Fetterman won Pennsylvania! That is good news. But JD Vance and WWW (whacko white woman) Marjorie Taylor Greene are both in. Colorado looks to finally be done with the other WWW, Lauren Boerbert.
But Florida with the red tide. UGH. Sad to see swamp ass Floridians not getting behind Val Demmings. Look how RED the state went:
UGH. Women just don’t seem to care that they are second class citizens without equal rights.
Also UGH – DeSantimonious is gloating over his win today. Expect to see some mud slinging between the him and tRump over the GOP presidential nomination if/when tRump declares.
Yes, this person wants to be head dick of the GOP:
Idiot. This fool went to my high school. UGH. Only 25% of the country support this. Nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults (73%) say religion should be kept separate from government policies, according to a survey conducted in spring 2022.
Here’s the latest on how the senate race is shaping up as this is publishing:

Did You Know?
Despite how King Leonidas is portrayed as a younger man in popular depictions (like in the 2007 film 300), he was actually around sixty years old when he fought in the Battle of Thermopylae
Did You Know?
In terms of familial trees and genealogy, the term “removed” as in “first cousin once removed” indicates the generational distance between the family members; your first cousin once removed includes both your parents’ first cousins (which are one generation removed from you) and also the children of your own first cousins (because their children are still cousins, but one generation removed from you).

JOKE:
THE £50 pound note
It’s a slow day in the town and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.
A tourist visiting the area drives through the town, stops at a hotel, and lays a £50 pound note on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night. As soon as he walks upstairs, the hotel owner grabs the note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
(now… pay attention)
The butcher takes the £50 and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the £50 and heads off to pay his bill to his feed supplier.
The guy at the supplier takes the £50 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her “services” on credit.
Now, the hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.
The hotel proprietor then places the £50 back on the counter so the traveller will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveller comes back down the stairs, stating that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the £50 pound note and leaves.
No one produced anything and no one earned anything!
However… the whole village now thinks that they are out of debt and there is a false atmosphere of optimism and glee!
And that, my friends, is how a government works!
JOKE:
Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car.
She writes:
Dear Grand-daughter,
The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a
‘Honk if you love Jesus’ bumper sticker.
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a
thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting.
So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed.
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn’t notice that the light had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn’t honked, I’d never have noticed.
I found that lots of people love Jesus!
While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy,
and then he leaned out of his window and screamed,
‘For the love of God!’
‘Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!’
What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started honking!
I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those loving people.
I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!
There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach.
I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air.
I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.
He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign right back.
My grandson burst out laughing.
Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking toward me.
I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.
So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters and drove on through the intersection.
I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared.
So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window, and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!!
Will write again soon,
Graham Martin is in Hospital! 🏥😬
Who the hell is GRAHAM?
Well, Graham is the geezer who got home late one night and Helen, his wife, asks him, “Where the hell have you been?”
Graham replies, “I was getting a tattoo!”
“A tattoo?” She frowned. “What kind of tattoo did you get?”
“I got a hundred dollar note tattooed on my privates,” he said proudly.
“What the hell were you thinking?” She said, shaking her head in disgust. “Why on earth would a Certified Public Accountant get a hundred dollar note tattooed on his privates?”
“Well, one, I like to watch my money grow.
Two, once in a while I like to play with my money.
Three, I like how money feels in my hand.
And, lastly, instead of you going out shopping, you can stay right here at home and blow a hundred dollars anytime you want.”
JOKE:
A Priest kept chickens at his village.
One evening the cock went missing.
At the church mass prayer gathering, the priest asked, – “Who has a cock?”
All the men got up.
“No, I meant who has seen a cock?”
…All the women got up.
“No, No, Who has seen a cock that isn’t theirs?”
…Half the women got up.
“Oh, for Heaven’s sake, Who has seen my cock?”.
All the nuns got up.
Why aliens keep talking about humans is Destroying the planet earth.
Just for your information, 95% of humans don’t know that.
The one percent of human who control the oil and cars and big Manufactures are the one to Blame.
I’m as regular humans, can anyone tell me how can I be better for the planet earth ?
Biohazard signs line the beach at Aquatic Park after recent rain pushed sewage that could contain E. coli bacteria into the ocean.
San Francisco’s beach quality hotline noted “elevated bacteria counts” at Aquatic Park and Sunnydale Cove at Candlestick Recreation Area from samples collected Tuesday that meant any “contact recreation” would be unsafe.
Ocean contamination is of particular concern in San Francisco given its unique dual sewage system, which makes it the only coastal city in California to have the same pipes treating both wastewater and stormwater.
Rude behavior is on the rise, according to a new study published in the Harvard Business Review, Emily writes.
Why it matters: Not only does incivility harm those on the front lines of health care, education, transportation, and retail, to name a few industries, but it also hurts the businesses and institutions where it happens, writes Christine Porath, a professor of management at Georgetown University who’s long studied incivility.
She defines incivility as ignoring people, intentionally undermining them, or mocking, teasing and belittling them.
By the numbers: Porath surveyed 2,000 workers and customers across more than 25 industries globally.
73% said it was not unusual for customers to behave badly; up from 61% in 2012 when she did a similar survey.
In this year’s survey, 66% of respondents said bad customer behavior toward other customers is more common than it was five years ago. In 2012, just under half of the respondents said this.
What’s happening: Porath points to higher stress levels, weakening community and workplace connections; as well as the greater disconnects wrought by technology.
What they’re saying: “Research shows that rudeness is like the common cold: It’s contagious, it spreads quickly, anyone can be a carrier — at work, at home, online, or in our communities — and getting infected doesn’t take much.”
The bottom line: The rise of incivility ultimately comes back to bite us all.
We humans have added corium to the planet.
Corium is a discovery that was discovered by accident. Although discovered by accident, this discovery is still a human invention. When a nuclear power plant (NPP) breaks down, its fuel rods turn the surrounding environment into nuclear lava. This highly radioactive lava can melt anything so that this substance dissolves with other foreign matter as long as this substance remains at a high temperature, this substance is looking for a place to settle. This is “Elephant Feet”.
It was found at the bottom of the Chernobyl reactor.
On April 26 1986 the Soviet power plant in northern Pripyat, Ukraine violated the maximum safety test limit, causing the RBMK reactor to explode. Whereas, previously, an explosion was impossible in this type of reactor.
Exposing the fuel rods exposes the fuel rods to high heat. Exposing it to excess can cause it to snap and snap in place. The fuel rods will vaporize the surrounding water, making the water very hot, which, once the water is put back in, will cause the core to explode and blow up the roof of the building.
Furthermore the rods can heat up indefinitely without being refrigerated. This causes the stem and its surroundings to melt to the bottom. Most of the cooled lava is quickly trapped under the floor. while the hottest and most dangerous materials continue to the bottom of the power plant. This material will continue to gather in one place. This lava is called Corium.
When corium is first formed, people can experience radiation sickness, just by looking at it, a person can experience death if they are near it for 2 minutes.
It was reported that the person who photographed the elephant’s foot died a week after he took this photo. Although it sounds plausible, no one has verified the veracity of this news.
Years later, the radiation exposure is not as dangerous as it used to be. Currently, it takes 3 hours for anyone nearby to die. So, in my opinion Corium is the most dangerous invention of mankind.
Aliens talk about humans destroying because that is just what we are doing to it. We use fossil fuels which destroy the ozone layer. That causes the ice caps to melt. That causes the seas to rise. That cause land erosion. That is just the beginning of the damage we are doing to the earth. The burning of fossil fuels causes climate change. That means we have longer and stronger hurricanes, tornados, and no rain in many areas. No rain means forest fires, all that smoke and lost of trees means more carbon dioxide and other bad gases that destroy the life forms on the planet.
The use of non biodegradable plastics is poisoning the land and seas. Soon the oceans won’t be able to sustain the land mammals. We over fish the oceans. Already we have depleated the Snow Crabs.
Over use of the land has caused the extermination of hundreds of thousands of species. Shit from pigs has poisoned the earth with pig feces. The list of bad things we humans are doing to our planet is practically endless
I like this. Thought I would share.

Security Cameras Make Us Feel Safe, but Are They Worth the Invasion? [nytimes.com]
Brian X. Chen unplugged his security webcam in the wake of San Francisco’s new camera ordinance, “which gives police the right to request access to live footage of privately owned internet cameras.” He warns: “the implications of the increasingly tightknit relationship between tech corporations and government agencies should make us seriously assess how we use our cameras — so that we can protect our privacy in the long term.”

A whopping $1.37 trillion in mortgage holder equity vanished in the third quarter, thanks to falling home prices, according to calculations by mortgage technology firm Black Knight, Emily writes.
It’s the sharpest single-quarter decline, by dollar value, since 2000. On a percentage basis, it’s the steepest drop since 2009.
This is real estate, so there are big variations depending on location. The most significant drops in equity are in San Jose (24%), Seattle (21%) and San Francisco (20%).

Brain teaser:
This one from Sumeria in 1200 BC, is a brain teaser.
“Three ox drivers from Adab were thirsty: one owned the ox, the other owned the cow and the other owned the wagon’s load.
“The owner of the ox refused to get water because he feared his ox would be eaten by a lion; the owner of the cow refused because he thought his cow might wander off into the desert; the owner of the wagon refused because he feared his load would be stolen.
“So they all went.
“In their absence, the ox made love to the cow which gave birth to a calf that ate the wagon’s load.
“Problem: Who owns the calf?”
Idk but the wagon load owner is shit out of luck
