  1. I must admit the story lasted much longer than I predicted. I thought like every other Trump thing this one would disappear from coverage within a week. I was wrong. Edit: still don't see it costing him any republican machine support.

  3. I'm behind as this is from 7/21. Still. You know, the criminals, the rapists. Yeah, all them. https://www.opb.org/article/2025/07/21/new-video-ice-agents-arrest-father-beaverton-preschool/
  4. That's a fair discussion and I don't have a good answer. I know logically that airplanes are the safest way to travel. But sometimes turbulence scares me on a non-logical level. No real logic to the fear. Just happens. I even know in my head 'you're being stupid right now.' Doesn't always stop it. I personally don't believe in an afterlife. And I mean no offense at all to those who do. But I grew up believing in one so death wasn't scary, it was just the next phase. Now I personally hate the idea of non existence. I know one day its coming and there is nothing I can do about it. But I still hate the idea. But I hate even more the idea of losing my brain as a I go out. I guess its the ego. I hate the idea of being confused and lost even more so than we are on a regular basis. I'm also very aware that I'm lucky enough to be enjoying life in my fifties way more than my 30s. I live in a place I love with people I love. Related to your question I absolutely give attention and gratitude to the every day of existence (and knowledge of said existence). I relish all the discussions with my teenagers whenever they happen. I'm quite attuned to the impermanence of it all and try to just be mindful of the moment. But yeah, seeing my otherwise healthy Father start to lose it causes me to be a bit sad, a bit depressed, a bit fearful. Sorry for the ramble.
  5. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/28/health/alzheimers-disease-walking-exercise-wellness I'm sure all these studies are good and absolutely movement is important. My own Father is starting to exhibit sure signs of sundowner's and random lost moments. At other times sharp as a tack, just talks slower. He's 81. He always took care of his cardio. Was random with his weight lifting. Slim build. Due to various reasons we've never been super close. I called him on Father's Day and we had a 20 minute conversation. Everything was fine and then around minute 15 he couldn't follow me at all. Shook me (and I didn't think it would). I had heard about him having random falls here and there. I'm going to visit him in August because I know once this stuff starts it never gets better. I guess I'm saying obviously we should do the best we can regarding exercise, diet, e.t.c but there are no guarantees other than death one day. I know duh, that's no revelation. My Dad is the youngest of four brothers all still alive. Some have had cancer battles, one has a pace maker, all 3 drink. two of them heavily. Dad is a teetotaller. Yet Dad is the one developing quite obvious dementia symptoms. For all I know the exercise kept him from developing them earlier. I resemble him physically more than any of my other siblings. So it spooks me that I'm looking at a similar fate at some point regardless of whether I exercise, take care of my diet, whatever.

  8. Whole story is awful as all of these tend to be. But for all the 'one day someone is going to shoot ICE talk':
  9. Interesting which of the 3 didn't get a helmet.
  10. well now to be fair, maybe that's why he is spitting in cups and providing hair samples, something I have never had to do myself. not to cast aspersions or anything.
  11. Yeah she does have balls to talk about how Donald Trump was best friends with Epstein and they raped underage girls together.
  12. Happened to just watch this and then decided to make sure it was posted here. Worth quoting. Greatness.
  13. As noted not unexpected but still totally sucks. Glad I got to see him with Sabbath at an Ozzfest years back. RIP.
  14. I'm a bit behind on this one and I don't watch late night TV. https://newrepublic.com/article/198120/stephen-colbert-cancellation-ellison-trump But that is some bullshit. Look how free we are. Just don't criticize the most openly corrupt asshole in our history. Fuck Larry Ellison too while I'm at it.
  15. So Murdoch owns both Fox and WSJ but on their website Fox is ignoring this. No surprise but interesting that one of his outlets released it and the other does their usual cover up
  16. I have written Mr. Wyden and am generally pleased with his replies. Have I mentioned I love living in Oregon? Entire article: https://archive.is/WjGUz
  17. "I'm going to sue his ass off" made me really lol.
  18. Sure hope there were follow up questions. I bet the WH press just lit him up. Sigh.
  19. As predicted. Very top of reddit right now. Took less than a week to move on to why are people still talking about this. Lulz at the entire 'tearing themselves apart' story line.
  20. Not that it will matter and I think I'm relatively neutral on ol Rosie. But this was a great reply.
  21. Sigh. Maga is not at war with itself. MAGA is just temporarily disappointed in one area but loves dear leader. MAGA would all line up and vote for him for a third term. This will be yet another nothingberder very soon.
  22. a bit cathartic.
  23. DHS Tells Police That Common Protest Activities Are ‘Violent Tactics’ | WIRED Finally I'm a real rebel. BRB going to do some ollies at the next protest and get branded as dangerous.
