We've been between 5 and 10 degrees above average for June here about 40 miles South of ATL. In other words, it's fucking hot. Today it's supposed to be 98 F of course and yesterday was 97. it's dry. We've had very little rain in the past week or two. The air quality is usually good, but when we...

I think you're right. The Times does interviews with independents and "double haters" and asks them each about 10 questions. Their answers just show their ignorance in most cases, although the most recent group were thinking about voting for Worm Brain and almost every one of them said they...

My point was that people seemed to be overly concerned about the shootings while ignoring the other things the police do, based on the content of the posts. The shootings are awful, imo, but I think a large part of the problem is that we have so many guns in this country, which sadly sometimes...

Here's another example of police misconduct regarding sexually assaulting teens. https://wapo.st/3Vn3lLg Why do so few of you seem concerned about this, when it's done out of pure malice and most of the time the police officer gets away with it, or only receives a shorts sentence. I get that...

It wan't meant as a dig. Sorry you took it that way. I felt as if the other posters didn't understand exactly what you meant, which is why I said, regardless of what you thought. Sometimes what people write in their posts isn't clearly understood. It appeared that that was the case, and...

I'm sharing another article, if anyone is interested, that explains how the Post investigated this type of misconduct by the police. These are rather long, detailed articles, but it does make you wonder what kind of people are being hired in law enforcement and why so many aren't even brought to...

Regardless of what Loren thinks, shouldn't we all be outraged and disgusted that so many police have abused children and women? Shooting innocent people by the police is one terrible problem, but in I think this is even worse, as these police didn't shoot someone out of fear or a...

I challenge you to read the the entire article I'm about to share from WaPo. It's not about police shooting an unarmed person. It's about a large number of police from many different parts of the country, raping, molesting and sexually abusing in other ways, children and teens. I might add some...

Actually, he probably promised to pay for them, but then didn't give the women the money he promised them. :)

Now, y'all are making me think of the sheriff in Mel Brooks, greatest hit, imo, "Blazing Saddles". The Black sheriff saves the town from a bunch of criminals who want to destroy it for their own greedy purposes. The cool, smart Black sheriff played by Cleavon Little makes the racists look like...

So, let's talk about the Blaxploitation era, movies written, produced and starring Black actors, in an attempt to attract Black urban folks. But, they attracted both Black and white folks, then the NAACP and some Black Christian organization, who's name I can't recall, reigned them in as they...

I am the one who mentioned that dehydration is usually a pleasant way to go. It's in a post, just a few posts before this one. Dehydration usually prevents the gasping sound, known as the death rattle, which happens in the last stages of life, as the person can no longer swallow or cough up the...

True, but it's hard to understand why so many people will support someone who broadcasts the fact that he doesn't care about them. He's been meeting with billionaires and promising them tax cuts, but the poor and the middle class followers of his cult don't seem to care what he says about them...

While this isn't the link I read early this morning, I did find one about tRump meeting with the extremist Christians who want to ban all forms of abortion. https://apnews.com/article/trump-2024-election-abortion-christians-13318983232798e44e9638a33811f844

I guess if you're a young woman or someone who cares about the reproductive freedom of women, you don't consider that a minor issue. I think the article was in the NYTImes. Excuse me. I mean the failing New York Times to quote the orange menace. I don't read Mother Jones, at least I haven't in...

...abortions, including those that were the result of rape or incest, or if the life of the mother is in danger or the fetus can't survive.....How did this happen? How backwards will this country go if the crazy man is elected? It amazes me how anyone with an IQ over 70, can support this man. *sigh*

Sadly, my friend moved to Massachusetts when she found her perfect partner. He is very tall and she is under 5 ft. From what I remember her favorite place to shop for old clothing was the Christian Woman's Thrift Store, even though she's an atheist. I guess they had a better selection there...

The problem with hydropower. Shared article, not behind a paywall https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/04/climate/global-hydropower-decline.html?unlocked_article_code=1.x00.MA6p.xlklwWjtPa8p&smid=url-share

I had a friend who bought most of her clothing at thrift stores. She and I went shopping together once and I was entertained by her shopping at the thrift stores. She was extremely short but she did her own alternations. I can wear jeans off the rack and jeans and yoga pants are the only things...

Since I don't read that many threads, I'm sorry I missed what you said before. I'm not sure about your take. I guess I'll have to investigate this more when I have the time. :)
