Trump making deals:
"What I was going to say," said the Dodo in an offended tone, "was that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race."

Time to get banned. This is why Polish- and Mexican-American people marry each other.

A note on Trump's tariffs: Raw materials like coffee or maple syrup are only a fraction of an item's sale price. Also Colombia is not the only producer: Ethiopia, Jamaica and Brazil also sell coffee.
Do not let your dislike of Trump blind you to corporate price gouging.

One of the hardest challenges of claiming to be a Christian is that we preach by what we do every waking moment. We don't think we're preaching, but everyone can see and hear our sermons of actions if they like.

So Bluesky went to Bain Capital for a round of funding. Bain has earned a reputation as a vulture capital firm that buys up businesses and sells them for parts.
Did Bluesky make any attempt to request funding from us, the users? If they did, where can we buy a bit of Bluesky?

The Rainbow Bridge is Real, Part 3.
A black cat with long hair and a little white locket sauntered over.
"Human?"
"Amaya!"
"Check this out! One moment I go to sleep while you sing me my song, the next I wake up with these! I think you call them thumbs."

Bets then asked me to follow her to her den, which was a box large enough for her to curl up in, with tufts of grass outside.
"You probably have lots of questions."
"Mm-hmm. You bet. Are you happy hear?"

The Rainbow Bridge is Real: The Hunt, Bets' Den
Norm crossed back over the Bridge to Heaven and his beloved human. Bets gestured to me to follow her.
"Look! A red dot! Mind if I catch it?"
"Go ahead."
A red dot of light scooted in front of us and Bets gave chase.

The Rainbow Bridge is Real
Preface: Some years ago, an author wrote a book entitled "Heaven Is Real" which described Heaven as he says he saw it. People liked it so much he went to Heaven again. Then he went to Hell. Then his kid went to Heaven. Then he said he made it all up.

The Republicans revealed an ugly truth about the Democratic coalition: we don't like each other very much.

I'm collecting a little list of names of MAGA who I don't like. If they arrest me, I can say that they recruited me into the resistance...and not be 100% lying. It's etiquette to let the interrogator break a tooth or Crack a rib before spilling.
