The only reason that the #NPS can get rid of the entry reservation system they used to have because of overcrowding... ...is that foreign tourism is so down right now over the visas and ICE bullshit that the parks aren't actually overcrowded and aren't likely to be in the otherwise 'peak' summer season. THAT SAID, that was not the point. This was yet another attempt to "make the park experience suck so much that people demand change, and then offer privatization as the 'solution' to the problem they invented". It is no different from all of the firings last year - it is all about getting the public to demand change, so they can then do the change they want and sell the parks to private interests. It is all there in Project 2025. It was always the intent.

New term: "Bullslop" - to be used when you see an AI story that invents something (like a celebrity interview with a right-wing host) that never happened. Most recent going around is a story of #JethroTull 's Ian Anderson suing after a tv interview with Hegseth.

The difference between the two sides of #wintersports:

If your event is on ice, the ice is the one thing most likely to break your ass.

If your event is on snow, the snow is the one thing most likely to save your ass.

House speaker Johnson is so much kissing ass that the AP has had to admit even AI can't color-correct his lips in photos anymore.

On how the #LotR #RotK EE didn't fully include all of the "Samwise the Brave" material (it begins AFTER he's passed the watchers using the Light of Galadriel),

"I kind of have a problem that a 3 1/2 hour film couldn't find a way to include a scene that a 90 minute animated film managed to fit in."

So Dye, the chief designer at #Apple, is leaving for #META (FB, Instagram) - some say was poached, but there we are.

At the new, he's going to be working on smart glasses (the ray-ban crap) and VR sets.

In other words, the designer of #LiquidGlass is leaving to go work on real glass.

What comes to mind when the under-25 bartender is bopping away at the 70s and 80s music coming off the PA.

Hear that? That's the sound of abject stupidity in action...

or rather it is the sound of red-hat wearing idiots dropping their CostCo memberships because CostCo decided to sue the Trump administration over the tariffs that they (correctly) believe are illegal as well as unnecessarily harmful.

Yes, these idiots are dropping their CostCo memberships because CostCo is trying to reduce inflation and save them money.

shit you just can't make up...

"It seems so rude and careless to make me, a person with thoughts, ideas, humor, contradictions and life experience to read something spit out by the equivalent of a lexical bingo machine because you were too lazy to write it yourself."

Making a crockpot of chili (6 hours mode).

Talking to myself (well, to the chili ingredients).

To the chili - next beer at 4:30.

To the can of beans - you go in at 5.

To the masa flour - you go in at 6. No, 6:30. Bring a friend.

Dear Don Henley and your opinion on the #RushReunion: go away. just...bleep.

seriously.

Yeah, Eagles reunions suck because you kept reminding yourselves why you all hated each other. And that's fine.

But that's not Alex and Geddy's relationship. They have been *friends*, dear friends, for 53 years. That friendship never wavered, not during their arguments over how an album or song should go, not during their arguments over the keyboards, not during their personal frustrations over their aging fingers and aging voices.

These are two friends, looking back at their music, and deciding *as friends*, not as band members, that they love playing it together and want to go out and do that.

The Eagles loved their music, to be sure...but your public arguments (esp during the reunions) clearly show you were never really friends. So your opinion on reunions has little weight, and you can just shut up now.

"You've been feeling tired, but I can do something about that... If you are ready, we might go along now. You needn't worry about them any longer. They'll be all right...and thousands like them. Come along, I'll show you what I mean." - El-ahrairah, Prince of a Thousand Enemies.

"My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today."

yes, our #bunny finally let us know, at over 12 years (8 with us) that it was time.

So Watership Down of course is coming to mind.

"Bright eyes, burning like fire.
How can the light that burns so brightly suddenly burn so pale?"

"They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners
But don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms
'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me
And look in my eyes
You are perfection."

Rabbits are a magnificent species.

If Rubio's goons can decide, without telling the person, that their student visa is now invalid and they can be arrested and deported on site...then they can just as easily decide that your worker's H1-B visa is now invalid and your workers can be arrested and deported on site, without telling anybody.

This program IS going to be on the chopping block, once they've run out of brown people under all the other visas to deport.

Doesn't matter how much the tech overlords try to complain about it. Their faces are targeted by the face-eating leopards, too.

Because racism turned into unconstitutional policy can not be stopped by saying "ok, only THOSE brown people".

It can only be stopped by saying NO, to ALL of it.
