I guess they never heard that Billy Joel song...

 The data comes from the Fed’s Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households, which found that 49% of adults ages 18 to 29 live with their parents, and another 47% of adults in that same age group received help from someone outside their household to pay an expense - money toward a cell phone bill, general living expenses, or housing costs.  There’s a lot of adult children getting financial support from their parents.
The financial-support trend isn’t confined to the youngest adults. There is a separate figure in the same survey: 26% of adults ages 30 to 44 also reported receiving financial help from outside their household.







Why do pigs like her have opinions? No one cares...

Rosie O'Donnell predicted President Donald Trump "won't survive that long" when asked if she would make good on her promise to leave the country until the 2028 election.
The ugly fat fuck made the remark while appearing on CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper" on Friday, where she said the president's "demise is visible" while pointing to unsubstantiated claims regarding his health.
"When you posted about leaving the U.S., you said you might return when, 'It's safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America.' Does that mean that when Trump leaves office, presumably in January 2029, you'll come back - or it depends on who wins the election in 2028?" Tapper - who's not exactly known for asking prescient questions - asked. “Well, I don’t think, Jake, that he is going to survive that long,” O’Donnell said. “All the medical doctors that you can get accurate opinions of what’s happening to him because his demise is visible and apparent to everyone who is not willfully blind.”
 

So, this piece of shit is actually, using very cagey words, that Trump will die soon, based existentially on her own hatred of the man - and her unique insight in to the medical profession. What a piece of shit she is. I do not keep posting about this cow - and other TDS victims - to prop them up. I simply want to illustrate what contemptable, hatefull scumbags they are, all fighting for some kind of twisted 'relevance' in the world they - not us - live in.


Lindsey's gone and McConnell's no where to be found now. This mid-term's gonna get crazier...

 
Emergency medical services had received a call at about 8.30pm on Saturday regarding a person suffering chest pains at Graham’s home on Capitol Hill. About 25 minutes later,  emergency personnel said CPR was in progress and a man was suffering cardiac arrest. His death is a personal blow to Trump, for whom he was a political cheerleader and frequent golf partner. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster will appoint a temporary replacement to fill the U.S. Senate seat until January 3, 2027.Because the vacancy occurred following Senator Lindsey Graham's sudden passing, a special primary must be held by August 11, 2026, to determine a new Republican nominee. The winner of that primary will face the Democratic nominee, pediatrician Annie Andrews, in the November 3, 2026, general election.
What unsettles me the most is when I start seeing guys like him, who I think looked like he was 20 years older than he actually was, and looks 20 years older than me (must be the suit and tie) but is actually fuckin' younger than I am. That scares the crap outta me for some reason. And then ya got this:
As of yesterday, McConnell, 84, has been hospitalized for nearly a month following an admission on June 14. His office has not disclosed the specific reasons for his hospitalization, stating only that he is "continuing to improve". His absence has created uncertainty regarding key legislative matters, including defense spending and government funding bills set to expire in October 2027. He's gotten to be an obstructionist. Time for him to be set out to pasture - if anybody can find him. Juss' sayin'...

Alabama ranks dead last in the country for mental health providers per capita, even though nearly a quarter of residents have been told by a health professional that they have a depressive disorder. 
Alabama also ranks at the bottom for its worker protections, which include only two of the 16 measures that Oxfam America considers critical (mandating equal pay by gender and race, and restricting access to salary history).

This newly-constructed six-bedroom home with seven full bathrooms and one half bathroom. It was listed June 14 for $19.8 million before a $1.95 million price cut on July 7 brought the asking price to $17.85 million. Either way, it’s the highest-priced home for sale in Margate and could break a new sales record for the 1.63-square-mile city on Absecon Island.
My Father, a New Englander by birth, naturally had a saying for just about anything. He said things like 'It is what it is' almost daily. He'd probably also say that about this absolutely ridiculously priced house, and he'd add something like 'There's a cost for everything and everything has a cost". 
My impression? Not worth half that, and I have expensive tastes. For that much money I'd want a house roughly the same size with a private lake on 20 acres with a barn, six-car garage and a heliport. And ya can't see the neighbors. And ya can't see in every friggin' room in the house, ferfucksake.

This is a really obscure pic of a hot dog stand that used to be on the corner of Halsey and Academy Streets in downtown Newark back in the 70's. House O' Weenies was a modest chain of a few shops on the East Coast that had great griddle-cooked dogs and super cheap. Two dogs and a can of coke for under a buck walking away.

What the author of this article has to say about the development I live in is somewhat metaphorical, but the truth is, there's probably a few thousand people who live here who actually never leave their houses - and the last estimate was that around 140,000 people now call The Villages their full-tme home. The guy wrote a decent article about us for once. If you're interested, you'll find it here.

Reflecting on color...


According to Google AI, "this image features a border collie standing near a puddle reflecting the surrounding trees. The photo appears to have been taken at a location known as the Dark Hedges in County Antrim, Ireland.
A similar photograph titled "Ellie standing knee deep in moonlight" captures a similar scene with a border collie in Scotland."
That shit is scary how it can define and identify things so rapidly...

And they want us to negotiate with these lying towel=headed camel jockeys?

New satellite images show signs that the Iranian regime appears to be rebuilding its suspected nuclear facilities at Pickaxe Mountain and Parchin. Footage of both areas – which sustained extensive damage during US and Israeli-led bombing campaigns that began in late February – reveal “major signs” of activity, according to CNN, which obtained images from private firms.
Such construction likely runs 'afoul' of the Memorandum of Understanding that Iran and US negotiators reached last month during a cease-fire that President Trump called “over” following Iranian attacks on shipping vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
US and Israeli forces repeatedly targeted the Parchin site, which the Iranians had covered with a protective concrete shield, in the joint air campaign that was launched on Feb. 28. 
 

Maybe it's time for four or five more bunker busters, don'tcha think? You cannot trust, therefore you cannot negotiate in good faith with these ideologues. Their mission in life is to die trying to kill us all. Their religion demands it. Time for it to be put to bed once and for all, in a manner of speaking.

How does a touch phone know where you touch?

Smartphones use what are called 'capacitive touchscreens', which rely on the human body's natural electrical charge. Beneath the glass is an invisible grid of conductive material. When your skin touches the screen, it creates a tiny disturbance or voltage drop at that exact location. The phone instantly maps these X and Y coordinates and executes the command.
A network of microscopic, transparent conductive pathways (typically made of Indium Tin Oxide) is embedded across the screen.Electrical Field: The screen constantly maintains a low-voltage electrical field across this grid.
Because human skin is naturally conductive, it absorbs a tiny amount of that electrical charge when you tap the screen.
 


 Circuits along the edges of the screen calculate the exact intersection point where the electrical charge dropped and send those coordinates to the phone's processor. By tracking hundreds of these microscopic grid intersections at once, the phone registers gestures like pinching to zoom or swiping with multiple fingers. Ya got all that? If you don't, ask your grandson - he'll set ya straight...
 

This is also why touchscreens generally do not work if you are wearing standard, non-conductive winter gloves or using non-capacitive objects, as they do not interrupt the electrical field.





It's 4:30. Must be HillBetty time again...






Looks like Kristi'll be on the market again...

Kristi Noem - who I think is a bit of a MILF if not a GILF (how do I know about that stuff?) - is reportedly getting a divorce. A new report says that Kristi and her husband Bryon Noem are separating amid the claims that he likes to cross-dress and wear fake breasts. Kristi and Bryon have been married for 34 years and the allegations about him, which surfaced in March 2026, reportedly were a shock and a surprise to her. That is almost impossible to believe.
 

Kristi‘s mom Corinne Arnold confirm the breakup to Daily Mail and said, “It has been difficult, but we knew this was coming, that they were going to get divorced.” Corinne says the last time she saw Kristi and Bryon together was at one of their kids’ birthday parties in late spring in South Dakota.
What kinda seriously twisted fuck is this guy? She had to know about the stupid shit he was doing - I mean, how could he possibly have hidden it from her? That gigantic falsie set had to be somewhere in their house. Juss' sayin'...

Was Hobbes reallly coughing?







Remember that time when Key West declared war on the United States?

In 1982, the mayor of Key West was fed up. The U.S. government had set up a roadblock on the only highway leading into the city. It caused huge traffic jams. Tourists couldn't get in. Local businesses were losing money.
So the mayor decided to do something dramatic. He stood in front of the cameras and declared Key West an independent nation. He called it the Conch Republic. Then he declared war on the United States.
But this was no real war. He walked over to a man in a U.S. Navy uniform and tapped him on the head with a piece of Cuban bread. That was the "attack." One minute later, he surrendered.
Then he asked the U.S. government for $1 billion in foreign aid to help his "war-torn" nation rebuild.
It was a joke. But it made the news. The roadblock was removed soon after. And Key West still celebrates its "independence" every year.

My bucket list funeral. I wanna go out like this guy did...

 
A 'scantily-clad' pole dancer performed a raunchy routine at a Red Light district nightclub boss’ funeral. Video footage taken while 'danced' showed the dancer twisting on a pole behind two coffins, as Queen‘s “The show must go on” was blasted out to mourners.
The erotic dancer wore black knee-high boots and not much else as she performed at the strange send-off in Amsterdam. Video shared on social media showed her suspending herself upside-down on the pole wearing just a bra and black thong.
Immediately in front of her lie the white coffins of a nightclub boss and his wife, decorated with photos of the couple, candles and huge flower arrangements.
 

Funeral director Iede Hoorn called the performance “moving, brave and heartfelt”. He revealed that the nightclub boss had been dead for more than 30 years, and had been exhumed for the occasion.
There's video of her performance here, but, if you've seen one...
