  Will our institutions be intact on Nov. 4 in the United States of America? We will wake up to clear election results in most cases, but, by nightfall, the federal government, which doesn't control, administer, or decide elections, will be sowing uncertainty. They will use today's SCOTUS decision to allow them to employ the SAVE database to say, "according to our analysis, every republican that lost was due to voter identification fraud." It is too late to lawfully use the S...

  I went to a gas station today to fill with diesel. It was a trucker's station, and I drive a car so I got *the looks* and *the advice* when I got there. When I finally found a nozzle which fit my car and started filling up, I commiserated with the guy across from me and the station attendant. The guy was obviously drinking the kool-aid. He said his fuel charges were just a write-off and the prices didn't bother him. He also said, "they're bringing the prices down real fast, th...

  RE: https://stranger.social/@DeniseG/117061132809456409 "Unprofitable post offices." We are such a lost nation that our vital services need to show "profit" to be deemed worthy.

  As much as *scientist me* would like to think this is cool, it is not cool. We are not only letting billionaires trash our planet, but also the interstellar space surrounding our planet. A dead SpaceX rocket will crash into the lunar surface at a super high rate of speed, causing a ejecta plume that will teach us about lunar subsurface geochemistry. But this is not a planned experiment. It is the result of an accident by a private company. It is unauthorized. And more and more stories will unfol...

  RE: https://tomkahe.com/@GiftArticles/116957531770202925 Wait until this news reaches the White House. I think we will hear all kinds of interesting ideas from the self proclaimed greatest bestest president there has ever been.

  My wife is on the phone with #UnitedHealthcare because a surgery she had scheduled for Tuesday next week was denied by the insurance company. The woman who is speaking to her has informed her that there is a nursing support call that is free of charge if my wife needs to discuss the emotions of getting this claim denied and to plan future care. It is such bollocks. USians generally hate our healthcare plans and these companies. Imagine facing surgery and being told that they won't pay for it...

  Eyewitness accounts of the ICE shooting of a Hispanic person in Maine. People don't want this, at all. Why are we letting our government get away with it? https://www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/biddeford-witness-saw-gunshot-victim-bleeding-from-head-2/ #ICE #shooting #ExtrajudicialKilling #execution #immigration #borders #USPol

  RE: https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/116890342772986816 Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't this equate to Rubio screaming from the hill tops "WE ARE FASCISTS!" #antifa #antifascists #USPol #FreedomOfExpression #FreedomOfAssembly

  The Earth does not have a good record of continental crust, or even plate tectonics, for the first 500 million years of its life. A new model shows that the early crust was simply too soft to preserve continental crust or behave like modern plate tectonics because of repeated impacts from large asteroids and associated heat. Without a record of such impacts in Earth's early, unpreserved crust, researchers looked toward the moon to assess how often and how big the early impacts would have bee...

  I have been playing around with anti billionaire posts on Next Door. I am amazed by how many bootlickers there are. I started by making graphs showing how impossibly rich billionaires are. Here is one relating being a billionaire to hourly wages, which most people understand: #EatTheRich #billionaires #DistributionOfWealth #ImpossiblyRich #BootlickersForBillionaires

  I look forward to this time of year - the fragrant blooming of confederate star jasmine. It seems like it is earlier every year, even this year which was a cold winter for us. I always remember these fragrant blooms starting in April. This year I first smelled them on March 27! #ClimateDiary #ClimateDiaries #ConfederateStarJasmine #Florida #TampaBay

  Hmmm. I guess it is #AprilFoolsDay and my daughter beat me to it this morning. Any suggestions so that I don't make a mess of this? #AprilFools #AprilFool #PoissonDAvril
