Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

Cartoon: No A.I. I've seen 'no a.i.' images but IMO the best one is the recent MAD Magazine where they retouched their classic cover by Norman Mingo, #166 April 1974 (my brother owned this issue). So I'm made a simple version of it to share. Feel free to save/use/distribute with credit to MAD. Enjoy

They buried the lede a bit. Basically Trump is setting himself up as the final arbiter of what The Law means, and any public servant who disagrees with him is fucked.

The White House has kept the wire service from covering key events because it refuses to call the body of water between Mexico and Florida the Gulf of America, as the Trump administration prefers.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Archaeology course by professor Beike. Lesson one: How to find dinosaur bones. Disclaimer: many archaeologists consider Beike's techniques controversial, some even claim that's a relatively young cow bone and not a dinosaur bone.

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and same height, but she can sing better. We also share the same values, including that every child should have the chance to dream big and succeed. Indiana Republicans should reverse these cuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...

If you ever wondered how a civilized modern country like Germany could have gone so completely and violently insane, you're looking right at it. Shoulda shown up.

Do I have professional grade seed starting trays? Yes. But sometimes you just…plop medium in a plastic baggie, press some seeds into it & hope for the best. Last year I had a 60% germination rate in pro trays for this plant. In this dumb little baggie? 92% (Blackberry lily)🌱

This is what they are trying to dismantle: the right to a job, a living wage, a decent home, medical care, economic security, and education. Fundamental economic protections for all Americans. To secure the health of the republic.

Trying to accomplish today. Going through old clothes, sorting out what to toss, to donate, and to be repurposed. We're not fast fashion people, so this is like scaling Mt Fuji if it were made of 20+ years accumulation of t-shirts and denim.

Over the past week, several recent ex-State Dept officials reached out to me with a major concern. DOGE could soon access a huge defense-export database that represents a massive, if not transformational corruption opportunity for Musk & allies. Meet USXports:

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

I know cover artists often get short shrift, but what the Hell happened here? Cover Left is gorgeous. Cover Right is PAINFUL. Istvan is generic, I'll live. But Clara? With a giant gut? Her build as described should be akin to She Hulk, not this elongated Danny Divito. Also, the weapons are wrong.
