Kentucky’s performative “representatives” and senators have some explaining to do. Why KY doesn’t have a red dot in the map below is a mystery to me. From Newsweek, the map illustrates this:
President Joe Biden on Monday designated 31 Regional Innovation and Technology Hubs (Tech Hubs) across the U.S., marking a stride in boosting American innovation, manufacturing, and employment opportunities.
The initiative emerged from the CHIPS and Science Act Biden signed last August, orchestrated by Washington Senator Maria Cantwell, Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
The phase one Tech Hubs, scattered across 32 states and Puerto Rico, encompass a broad spectrum of technological arenas including semiconductors, clean energy, biotechnology, and quantum computing, among others. They aim to integrate private industry, local governments, educational institutions, labor unions, Tribal communities, and nonprofit organizations.
If anywhere deserves jobs investment, it’s eastern KY. WTF, guys?

I hate seeing these negative stories about Southwest. Not because I don’t believe the stories, but because SW is my lifeline transportation between homes. I’ve run into a few surly flight attendants in my time and only narrowly avoided something like this happening. I don’t do well with another person having absolute power over my fate, particularly when said person is acting unreasonable. In this story, WTF Southwest? Air travel continues to be a race to the bottom, sadly.

It’s really looking bad for Herr Drumpf in the Georgia election-tampering RICO case. Another of his ex-lawyers just plead guilty (flipped on him); this time Jenna Ellis. That’s three flipped lawyers – the prosecution must now know *everything*. This is the case that I believe will find Trump guilty and move us on to the “what’s next?” part of having a felon ex-Pres. How do you put a guy like that in jail? I think we’re about to find out.

Well, this just happened. Now the world’s most powerful bot has access to all of the Internet, including all the misinformation, lies and crazy shit that’s out there. WTF, guys? Who thought that was a good idea?
