Senate GOP blocks Equal Rights Amendment.  

Republicans keep wondering why they're losing the female vote...such a confusing conundrum...that they just can't figure out, lol.   :)

Does Banning Adult Social Media Prevent CSAM? 

( CSAM is "Child Sexual Abuse Material".)

Nope..no, it does not, one has nothing to do with the other. This effort has nothing to do with kids, it has to do with religious fundamentalists wanting to force their version of "Christian Taliban" laws onto everyone else. You don't want your kids seeing porn (or violence, or how to make bombs, or info encouraging bulimia or self harm) act like a fucking adult and restrict what your kids have access to. The Internet is not....your babysitter.

Why Am I Unhappy? Because All American Men Are Getting Sadder.

This is most unfortunate...men are and have been getting a raw deal in the USA for years, maybe decades. More women go to college than men, and as a result of that more women are making increased salaries, more women are into "hook up" culture, but are mostly "banging" a small percent of men, meaning the same guys are banging most of the women and the rest of the guys are...getting nothing. Fewer people are getting married, and in some cases, based on the very "unscientific" meme below, one can sort of see why many men would not want to get married. So, if you factor in less income, less sex, less friendships, less opportunity, more isolation, and obviously other factors, it means a lot of guys are...lonely. Just not good. 

Roles have reversed, or at least altered, and so many guys are unsure of what society expects of them, and they're making a huge mistake by...giving a fuck. Go to the gym. Work. Work out. Educate yourselves. Engage in self care for yourself, enjoy your own hobbies, live your own life, and if/when you meet someone worthy of your time and energy, go with it, otherwise, find happiness anyway. Just keep in mind, for the most part women's "value" in society as far as the dating pool diminishes with age, and generally speaking, men's goes up.

US spent $877 billion on its military in 2022, new report says. 

That's more than 10 times what the federal government spent on education. 

That's about...2.4 billion dollars...per day. Over 2 billion dollars, daily. For what? Are we at war? Nope. Are the soldiers overpaid? Nope. Are the Vets using the VA taken care of? Not really. So...where does this money go? 

Air Force F-35 Lightning IIs Can’t Fly Within 25 Miles Of ... Lightning.

These jets, cost roughly $80 million each. 

For the airframe and mission equipment only, the Lot 15-17 cost of F-35s ranges “from $70.2 million to $69.9 million for the F-35A, $80.9 million to $78.3 million for the F-35B, and $90 to $89.3 million for the F-35C,” a Lockheed spokesperson said. The whole "package" meaning to order a bunch of them...$412 Billion. Pushing a half a trillion dollars. So, we got some massively overpriced fighter jets, ready to kick ass...as long as the war is not anywhere near...rain. 

Air Force coffee mug costs $1,220...each.

So, we got nearly $1300 coffee cups, in planes, that can't fly in the rain, but our kids can barely read or write, what in the living fuck is wrong with this picture? I'm so glad you asked. It's called the Military/Industrial/Congressional Complex. It's a few "fat cats" getting billionaire rich, off of tax payer dollars, wasting exorbitant amounts of money...while our schools go broke and some of our kids are dumber than a box of sand. 'Murica!!!  :)
