But then how would people make money off the election?

note how long it took the French from calling the election to holding not 1 but 2 votes? and organizing the shit out of the second one? LESS THAN ONE MONTH A national election does not have to be a painful 1.5-2 year process! the US election campaign should quite honestly not even have started yet!!

This guy was such a G for telling his evil wizard cyborg boss that his religion is bullshit during a work meeting.

Just an absolute blast of a time at the Thorns game tonight with my son. If you have never sat (stood) in the supporter’s section of a Thorns (or Timbers) soccer game you are missing out.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

When you shoot off fireworks you’re doing a 9/11 on every dog in the neighborhood. Perhaps you can go to the Children’s Hospital & punch some cancer patients after?

Filling in for @bubbaprog.ilovecitr.us on the sporting event screen caps. It was hot at the FC Dallas vs Portland Timbers MLS match tonight.

lord, I see what you’ve done for others…

Holy shit that’s an ass-whipping

I don’t have PTSD, but I know of plenty who do and this time of year is a trial for them. This is a great org and a much better cause than setting off mortars in your neighborhood random hours of the night so toss a few bucks their way.

This Fourth of July I’m going to ignore the noise and be proud to serve an organization that serves the women and men who have given so much of themselves to serve our country. Check out Project Healing Waters. We’re giving away a boat! www.instagram.com/p/C869luHMWs...

you are trapped in a room with two doors. one leads to death, the other to freedom. each door is guarded by a man. one man is loud and clear and only lies. the other is slow and raspy and only tells the truth. you may ask one question

Have to share this photo of a Northern Pygmy Owl my son took. He used his binoculars and an iPhone mount. Really incredible!

Well that Thorns game was not was I was looking for on my Sunday afternoon.

The greatest scam in social welfare programs is planning around the idea that individuals exist under hardships because they lack motivation or education as opposed to the truth: That most are suitably motivated and educated but lack the time and resources required to change their circumstances.

Individuals who received the $1,000/mo or $500/mo payments were more likely to find a stable, full-time job than before they received the basic income. Results showed 45% of participants secured housing, while $589,214 was saved in public service costs. "It's freedom. It's freedom from poverty..."

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants had housing.www.businessinsider.com Participants in Denver's basic income program received up to $1,000 a month. They became more housing secure and landed full-time jobs.

This is why they got you to sign up for a “loyalty card.” They see you buy a gallon of milk every week without fail… watch that price creep up.

Oh it’s gonna be fun when the price doubles between when you take an item off the shelf and when you get to the register.

A supermarket trip may soon look different, thanks to electronic shelf labelswww.npr.org With electronic shelf labels, prices can change up to six times a minute. Grocers including Walmart, Whole Foods and Schnucks are adopting them.

This is a great article, highly recommend!

Dad joke: A man walks into a bar. The bartender gives him a beer and a bowl of nuts. A voice from the bowl says: "You look great tonight!" and "You're so smart!" The man turns to the bartender for an explanation. "Sir," the bartender says, "you pay for the beer, but the nuts are complimentary."

About to go to the Portland Thorns game with the Fam. It is Pride Night and my son & I helped paint the tifo. Going to be so cool!

Took the day off work to see family and take care of some cabin business yesterday. Ended up at Warm Springs in the evening. Not a lot of fish action, so here are some scenery shots and a special friend. #flyfishing #herpetology #DangerNoodle
