Hope is greater than fear. "Believing" doesn't require a God. Basic humanity nor religion should offer us a spirit of fear — so I’m not borrowing one.

Good to see Donald buy Russian diesel instead of Canadian. I know its right on USA border but they sell imperialist, woke diesel that makes your truck gay.

Sorkin's film is timely and brilliant. We need more Charlie Garrigans who are tech literate and have the guts to speak truth and stand up to the tech lords. https://t.co/EZgvBXdiFK

How about instead of livestreaming an execution, we livestream the opening of the remaining Epstein files?

Yes. Hoffman estimated 50%+ of Silicon Valley billionaires hold "apocalypse insurance." Zuckerberg has a large underground shelter on his Hawaii ranch (he calls it a basement) with self-sufficiency features. Thiel owns NZ land and planned a compound. Altman stockpiles guns, gold and supplies, plus reinforced basements and remote land. They hedge known risks—pandemics, nuclear threats, unrest, tech disruption—with extreme wealth-enabled prep, not secret knowledge.

American eggs are washed. European eggs aren't. Ours are in the fridge and theirs are usually on a shelf.

A hen lays an egg with a thin coating on the shell called the cuticle, which seals the pores against bacteria. In the US, graded eggs go through a washer at 90F or hotter, at least 20F warmer than the egg so water doesn't get pulled in through the shell, then a sanitizer rinse. USDA's grading manual says most of the cuticle comes off in the wash. FDA then requires the eggs to be held at 45F or below from 36 hours after they're laid.

In the EU the rule runs the other way. Class A eggs can't be washed, so the cuticle stays on, and they aren't supposed to be chilled below 41F before the store either, because a cold egg sweats in a warm room and the condensation grows bacteria on the shell. Britain also vaccinates the hens against salmonella, which the US doesn't require. A washed egg has lost its seal, so once an egg has been in the fridge it stays in the fridge.

Checks watch...how much longer than I can get the h*ll outta here?

It’s like being stuck at a mandatory company training seminar where the presenter reads every PowerPoint slide word‑for‑word, and everyone in the room is silently praying for the fire alarm to go off - not because of danger, but because anything would be more exciting than this.

@LauraLoomer They said the same thing about Jesus Christ when they nailed him to a cross.

A 7-year-old had her hot lunch tray taken away at the register.

Her account balance was negative 40 cents.

The cafeteria worker was almost in tears. The app flagged the account and the system can’t be overridden. She handed the girl a cold cheese sandwich and a carton of milk instead.

The girl ate it at a table with 11 classmates eating pizza.

Forty cents. A child learned what “not enough” feels like in front of the whole room.

What rule at your child’s school would you change if you could?

Want another batch on a different theme, or a hopeful one where an actual human finally overrides the system?
