We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

I talked to a fundraiser who said, "Trump is paying off his supporters ..." I said that wasn't the case. Trump can't run again without a coup. He doesn't care about his supporters. If he did, he'd have pardoned the Jan. 6 people who didn't hit police. He's just flexing power.

well so much for ethics ... Now, he’s opening his second term by rolling back prohibitions on executive branch employees accepting major gifts from lobbyists, and ditching bans on lobbyists seeking executive branch jobs or vice versa, for at least two years.

A lot of judges need to have someone in their family have a personal experience with a teen with a gun since they lack empathy otherwise.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

So, you've got racists, libertarians, monarchists, America Firsts, Small Government, militarists, and tariff enthusiasts all trying to run the government when the head guy is a lazy narcissist and things are looking chaotic? Who'd a thunk it?

I called LG yesterday and said I wanted to cancel the order. I'll give them a week before I go to my bank and use them to reverse the order. They called RXO, the local warehouse, and started a trace on the range. It's as if the feds busted them and the warehouse is empty of staff.

So, I bought a new range back in December. We set a date of 1-2 to deliver and install it. RXO, the local people who deliver the ranges for LG didn't deliver it. The help desk has sent multiple e-mails marked urgent. 3 weeks later the warehouse has yet to respond to any of them.

The party that tells young people not to bother with college, bans books, and wants to disband the Department of Eduction is currently annoyed that American workers aren't educated enough for skilled jobs.

Evidently, on "X," formerly known as Twitter, Musk is going crazy because people are lying about him. The bastion of "free speech" is also banning their accounts.
