things get worse for dog killer noem
now it turns out she lied about meeting people in her book
she claims she met kim of north korea when she was in congress.
“Through my tenure on the House Armed Services Committee,” Noem wrote, “I had the chance to travel to many countries to meet with world leaders. I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).”
except she never met him. even her spokeperson knows she lied saying last night
“We’ve been made aware that the publisher will be addressing conflated world leaders’ names in the book before it is released.”
and theres more lies...

the publisher would be smart to just recall the book and burn every copy

oil company exec was colluding with opec
Pioneer natural resources is one of the largest independend oil companies.
exxon is buying them out and teh deal is closing tomorrow
teh FTC just blocked the head of pioneer from joining exxons board stating he was colluding with representatives of OPEC to reduce oil and gas output to increase prices at the pump and inflate Pioneer’s profits
if convicted he should be fined every last cent of his net worth. plus serve decades in prison.
maybe that will teach top corp execs a lesson not to crime

one thirds of americans could have had their data breached due to corporate negligence
The portal that the bad actors initially accessed was not protected by multifactor authentication, or MFA, which requires users to verify their identities in at least two different ways
once again a companies shitty practices resulted in people having their data stolen.
the company need to do more than just provide "credit monitoring". its time companies started paying a serious price for this.
Start with $1000 per person affected. as a minimum. and possible jail terms for the top executives.
then see how fast companies start taking data protection seriously. (last year united healthcare had revenue of over 300 billion

revoke trumps bail
the judge in NY fined him for contempt
when he was charged in his other cases part of his bail terms was no breaking thae law.
revoke his bail and toss his fat ass in jail
a game changer for astrophotograpghy
a few weeks ago i bought a new telescope that i could use with you groups. its a seestar 50 which combines a scope,a camera and a small controller to run the rig in a single package for only $500. rather than using an eyepiece it uses an ipad for displaying the view.
last night was really the first night ive been able to use it in depth.
This is m81 and m82 from last night. Only about 2 hours of exposure time before the clouds rolled in. while the scope displays the image on an ipad it can be set to save the images in a format that i could then use my astrophotography software on to enhance it even further.
setup is a breeze. you simply level the scope on a tripod and your pretty much good to go.
This is M81 and M82,a pair of galaxies in ursa major.
Not bad for a $500 piece of equipment
Noem has done teh impossible. Unite the left and the right
even hard right whack jobs like jeannine pirro of fox have condemed her.
shes pretty much nuked her future political career

enough with the text messages begging for campaign donations
all it does is turn me off from even considering a donation in the future. I get them for congressional races across the country. 4 different ones so far today. all the constant begging does is make me want to ignore all candidates. im not "chipping in" to help candidates 2000 miles away from my house. iden in 20
I donated to biden in 2020 and again in 2023. Beto in texas,assorted other races around me. but no more. im tired of my phone notifying me of a text message multiple times a day begging for money
STOP IT...
