Why under 60?

One of my most interesting friends is a retired 68y/o Italian immigrant (we met when he was 62). I met him while cycling up a giant hill week after week. The third or fourth time we saw each other both heading to the same hill we struck up a conversation and started regularly riding together. He was also far better at climbing than I was!

Besides cycling, he had a connection to the local restaurant industry due to his previous career as a wine importer. So our coffee stops were often at places where he knew the staff and more conversations and frindships would arise. After his retirement he had a warehouse full of old wine crates and has started a small business turning those crates into custom furniture that is unbelievably beautiful.

Don't let age be a factor in making friends.

It would be hilarious if Greenland intercepted them and deported them.

Bribe. The word the editor was looking for here is “bribe“.

Do not treat neuro divgerent people with training wheels.

I'm neuro divgerent and it pisses me off when people treat me differently. Yeah, I've got my shit, and I often need things explained to me with clear guidelines, rules, and expectations.

But one thing my neuro divergence doesn't grant me is the ability to act like a shit stain and get away with it while prodding everybody around me antagonisticly.

Our biggest offender would, but they're currently serving a 3-day ban for Sealioning (public mod logs are awesome).

I really want somebody to do some audio overs of things Trump is saying lately with a baby wailing and crying.

Waaah. Waaah. It's too laaaate. Waaah.

What a weirdo.

Didn't this pastor get the memo, witches and Wicca are cool now.

This seems like a brilliant feature to roll out as they're getting investigated by the DOJ for being a monopoly.

Americans, the last Trump presidency was a fucking disaster on so many fronts that ended with a massive pandemic that the management of was sabatagoted by Trump as president while also championing an insurrection.

How the fuck is anybody undecided at this point? You have to have had your head in a hole for the last 8 years to be undecided today.

Former President Donald Trump has drawn the ire of another musical group for unauthorized use of their music. This time, it's the Foo Fighters.

Trump played the band's song "My Hero" when he welcomed former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the stage at a rally in Arizona on Friday[...]

[...]The spokesperson added that any royalties received as a result of the Trump campaign's use of the song will be donated to the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.

Trump owes millions from two civil court cases, but his investment portfolio offers a staggering portrait of wealth.

Donald Trump has submitted his annual financial disclosure, and after a year of lawsuits, legal cases, and grifts, the contents of the documents reflect the turmoil surrounding the former president...

I was hoping it was Kelly or Walz over Shapiro.

To me, as Bernie Sanders flavored "Socialist", Walz is an amazing pick.

However I had a preference for Kelly since I strongly believe that his history as an astronaut and his popularity in a state like AZ could help drive a lot of independent voters to the Democrat's platform come November.

All that said, progressives know that progressive policy is also extremely popular when messaged broadly and communicating the benefits to the invidual and country. Hopefully Kamama & Walz use their experince with their A* campaign team to drive that home. And then fucking deliver.
