Here's a song we can all relate to while you give your eyes a break from reading. Hope you enjoy it :-)

'Butterflies' no match for the GOP's CBP: "..activists set up a tree-sit in an attempt to protect the last remaining grandmother tree. At least one person sat or slept in the tree at all times. For 71 days, people camped out in private property just north of the tree and took turns occupying it."

One sentence to prove this country is full of fucked up people: "Condemned prisoners there can choose among authorized execution methods."

Tillis Admits It--Job more important than Country: “Republicans who agreed to go along with the early demands of the Trump team no matter how ridiculous they were, believing that failing to do so would mean the end of their political career, and who now see that things have gone way too far.”

The End is Near: “A Bolsonaro win — aided by Trump and Big Tech billionaires — will be the likely end of the Amazon, the lungs of the earth..If you have young kids, you are watching them get locked into an extremely dangerous future. You’re not mad enough at the fascists and their collaborators.”

Knowledge is Power (so ban books): The bans involved a “record number of unique titles” – exceeding 7,000 – involving more than 4,000 authors, illustrators and translators. Analysts found 114 school districts which banned books during the school year, “the highest number ever for a single year”.

Hassett's face makes me think of a cow pie.

Have worked a fuel desk. Semis hold 200 gal, every penny is $2 more to fill up. Glad am no longer doing that job. "Now, small trucking operators are increasingly filing for bankruptcy, with the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association warning more will follow if fuel prices remain elevated."

OMG OMG OMG-- ..but [Elbridge Colby, the under secretary of defense] did admit that the Defense Department was actively conducting a “classified review of U.S. nuclear employment guidance, with the goal of increasing options available to the president..”

(Black) Girl Power: "Four astronauts pulled up at the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday after launching on an eight-hour express that set a US speed record, and that created further history with the first Black woman to lead a crew to orbit."

Pray your parents aren't brain-dead bible-thumpers in Idaho: "The sect had at least 15 avoidable deaths among children from 2015 through 2025, according to healthcare professionals who reviewed their records for ProPublica."

Yep, the BBB will be kicking in, and kicking heads in, soon after the midterms..

The only difference between the Musk/Bezos of the world, and the other prob around 98% of people, is they have and others have not. If given the chance, almost everyone would trade places with a billionaire in a heart beat. That is equally as bad as hoarding, it's just not apparent or acknowledged.

Going exactly as planned..

Human beings are unredeemable.

The hypocrisy is mind-numbing.
