A unified Europe is vital for their own defense. Until then they will always be in danger of being picked off one by one. With members like today’s Hungary, however… https://thehill.com/policy/international/5147892-radoslaw-sikorski-united-european-army/

So the Federal workforce is being drained at a time when there is record low unemployment and a MAGA AI is poised to replace government jobs. While it’s easy to assume that MAGA are dummies, we also can’t ignore the possibility that they want to purposely induce depression era unemployment.

I didn’t even know they were making a new Jurassic Park movie. They clone giant copies of John Hammond to roam the island say "Mommy look at the fleas" before stepping on people.

By any chance, were there any things that chicken farms were getting from Canada or Mexico that might make egg prices go up?

I feel like we need to reevaluate all the bond villains on whether they really are as far fetched and over the top as we originally thought.

I never imagined that the big face in the Apple 1984 ads would turn out to be Elon Musk.

If you pay your bills online and get charged a fee that costs more than a stamp, just mail it in. It’ll cost them more to handle the mail. A $3 fee every month is like a $36 a year subscription to something you might actually be enjoying.
