrians, Iranians etc, and there will be those on the other side who will do the same.

The ancient Hebrews started out being polytheistic before Abraham or someone set them straight. The god of the Bible was really El, the Semitic god who fought Baal all the time. And his wife was Asherah (Astarte). When El got conflated with Hadad of the Storms, the God of today began to take shape.

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.
