To the lady who formerly lived here.....

The Oregon state legislature is considering a bill to unilaterally stop the idiocy of changing clocks back and forth every six months in this state. The biggest problem is that part of the Portland metro area is across the state line in Washington, so that part would be one hour different from the rest of the area for half the year.

The US has long been unreliable as an ally. The isolationist delusions being promoted among the right wing here will just make things worse.

A whistleblower speaks out about sexual abuse in the French movie industry.
Finland is opening three hundred public shooting ranges to encourage citizens to keep up their weapons skill in case of a Russian attack.

The West is at risk of blocking Israel from destroying Hamas, and thus of just sinking back again into the same old round of negotiations and ceasefires which has always kept the conflict dragging on and on.

I just read that measles is up 79% worldwide. It’s truly sad that things that are so preventable are still killing people. But then again, people continue to smoke, not wear helmets, and eat ultra processed foods, so refusing a vaccine isn’t any different.
Chat/GPT: Rubbish, yes; delightful rubbish, Hell Yes. I read it twice just for fun. I will choose to drive in this beer.
Bijoux: I guess we just have to think of it as natural selection in action.
Tim: I didn't have the patience to read much. Remember, nobody actually wrote that. Any humor isn't intentional. It's just random babbling.
With regard to the purported massive trucker boycott of NYC, I saw photos of abundant fruits and veggies taken inside a NY market by someone sardonically reporting on the scarcity due to the boycott.
Thank you for linking to my animal fun videos—and for your scholarly comment!
I'll have to remember later this week to check how the trucker embargo is going. So far none of the news sites have mentioned it that I've seen, so it can't be having much impact (if it's happening at all).
Thanks for the post!
