Denver Water's current watering diktats. Which, given reservoir levels and so forth, are pretty reasonable.

Oh, I missed the part where he rambled for several minutes about how #helicopters can go up and down and back and forth and start and stop ... so probably the helicopter pilot was also to blame.

Who needs an #FAA investigation when you have #Trump on the job?

Yeesh.

I know that hoping for sensitivity, compassion, or leadership from #Trump is futile, but I could have gone all year without listening to his first official response to the DC plane crash, which, TL;DR "It's all Obama and Biden and Buttigieg's fault, not mine, because they hired terrible unqualified people under all those horrible #DEI rules, and got rid of all the great people I hired, so blame them, not me."

What an awful little man.

I know it's probably the least awful bit about #Trump now being President, but the fact he'll be President for the US Semiquincentennial in 2026 guarantees non-stop heartburn in my sensibilities as a patriot and historian. I guarantee it's going to be a madhouse of self-serving hyper-nationalism, all of it centered on the #DearLeader and his #MAGA cronies.

Ugh.

#Trump personally sends #ElonMusk into space to rescue astronauts #Biden and #NASA abandoned there.

Or at least that's today's Hollywood blockbuster-style chunk of falsehood from the #WhiteHouse

I'm aghast at the #Trump proto-ban on #trans folk in the #military. Last time he lied about the costs. Now it's a more fundamental attack:

1. That #transgender stuff? Not true.

2. So trans troops are lying, not being "honorable, truthful and disciplined."

3. So requesting others respect their identity is asking folk to lie, thus not showing "humility and selflessness."

So trans folk must be kicked out, probably dishonorably, because they are, QED, evil, corrupting liars.

Jesus.

#Trump issues EO stop federal support of any #gender #transitioning for those under age 19, and threatens federal litigation to prevent it, period. Any university, hospital, or medical group that gets any federal funding can and will be targeted here.

Why age 19 when age of consent / adulthood is 18? Because it sets a precedent for banning transition care all for adults, eventually.

Dark times for #trans folk and the friends and family who love them.

Having (a) exerted enough soft pressure to get a lot of companies to voluntarily drop their #DEI programs (or any semblance thereof), and (b) taken over the federal government and banned DEI there, the #GOP is now (c) threatening legal action against companies that have not complied with their demands to stop recognizing that historic and systemic #bias and #prejudice continue to interfere with their newly-sanctified worship of "merit."

Hope #Costco hangs in there.

"'Commonsense': Mike Johnson in talks with #Trump to hold wildfire aid hostage for voter ID"

Because it is perfectly normal for the President to hold up federal aid addressing a massive disaster in order to extort political changes they want to see.

And self-proclaimed "Christian" Mike Johnson thinks that's a fine idea, because that's just What Jesus Would Do.

I am flushed with success, having successfully dealt with a major toilet clog. If the solution had been a snake, it would have bit me. But I should have predicted, once I took the plunge, that augury would point me in the right direction. :toilet:

Always fun to see how deeply some #Republicans are willing to brown-nose the #DearLeader #Trump.

The guy who's made a career (and won elections) as a professional xenophobe wants a couple of other countries to take in a few million refugees, almost certainly permanently.

Or is it he just thinks all Arabs are alike, so why wouldn't Egypt and Jordan take in the population of Gaza so Israel can annex the land?

#Trump making noises about taking over #Greenland costs him (vs US reputation) nothing, makes him look like a Strong Amurrican to his #MAGA cohorts, and lets him show Putin and Xi that he belongs in their Big Boy Conquest Club.

And, he certainly thinks, maybe the pig will sing.

#Target becomes the latest corporate craven to eliminate its #DEI programs, "staying in step with the evolving external landscape."

OTOH, #Costco's just announced its shareholders roundly rejected a proposal to "review the risks of its DEI programs."

So ... another good reason for me to shop more at Costco than Target.
