They’ve been called Nazis so much, they have to downplay what the Nazis did (and what they’d like to do). They can’t believe they’re becoming monsters.

You don’t speak the local language; are you looking to learn, to try to connect with the locals? An extended bus trip can provide that. If you’re just trying to get from one place to another, personally, I’d take the plane.

Edit: did cross-county USA twice by bus: NYC to SF, and a few years later LA to Philly. It was an interesting experience. I’m glad I did those trips, and I’ll by happy to not ever have to do them again.

iirc, they have to start printing the ballots by early next week, to comply with deadlines in getting the early ballots out to voters in time. Fucking conservatives trying to run out the clock so that there isn’t enough time [oops so sorry] to have the measure on the ballot.

If BBC Science Magazine was texting me at 1.29am to ask “Why do the British talk about the weather so much?”, BBC Science Magazine and I would be having words - especially if they texted me six hours later to ask about plants!

Interestingly, that same CNBC report finds that households that earn less than $50,000 a year typically fall under that first category, less than $500 in checking. Those earning up to $75,000 have less than $5,000 in checking, while those households earning more than $200,000 have at least $10,000 in checking.

How is that interesting?! “Oh, hey, look at this! The people who make the least have the least in checking, while those who make the most have more!” wtf kind of revelation is that?

David Rothman was in his work clothes and Albert Einstein was dressed for the beach when they posed on this rock at Horseshoe Cove in Nassau Point in the summer of 1939. (Photo by Reginald Donahue/Courtesy the Rothmans)

If we stopped all shipments today, Israel still has enough weapons and ammo to continue their current spree for about 8 months. I say we cut them off and send these munitions to Ukraine instead.
