Suburbs lawn scam. Old show called ADAM RUINS EVERYTHING has an episode all about it.

@panotiller Yep. All for aesthetic little for environment. Huge waist of water also. All these new suburbs should be implementing better alternatives.

Mowing grass has to be the biggest scam.... what did they do 100 yrs ago?? $10k for lawn mower?? To dump $4 gas into it?

@JessicaBlumWx HARP located in Alaska is a major driver of this since 90's. It would be interesting to see models pre- militarized influence. JK. IDK.

I love being a nerd. I bought maps of Nebraska today with a weather friend. Now I’m just mesmerized by looking at the upper-air pattern over the next 384 hours.

@Rosiedidyaknow Good riddance.

This would be funny except the spring transfer portal window doesn't exist anymore.

@efino87 People stage vehicle at end of driveway and ride snowmobiles back and forth.

Since I have no snowblower and there is no snowplow out here, getting to the bus is more challenging. Now we get to play a game called “where is the driveway?”

EXCLUSIVE University of Nebraska at Kearney (@UNKearney) wants faculty to attend a meeting where they'll be taught about Empowering Trans Students and creating a DEI-inclusive classroom. This university receives our tax dollars DEFUND @doge @usedgov So sick of this trash

@overton_news Cross can't articulate a simple reply. Easy for most not in a bubble. But few of his ilk can. He's one of the best at comedy.

Bill Maher just dragged leftist actor David Cross out of his bubble and forced him to confront the truth about Zohran Mamdani. Maher proved how Mamdani is a straight-up communist, while Cross tried to play dumb. Maher didn’t let him. CROSS: “Well, I said Democratic Socialist.” MAHER: “I know what Democratic Socialist is, that’s Mamdani.” CROSS: “Yeah.” MAHER: “Who’s a straight up communist.” CROSS: “No he’s not! No he’s not! Bill!” MAHER: “He is, first of all.” “He has someone working for him named Cea Weaver.” “Have you read about her?” CROSS: “I have not.” MAHER: “See, that means you’re in a bubble.” CROSS: “Okay...” MAHER: “Because you should have. Okay, let me tell you who she is.” “She’s like one of his top lieutenants.” “His big issue was the rent’s too high...she’s the head of like, we’re going to fix housing.” “This is like what got him elected.” “He has not disavowed her and I can show you all her Tweets that she’s put out over the last few years and quotes.” “And one of them is; ‘Elect more communists.’” “I don’t think you have to read between the lines, if somebody he stands with and by is saying that.” “And also her other quotes are like; ‘All homeownership is racist.’” CROSS: “Well, that’s ridiculous.” MAHER: “Exactly!”

The ‘reality show’ Hoarders is a stark depiction of the downfall of the American middle/working class. People have homes, enough $$ to fill them with trash, shop to fill a void in their lives, but lack the will to maintain order. It gets out of control and they just tune out.

@billholtan @GlobalWresOrder 13? Why not more. Keep wrestling or you end up with this ending of a match.

@3rdfloorview @GlobalWresOrder He scored 13 points😂

WOWWWW‼️‼️ VERY close call here in the 70kg finals - I truly thought this would’ve been 4 + and additional 2 for Henson, but the refs say only 4. NCAA Champion🥇Ridge LOVETT (NRTC) puts on one of the best tournaments of his career and wins the US Open 🔥 What do you guys think of the call?

@billholtan @GlobalWresOrder Yep. Then went prevent, allowing Henson to score 12 and arguably win.

This pic exemplifies why many have little sympathy for low grain prices.

Nebraska is deep red, yet our own tax dollars are funding the radical Left’s takeover through dark money NGOs and PACs. Swiss billionaire Wyss has funneled millions via groups like Civic Nebraska to ram through abortion ballot initiatives voters had rejected. SPLC peddles hate-4-dollars while its entire Tides-backed network pushes extra-constitutional policies the electorate didn’t want. How did this happen? Move everything to unaccountable NGOs we still pay with tax dollars? Once the money hits these networks it’s all fungible — you can’t separate the tax dollars from the rest. Who is asleep at the wheel in this state? We know the AG and State Auditor are trying to root out this corruption — but what about Secretary of State and Governor Pillen? Pillen signed one bill on foreign money, yet the flow continues. SoS refused to even meet with Pete Bernegger — a guy who mapped 55,000 liberal NGOs and offered his tool to help. @NEAttorneyGen @NebraskaSOS @TeamPillen @NEGOP @NEStateAuditor #Nebraska #DarkMoney

@trapdoor1873 Might tick some off but.. Last 30 yrs or so farmers have not been good stewards of the environment. It's been rip out every tree, level everything to the roads while manipulating creeks, dump every bit fert you can and irrigate till the ditches flood. It's a lost culture.

The orange haze you are seeing in SE South Dakota right now is the direct result of excessive tillage practices for planting corn and soybeans. There are tools available to farmers to direct seed into previous crop residue. Keeping the soil untilled and covered prevents this...

Stossel and Sheryl Atkinson ( FULL MEASURE) are some of the most under followed reporters.

Our government ran schools are putting their students on the "buddy system" because our government ran judicial system is releasing sexual predators onto the streets 😤

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
