Animals eat other animals. Works as designed. I was going to try an Impossible burger until I read the nutrition facts. It’s at least as bad for you as beef.

@wtg and @Steve-Miller well that’s a relief!

Rotten tomatoes. Tony DiMare’s family owns 4,000 acres of tomato farms across Florida and California. Sadly, his Florida crops are not looking good — mowed over and left to rot, like tomato vines across the state. But it’s not growing conditions that are the problem. It’s economic ones. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/florida-farmers-now-plowing-over-perfectly-good-tomatoes-as-trump-s-tariff-policies-cause-prices-to-plummet/ar-AA1HDIlh?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=390a9a37a5544ceeb974275f45d2a73c&ei=29

I think he understands that the likelihood of winning is well below 50/50 now, and it's not worth his effort. NC often elects Democrats to statewide office, even though its heavily gerrymandered legislature grants a Republican about 1.2 times as much representation as a Democrat. And 2026 is shaping up to be a wave year given how unpopular the Big Bill is, and how its effects will likely be very visible next year as millions are thrown off Medicaid and rural voters piss and moan about their reduced subsidies (from blue urban taxpayers).

Me three!

He shoulda used his Sharpie to change the forecast to what he wanted it to be. Problem solved!

I don’t have bears yet, but they’ve been seen in the county. We have coyotes, but it seems they aren’t true coyotes, but a cross between coyotes and wolves - coy wolves. It makes sense because they are bigger that western coyotes. I see them trotting down the walking trails sometimes.

This is going to end up inspiring, maybe even be the scenes of, horror movies.

The new safety features cars have are a minor miracle. I doubt the lives they've saved and injuries they've prevented can be counted.

There will be lots of firings in January of 2029, presuming a Democrat wins. Civil Service protections are out, and they shouldn't go back in until the damage has been remediated. Then the GOP may be willing to sign a treaty that can prevent the re-politicization of federal employment.

No need to look for aliens. They're here already.

Do s my Beany Babies collection count now too?

The called it "an operational error." I think that means somebody left the gate open.
