MN2theMax's JournalWhelp, just cancelled my NYT subscription
Should have done it a long time ago. I was just reading an article about voters who would vote for Harris, but not for Biden. Interviewing a democrat who says they would vote for Hitler-wannabe rather than Biden. Don't remember ever seeing an article where they talked to an enthusiastic Biden voter, or even informed democratic voters. Always these uninformed, "Biden is too old" or "Biden hasn't done enough" voters. I just snapped. Why was I paying money for this drivel. So I cancelled.
Now I'll have to find another news source. 
New York judge lifts gag order that barred Donald Trump from maligning court staff in fraud trial
Source: Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York appeals court judge on Thursday paused a gag order that barred Donald Trump from commenting on court staffers in his civil fraud trial. The trial judge had imposed the gag order last month and later fined Trump $15,000 for violations after the former president made a disparaging social media post about a court clerk.
In his decision, Judge David Friedman of the state’s intermediate appeals court cited constitutional concerns about restricting Trump’s free speech. He issued a stay of the gag order, allowing Trump to comment freely about court staff while a longer appeals process plays out.

Highly Recommend Muster Dogs
This four part series is an Australian reality TV contest takes five Kelpie pups from the same litter and distributes them to all corners of the continent. The challenge is to train the pup to he a herding or muster dog within 12 months.
I find this very relaxed viewing. The scenery is varied and beautiful. The people are humble and interesting, and the dogs are absolutely amazing.
The show can be found on Netflix. I highly recommend it!
Fact or Fiction? In This War, It Is Hard to Tell.
Social media is full of false and misleading posts. The rise in A.I. is making it worse. And the trust in traditional news sources has declined. Link to gifted NYT article below.
"Snip"
Increasingly, our digitized lives have become an information battleground, with every side in any conflict vying to offer its version. Old images have been recycled to make a new point. At the same time, actual images have been disputed as fakes, including a bloody photograph that Donald J. Trump Jr., the former president’s son, shared on X."Snip"
Reliable news organizations used to function as curators, verifying information and contextualizing it, and they still do. Nevertheless, some have sought to question their reliability as gatekeepers, most prominently Elon Musk, the owner of X.
The day after the fighting in Israel erupted, Mr. Musk shared a post on X encouraging his followers to trust the platform more than mainstream media, recommending two accounts that have been notorious for spreading false claims. (Mr. Musk later deleted the post but not before it had been seen millions of times.)

Was just driving home after an evening out
From the time I left home until now, the price of gasoline jumped 60 cents a gallon.
WTH is it this time? OPEC slowing production? Pushback to Biden cancelling drilling leases in Alaska?
Glad I filled up a couple days ago. Geez!
