Trump and Elmo are fighting again

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (123408) • United States 10h

We all knew that the bromance wouldn't last long between 2 megalomaniacs. Elon Musk criticized Trump last month (I don't even remember why but I'm sure it was about this budget bill) and that devolved into Trump threatening to...

No tax on tips only lasts for 3 years

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (123408) • United States 9h

Trump randomly added that promise toward the end of his campaign and it was a winner for people struggling to pay the bills. No tax on overtime too. There is a big push now to get Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" passed and the...

June Moon Top Ten: Bad Moon Rising (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (76163) • United States 30 Jun

No question. No surprise. No shock. It would have been a total surprise if any other song topped the list of my favorite songs about the moon. I’m not that unpredictable. From my 100 favorites list, and...

After your sixth beer, maybe order a pizza

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357144) • Rockingham, Australia 19h

The male perspective needs to be heard.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (13834) • Ireland 30 Jun

This past week we’ve heard all about the extravagant nuptials of Mr and Mrs Bezos. And how many girls who now decry the nonsense would themselves indulge in excess and folly if they got the chance? Quite a few I imagine. The bee...

Anna Of course Bezos' wedding sounds expensive BUT, to reach a wedding cost comparable to Bezos' wedding in terms of relative wealth, an average American would need to spend less than $250 on their wedding. Everything is relative in this world.

Insomnia-induced blethering.

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (2603) • United Kingdom 29 Jun

Traceyjayne they would still get money even from a mushroom ! People are turned off from buying packs because it costs more and you throw some away. if smaller quanities or loose were available people would buy a range , therefore more in the long run.

Sitooteries a go-go.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (13834) • Ireland 30 Jun

In this ridiculously over-heated weather phenomenon Europeans (and others) are experiencing, there has been a surge in demand for sitooteries in Ireland. People erect them in their gardens and sit under them dressed in only what...

Anna @xFiacre - Yes, northern Italians all born here in the region of Como. Most of them are "frontalieri" they live in Italy and cross the border every morning to work in Switzerland. The border is 700 meters from our apartment.

Anna One neighbor has a sitooterie, but he is very polite and we never hear loud talking, or music. We are lucky, I cannot believe this is happening here in Italy.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357144) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Jun

Judy Evans My great-uncle came back with shell-shock but he did have a family to come home to. I have a friend who is in a group searching and looking after graves of aboriginals who served during the war. That's a worthwhile cause too.

Judy Evans Any odd socks here go in the top drawer of the tallboy where they can't glare at me. I hope the errant sock isn't clogging up a hosepipe somewhere.
