Nearly 2 wks after the #assassination attempt on #Trump, there’s still no official report from the Trump campaign or from state or federal govts about what caused the wound on his right ear.

This lack of clarity has left the issue unsettled & fueled speculation online about whether he was hit by a bullet or #shrapnel — or perhaps something else.

is there not a photo that shows the bullet plume right behind?

I imagine it was the bullet. I believe the better phrase would be 'dodged a bullet' rather than was shot.

But would accept a grazing as 'technically shot', it is pretty much the bare minimum for how shot someone could be though.

Who cares? Somebody tried to shoot him and they missed. What does it matter whether he was hit by a bullet or fragments of something else? Stop trying to keep this story in the news. We've moved on.

I just realized Donald Trump must be absolutely livid J.D. Vance is getting all the media spotlight since he was announced as his vice-president pick. I wouldn't be surprised Trump would start pegging him down a notch in the upcoming weeks to get the attention back on him again.
Don't over analyse Trump. It's bad for mental health!

@𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮 :mikupat: I wouldn’t dare, it just dawned on me, and I wanted to figure out whether I was wrong; so I did what everybody does in this case, which is to post on the Internet.

Excuse me we are now living in a time where search engines strike exclusivity deals with websites to exclusively show results of these websites on the one search engine?? Will I need to go with Google to look up reddit posts, Bing to see movie information, and DuckDuckGo for info on ducks now?

I love our post-capitalist cyberpunk dystopia.

Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now Thanks to AI Deal

“They’re [Reddit] killing everything for search but Google,” Colin Hayhurst, CEO of the search engine Mojeek told me on a call.

Hayhurst tried contacting Reddit via email when Mojeek noticed it was blocked from crawling the site in early June, but said he has not heard back.

For all #trans folx out there… I’m thinking about running a survey for quality of trans healthcare. But before I do that, I wanna know: what makes a good interaction for you *as a trans person* between you and your doctor? What has set apart the good doctors/healthcare practitioners apart from the bad ones for you in the past?

Boosts appreciated 💖

auction photo of the frog vase, top down view
"We are pleased to present this large, polychrome doucai-decorated frog vase, a remarkable piece from the late Qing dynasty. The vase is colourfully adorned in overglaze famille rose & underglaze blue on white ground, techniques that exemplify this type of Chinese ceramic artistry.
The central motif features a vivid tableau of lotus leaves, flowers, & birds. Each element is not merely decorative but steeped in cultural symbolism. The lotus represents purity & enlightenment, while the crane is a symbol of longevity & good fortune. The doucai decoration brings these motifs to life, capturing the nuances of color & form in exquisite detail.
Adding to its historical & artistic significance, the vase bears an iron red script Kaishu mark to the base reading "義謙堂龍年製" (Yi Qian Tang Long Nian Zhi). This mark not only authenticates the piece but also situates it within the broader context of late Qing dynasty ceramic production in the Canton region." official auction photo of the frog vase on white background, side profile 2

One of the least affordable US housing markets in decades is freezing residential real estate sales and shutting out a generation of aspiring homeowners.

But one group remains unfazed by the crisis: the wealthy, per Bloomberg.

Somebody reminded me of the classic 1960 presidential campaign ad from JFK and how it could be updated... so I did.

I should be ashamed of myself... but I'm not.

Unlike JD, who appears to be freaked at the idea of being labeled a Upholstersexual. 😏

It was only a few months ago when experts were saying that there was likely a significant cap in what Trump can achieve, due to a lack of hard support, and an abundance of hard resistance.

I think Kamala Harris entering the race is resetting that amongst centrists, who heard about the Trump/Biden debates and thought they might be able to swallow the return of Trump.

Now the calculations are different, and Trump is beginning to look like a loser... and will continue to do so by ducking debates.

Most economists agree that by age 40, you should:
- own at least one enchanted dagger
- know two hidden entrances to fairyland
- have a well developed set of antlers or bat wings, preferably both
- be covered by a thin layer of moss or fungi, your choice
