A downside to literally no one in this Administration understanding basic economics is that "we're going to raise tariffs until you give up Greenland" is the econ version of "I'm going to repeatedly kick myself in the testicles until you do what I want" www.cnbc.com/2026/01/17/t...

Happy Easter! Today is Easter Monday, the day of resurrection, and the holiest day of theChristian calendar. Peace be with you all, and may we all strive to live up to the values and ethics Jesus taught us.

Reminder that France has some islands off the coast of Newfoundland. And that Denmark and Canada share an island.

Looking forwars to making an old recipe fromy grandmother's cookbook; Three Egg Cake. Followed by profiteroles that requires an entire dozen.

Russian culture. An old lady slips and falls on a crosswalk. No one passing by even stops to help. A car drives over the old lady. Even so, no one moves to help. Khabarovsk, Russia.

Of all the Americans who profess to fight for themselves and their families, I did not expect Hip Hop and Rap to roll over and be Broligarchy lap dogs. Those lyrics and attitudes were for show only I guess.

#booksky, I am searching for a movie I saw on tv about 10 years ago. It was a dystopian alt u take on America. Society purposely kept in a 1950s "utopia". The hero teens figure out its all fake. The Presidency was given to a figurehead. Maybe story by Vonnegut or Dick. Any ideas?
