    3. Alan, it doesn't lead to anything dangerous. It's just a profane insult to the Melon Felon. ~Susan

    4. When you pretend to take a photo of the QR code, just holding your phone's camera lens over it, you will see something appear on your screen sort of like a pop up. If you click on it, it will take you to a site. But in this case, you don't even need to click on it to see there's a MESSAGE! ๐Ÿ˜†.
      It reads F*ck Trump! LOL. People are even making tee shirts with this QR code! It's too funny. I love that Susan did it like embroidery or cross stitch! I love subversive creativity!!

    1. Nordy, you just use the camera on your phone as if you were going to take a picture of it and then it *should* reveal its secret. ~Susan (the tech dolt as if I'm an expert!)

    2. Yes, it's actually so cool! When you pretend to take a photo of the QR code, jsut holding your phone's camera lens over it, you will see something appear on your screen sort of like a pop up, that if you click on it will take you to a site. But in this case, you don't even need to click on it to see there's a MESSAGE! ๐Ÿ˜†

    3. My phone doesn't recognize QR codes. I could probably download an app that would let it, but I haven't.

    4. Long distance direct dial is technology enough in a telephone to serve my purposes. For emergency use I have a cell phone (necessary since the disappearance of pay phones), but use a landline phone almost exclusively. Harrumph!

    5. Okay, you guys. Go look out front again. The new second photo shows what one sees when they scan that QR Code.

  4. Mother orca Tahlequah once again carrying her dead calf
    Seattle Times: Tahlequah the mother orca is once again carrying a dead calf, researchers said, as she did in 2018 in a 17-day, 1,000-mile tour that shocked the region and world.

    “It’s heartbreaking to see this again,” Brad Hanson, biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, wrote in an email. He and other researchers were on the water with Tahlequah, or J35, and other southern resident orcas Wednesday. -- nordy

    2. Awwwwwwww! Poor Mama Telulah! I wonder why her calfs keep dying. Such a dedicated Mama orca, too. So sad.

  5. Listener, with regard to 1440, I've been reading Common Dreams for about thirty years and Truth Out almost as long. Think I'll stick with those. Thanks for the heads up though.

  6. I went outside around 6:15 PM to throw out some trash, and Venus was incredibly bright! People continue to speculate about signs that Betelgeuse might go supernova before long; I wonder if I might see that.

  8. The guy who blew up the Tesla was a decorated active duty Green Beret

    Livelsberger served in the Green Berets, highly trained special forces who work to counter terrorism abroad and train partners, the Army said in a statement. He had served in the Army since 2006, rising through the ranks with a long career of overseas assignments, deploying twice to Afghanistan and serving in Ukraine, Tajikistan, Georgia and Congo, the Army said. He was awarded two Bronze Stars, including one with a valor device for courage under fire, a combat infantry badge and an Army Commendation Medal with valor. Livelsberger was on approved leave when he died, according to the statement.

  9. An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’

    THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:
    That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../trump-university.../502387002/)
    That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay." (https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hotel-paid-millions...)
    That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem." (https://abcnews.go.com/.../list-trumps-accusers.../story...)
    That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../donald-trumps.../)
    That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you exclaimed, "He sure knows me." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../president-donald.../4073405002/)
    That when you heard him relating a story of an elderly guest of his country club, an 80-year old man, who fell off a stage and hit his head, to Trump replied: “‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He was bleeding all over the place. And I felt terrible, because it was a beautiful white marble floor, and now it had changed color. Became very red.” You said, "That's cool!"

      That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../donald-trump-criticized-after...)
      That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../americas-first.../549794/)
      That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../what-trump-has.../1501321001/)
      That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!" (https://www.latimes.com/.../la-na-trump-campaign-protests...)
      That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!" (https://www.independent.co.uk/.../donald-trump-orders...)
      That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../why-cant-trump.../567320/)
      That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be." (https://www.huffpost.com/.../trump-insult-foreign...)
      That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!" (https://www.politico.com/.../138-trump-policy-changes...)
      That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!" (https://www.usnews.com/.../how-is-donald-trump-profiting...)

      That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, "falling in love" with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!" (https://www.cnn.com/.../donald-trump-dictators.../index.html)
      That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.” (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../more-5-400-children-split...)
      That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise. (https://www.americanprogress.org/.../confronting-cost.../)

      What you don't get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also...hear me...charitable.
      Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.
