Around what year did Musk start to become "odd"?

At one point he was just the average, pseudo-libertarian entrepreneur. When did he start to become a conspiracy nut?

Did CNN/Licht fuck up, hoping tRump will increase ratings/$$$$ and would save them?

Will it lead to even more people and companies to begin boycotting CNN? There may be a short term ratings boost (out of curiosity of viewers) but once the party is over will CNN lose more $$$ due to their lack of judgment? Will Musk and Twitter find the same outcome when they promote Fucker Carlson's new show on Twitter? Short term ratings boost vs long term disdain?

Have you or someone you know experienced a Near Death Experience?

I have listened to non-religious descriptions of NDEs and I have had "visits" from my dogs and my dad. They are very real and they always lift my spirits since they somehow make me feel peaceful and comforted afterwards. Since I am an Atheist I find non-religious experiences from people from all over the world to be very interesting. This is one of the best I have heard from and judging from the responses this guy has a lot of company.

Do you think the jury will find tRump guilty of rape?

Edit: "guilty of battery and defamation"

It must be a unanimous decision for a civil trial.

2011 White House Corr. Dinner...tRump roasted and steamed



An oldie but a goodie.

Also, this was the night Bin Laden was getting killed and Obama kept the secret hidden well as he continued the entertainment.

What are the ages of those in the Gen X and Gen Z groups?

Is there now a Gen Y?

I get seriously confused and would like to know so I can study real polls correctly.

The majority of UK doesn't approve of costly coronation

"An 'expensive pantomime': More than half of Brits do not want to pay for Charles' coronation"

"It comes with the UK in the grip of a cost-of-living crisis and wide-ranging strikes by employees across the public and private sectors as decades-high inflation eats away at earnings."

"The situation is seen as factoring into the muted enthusiasm for the long weekend of celebrations so far. The government is yet to disclose how much it will cost, with a Westminster Abbey ceremony on Saturday, 6 May and Windsor Castle concert on Sunday, 7 May, among the set-piece events. Alongside a huge security operation throughout, it is predicted to run into tens of millions of pounds."

Immigrants, taxes, terrorists...what does the GQP always run on?

It seems like these three issues is all the GQP has had to campaign on for over 20 years. Aren't they in a rut? Now with abortion and anti-LGBTQ BS they have painted themselves into a campaign corner. So boring, so old, so male, so white...same old, tired, desperate agenda will lose them another election. They are just old dinosaurs who are dying out, one last grasp at a power they no longer have.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
