    I only wish that human beings could bring themselves to admit to themselves and others that they have been and are watching a live streamed genocide in Gaza and other places in Palestine. We were taught to, "never forget." We were taught to believe in international law. We taught ourself that, "holocaust" is a word that no group of human beings owns. The new owner of CBS is a Zionist billionaire that has given more money to the IDF than anyone in history. CBS does not, as no media conglomerate does, operate under the FCC framework that we remember because the framework has been demolished. CBS is now the definition of propaganda. No true journalist can work for it as a reporter. The people who work at CBS now are stenographers. This young person is promising because he hasn't agreed to betray journalism by being a stenographer. I agree completely that everyone must make their way in the world. I understand on the other hand that this is entirely possible to do without supporting a holocaust.

    Stopped at the grocery store on the way home from day rehav; Mr wtg's first trip to a grocery store since late February. We decided to celebrate... Jeni's was on sale for $4.99 a pint. We got the Gooey Butter Cake (not bad but wouldn't buy again) and the Lemon and Blueberry Parfait (am going back to buy three more). Also got Haagen Dazs Rum Raisin. It was OK, but a bit grainy. Ice crystals.

    Another tidbit to show how content free the report was... Ramesh Ponuru in the Washington Post pointed out that the word “inflation” shows up 18 times in the report. But each time talking about how the cost of ad spend and other campaign expenses have gone up. Not once talking about the affordability issues that played such a big role in voter dissatisfaction.

    I plan to get receipts and never let anyone approach me and I'll make sure the pump resets. At almost $5 I don't doubt scammers are as ubiquitous as mosquitoes.

    I noticed there is also a trend of renaming things after our current president. I think this now may become “in depends” day…

    This story made me tear up when I read it yesterday. I don’t mind dogs shooting people, but I really miss the gas prices listed in that picture…
