"Greater Idaho"? Stupid or Idiotic?

IIRC, part of the danger of the regions of California (rural) wanting to form their own state is that they would then hold essential water resources needed for other areas and have in some forums discussed that they would use this power.

As regards Metformin, i thought i should throw out that it is used heavily in the “biohacking” groups as a longevity aid. Best to let everyone pursue that thread as they will, but there are many benefits to Metformin beyond just blood sugar control which have to do with its means of operation in the...

There is a new Amazon Prime series, “The Power,” which only has three episodes. I’m thinking this one has legs and is a unique premise—light sci-fi scenario handled deftly.

Casualties of 500-1500 a day???
How is that sustainable in any way? Those numbers are huge. Our worst day of D-Day was 2400. The moral would just be devastatingly low.

From a Maddow podcast that had Elizabeth Warren on and discussed this, two of the three banks (not SVB) had crypto issues and the crypto issues in general pair3d with the first bank failure made SVB vulnerable.

I have a Canadian acquaintance who is out of work and seeking to get media attention and grift by being anti-woke. Which is hilarious because “woke” is a mystery term to him. He thinks woke-ism means people want segregated classrooms and late-term abortions. He’s an over educated idiot that reminds ...

Looking for the original of the segment of Nancy Pelosi talking in this clip. I think I’ve seen it and it was very much her getting information. I think she did say she would punch Trump if he showed up, but can’t find it.

I’ve been watching “Motive” on Freevee. It’s a Canadian crime drama with four seasons so good for binge watching. I like that it’s not very violent and that it has a format where in the opening scene of each episode the Killer and Victim are identified—the storyline is about exploring the motive for...

I had this playing as I was doing my morning household tasks, but from one thing I took away from it is that it’s possible that the current Culture War is partly the result of Fossil Fuel doing a Wag-the-Dog set of manipulations to distract the populace from “emissions”? Not totally shocking, but is...

Dominion v Fox - Dominion Voting Sues Fox News for $1.6B over 2020 Election Claims in Delaware

Question, it appears Fox can be proven to be actively working to support Trump and other GOP candidates.
Are those actions not equivalent to political donations? They were coordinated and would have some monetary value (as if they were paid for statements), no?
