Moving Day and Open Thread

Today is TalkLeft's 23rd Birthday! I wish I had time to celebrate it. I am moving apartments today, same building, same size unit, great mountain view, but a different floor. Why bother? The new apartment is $450. a month less.

You would think moving would be easier not needing a truck but it is not. It's also not much cheaper.

I'll probably be offline for the weekend with the transfer of internet service, but here's an open thread, all topics welcome.

I think I could use a birthday drink. If you can spare it, here's the button.

    I hate to move.  I plan to die in this house.

    Trump Bets on Cage Fight to Revive His Political Power
    June 13, 2026 at 1:47 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 397 Comments

    Wall Street Journal: "The event portends an unprecedented fusion of the presidency and extreme combat sports, intended to bypass traditional norms and reconnect the president with a base that feels alienated by Washington."

    "In recent weeks, the verdant space better known for the Easter Egg Roll and receptions for world leaders has been transformed into an arena for a violent spectacle that has electrified mixed-martial-arts fans, outraged critics and intensified the collision of sports and politics."

    Roughly 30% of the country gives a krap about the cage fight.  But Trump thinks it's his 30%. It might have been at one point but I don't think a cage match is going to make up for the threat of being drafted for those 18-29 year olds now.

    It's supposed to rain.
