Under this idiocracy that we live in, expect to see more and more headlines like this. But their stock will boom and Kool- aid drinker and other old white dudes that live off of Fox News and Newsmax will scream that the Trump economy is great. Hell, they even fired the people that gave us the real numbers and replaced them with maga-holics. https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/amazon-targets-many-30000-corporate-job-cuts-sources-say-2025-10-27/ Just imagine if Biden or Obama fired the people that kept track of unemployment and inflation numbers because they didn't like what those numbers said. They'd be spewing kool-aid all over the place at Fox. OH YEEEEAAAHH!!!

Straight out of Nazi Germany. BTW, go into any factory and you will not find very many people who look anything like this.

I just finished a couple sci-fi classics. Rendezvous With Rama by Arthur C. Clark and Solaris by Lem Stanislaw. Rama was a bit dated but really fun. Solaris was way too wordy and pedantic but I was fascinated with the concept. I heard recently that after the next Dune movie, Villenueve will be making Rama into a movie. That should be amazing. He is probably my favorite director right now. I'm gonna' do the new Pynchon book next.

Con-men stick together.

I'll be long dead by then. Time is running out. Get another ring before I croak. Pay up for Skubal. Despite this loss and their collapse the second half, I truly believe they are so close. With amazing players down in the minors getting ready to make an impact. Hell, Troy Melton looks phenomenal as well.

Reminder: It's cold in Michigan this morning but hot as hell where Charlie Kirk is right now.

Nah. I'm rooting for the Bluejays. Just to irritate a certain element. "Oh Canada....."

Skubal has been phenomenal this post season. The hitters have been abysmal.

Nice surprise.

If they lose, it will be the same reason they collapsed during the season. The hitting fell flat. I am so used to seeing those goose eggs.

Yep. We watched the latest episode last night. Gripping story and great acting. HBO does it again.

Melton was the star of this game IMO. That kid has tons of potential.

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone." Anne Frank wrote those words.

Never been a big Springsteen fan, but his album Nebraska is a masterpiece. I have been listening to the whole album pretty much the last couple weeks. Just rediscovered it with the lossless on Spotify. So imagine my shock when I saw a commercial for a new movie about Springsteen and his making of Nebraska and apparently how the record company was not too happy to release an all acoustic album about working class struggles and men doing dark deeds. Starring Jeremy Allen White, the guy from The Bear. Actually hoping this is going to be good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQXdM3J33No

I love your optimism, Romad. But I truly think we are in for dark times that may not end in our lifetime. This guy is a monster and his voters are cultists who will love him no matter what. Just like those Germans that still loved Hitler after WWII was over. Even after all the destruction he brought. Trumpers are a lost cause. Even after Trump croaks, others that are much smarter than him will continue this new fascism period. Right now in the world, there is no one that will stop the bad people from doing the things they want to do. The America that I love is on the verge of falling. If not already fallen.
