News From The Void

Yeah. It’s no joke. I told my daughter, just don’t even mention his name in public. People get set off so easily even if your comments are not meant to be negative.
Edit: and I wasn’t dedending the YT guy. Sounds like he needed to be caught. My point was that they are really watching everyone.

LOL…I wouldn’t know…I don’t think I’ve ever made a comment about the Dumpster that was not negative.

Can’t wait to hear about the first Trump voters moaning because they got deported! :rofl:

Seriously though, just the idea of it is completely nuts. El Salvador would have to make a killing to agree to any such nonsense. And you can pretty much forget about ever reintegrating somebody sent to such a prison back into US society. Which will make it cost much more, at least if you calculate true cost…

Yes. They are making a killing. And one man has already been wrongly deported and ElSalvador refuses to send him back.
He left Venezuela as a teen to escape the gangs and now he is in prison with them while his wife and newborn daughter are left without him.

Doge can very well be argued to be the biggest cyber security breach in history in and of itself, so I’d expect to see such things repeated all across the government infrastructure.

And does anyone care that a group of celebrity women went into space for 5 minutes?

It’s maddening, the trump admin have admitted it was an error but at the same time they are condemning the Maryland senator for visiting him and calling it “gross” and how it says a lot about the democratic party, as if to imply they champion rapists and murderers.

It’s absolutely disgusting how they can say those two things out loud but double down on the latter.

I cant believe I’m living in an age where rich people can take a trip to space for 5 seconds and come back with “profound” realisations; realizations that you genuinely don’t need to leave the planet to have; then don’t do anything to change how they behave or go about life. It often feels like “I better say the thing people say or they’ll realise I’m a sociopath that feels nothing”.

Saying all that, I’m only talking about rich peiople going to space in a vague sense.

I was actually not aware of any female celebs going to space. Not sure if because of sexism, misogyny, or both. Because when the boys did it, it was front page news you could not escape XD

I think the real culprit though is, me disappearing into minecraft for a week and not checking the news at all. It was pure bliss <3

But I gotta return to reality and face the news. quick searches Is it bad that I don’t really know who any of these people are other than Katy Perry?

Who the hunk is Gayle King? I just saw they’re all facing criticism for this stunt when Americans are bleeding money out their arses and her response came across incredibly tone deaf…

““I wish people would do more due diligence,” she said. “And then my question is, ‘Have y’all been to space?’ Go to space or go to Blue Origin and see what they do and then come back and say, ‘This is a terrible thing.’””

No, we havent all been to space. We can’t just go there and see that we are wrong for being hyper critical of this publicity stunt. But thnaks for suggesting we do? I think a single egg should cover the ticket price at the current rate. Invest in hens!!!

edit: omfg shes 70?!!?! Whose head did she borrow?

according to the google search info sidebar she was born in Chevy Chase Manor, Chevy Chase, Maryland…

Don’t go to fuckin space, go to el salvador and get that guy back if you’re from Maryland! But also, I cannot believe there is a house, called Chevy Chase Manor, in a place, called Chevy Chase, when we live in a timeline when there exists a man, called Chevy Chase.

Also I can’t help but wonder were you born into riches in this Manor or was this a former plantation house, and consdiering her age :see_no_evil_monkey:

eedit: Turns out Chevy CHase Manor isn’t a manor, but just the name of the area. You guys really just give zero funks about naming conventions.

I am painting the trim in my bathroom and having a thought…
First, my tub is not a pre tariff panic buy. Been planning this a long time. But, while at the appliance store, I noticed a definite panic-buying atmosphere.
I am seeing “hurry and buy before the tariffs” ads everywhere. I am getting them in my emails, on social, on TV…
We just witnessed T cause a panic sell off of stocks and then tell everyone to “buy, buy, buy” only to have him back of tariffs for 90 days just a few days later. Stocks rebounded and people who bought made a tidy profit.
Now we have 245% tariff on China but negotiations are happening next week.
So here is my thought.
The economy has sucked since he took office.
But April is gonna look “fantastic” because people are panic buying.
I would lay my money down that the monster tariffs never hit.
This is a manipulator manipulating people by tapping their fears all to make the reports look like all his promises about a booming economy are real.

Ok. My daughter just drove to our local WalMart to get a solid state drive because her old one is making weird noises.
They have none
Why?
Because a guy put them all into trash cans in the storage room and wheeled them out.
$40,000 worth
I guess he thinks he will sell them all online.
Will be watching for the results

Don’t go looking for the latest COVID info. We now have no idea what it is doing or mutating into. Why? Because the website has been completely changed


This is where you get directed if you type in COVID dot gov. ( I refuse to provide a link)

Why do I still feel like maybe I will wake up…that this cannot possibly be real.

Did you have the MMR vaccine?
Yes
How many?
A lot, a lot of them

Yeah. Well there are 3. Yes. They can wear off. Mine did. They tested me when I was pregnant. They gave me a booster the day after delivery.
