Never forget that nearly half of the Pentagon budget goes to private contractors.
Investigations show these companies make egregious profits overcharging DoD.
The Senate is now debating an $886 billion defense bill.
Let’s call it what it is: corporate welfare on steroids.

#ClimateDiary This morning I am suddenly really angry again about the lack of serious engagement with #ClimateEmergency in both politics and #PoliticalScience.
Of course, Antonio #Guterres (❤️ ) is shouting 'we are BOILING', and #Vanuatu's #Regenvanu and other small island leaders have been shouting for years, too. But no major political leader is standing up and saying: this really is an Emergency, let's do everything right now. Like, noone. It is just not happening! 1/3

DeSantis is such a horrible replica of a human.

I recently got a new coffee brewer, a Mr Coffee, which does a fine job of brewing coffee at an economical price and made a discovery. If I use a metal mesh basket to hold the grounds instead of a paper filter, it improves the flavor tremendously. That is what my taste buds told me. How many of you disagree with this assessment? 😉 I read that the mesh basket allows the coffee bean oils to come though.

Officer #Fanone is despised by the #GOP for attempting to protect the #Capitol instead of allowing #insurrectionists to #execute Mike #Pence and Nancy #Pelosi in order to install election loser Donald #Trump as #dictator. Rep. Andrew "normal tourist" #Clyde refused to shake Fanone's hand when Fanone spoke to #Clyde after the attack.

I've befriended a co-worker, L, who is one of those never satisfied with actual work. Yes, it's call center work. Yes, we get the occasional asshole. She got tired of that and moved the the Dispatcher department. Oh, the freedom! Oh, the time between calls!! So wonderful! Catmom, you should come here!! Well, that was the training period. Now she's got all the parts of the job at the same time. And it's miserable!! All the work!! All the calls!! Whine, whine, whine! She wants to quit. I told her that, essentially, I like my job. And good luck finding a job that doesn't suck in KY that pays well over minimum with PTO and benefits. She's a whiny idiot! Just venting.

Hubby is watching Good Omens season 2. He's just noted a scene filmed directly outside our old Edinburgh flat.

Pro tip. When you’re texting a co-conspirator about your plot to conceal, cover up, and falsify evidence in order to obstruct justice, do NOT use “shushing” emojis.
(I think Stringer Bell would agree.)
