There were lots of comments on my FB page about people cancelling their National Geographic subscriptions. Wonder why the publishers decided to kill the magazine by selling it to an anti-science/common sense/truth guy like Murdoch. The money must have been irresistible.
Well, I hope this turns out to be a lousy deal for Murdoch if sales and subscriptions tank. Who wants to read another right wing twist on climate change. I certainly won’t be tuning in to any National Geographic specials from now on.
Didn’t hear this until now. I was a big retweeter. Did notice someone telling photographers not to send them free pics in their contest because NG should pay for them.
I was okay with the Wimbledon men’s result. After our Queen won the women’s (which was the most important thing), I didn’t mind DJoke winning – he’s a great player. While I happen to think that Fedex is the superior player, if Djoke wins, it’s all good! 🙂
I don’t read anything he tweets. I just scroll by. His nonsensical statement about PBO is bunk. He acts as if he is running against PBO. Guy has no record of anything to show. I am so deflated with this campaign season.
Thanks, Hf. While both of these actors are good looking, neither of them has the ineffable charisma that our POTUS and First Lady have. Still, I’m glad this is being filmed and I look forward to it.
If Bernie hasn’t annoyed you enough so far, here is some new crap the RW is spreading.
Jeremy Corbyn and his landslide in UK is the same as Bernie.
WRONG. And here are a few of the ways.
Jeremy Corbyn is a Decades long member of the Labour Party. He ran on the Labour Party ticket.
Bernie is (I) and he wants to run on the (D) ticket.
In UK, the position Corbyn is running for is Labour Leader. In other words, leader of his own party.
Bernie wants to be Pres of the whole shebang–while borrowing our party label.
Jeremy got 250,000 votes, which is a landslide. To keep it in proportion, David Cameron, the Prime Minister got 12.5 Million vote to run the whole thing.
So—-it would make more sense to think of Bernie as running for Harry Reid’s job—not President. And since he is (I) he is not eligible even for Reid’s position.
Good explanation Vicki. As for the UK labor party, the Press is very anti Jeremy Corbyn because he is a true Labor man – rather than the centralists the labor party has had for the past many years in the UK. He well sees who is paying the price for the Tory cutbacks – and it isn’t the wealthy.
But a valid question is being raised in UK – this is a guy who has been opposing his own labor party from day one, so how he is gonna demand the same loyalty to be shown to his leadership now?
I love the picture of POTUS and FLOTUS, where FLOTUS is acting like a thrill audience member who got a hello and a chance to shake the President’s hand.
If you are one of those who feels like the current campaign season is a deep hole of emptiness, maybe it would be useful to devote time to promoting what PBO has done during his presidency.
this means that as the campaign draws on and each of us finds something (one) to engage their commitment, by then we will have ensured that PBO’s presidency is not marginalized & the achievements of him and his team are know to those who may not yet know them (or choose not to acknowledge them)
Another huge fire in Northern California. This is sickening. Hundreds of thousands of acres burned on the West Coast. All while GOP Congress denies the crisis.
More white privilege at work. The black POTUS (and his wife) had better be “nice” to America. White pols can trash it to make their point all day long.

I read somewhere it was close to 700 mil.
I guess that says it all. To hell with principle, history, reputation–the $$$ beat everything.
I was wrong. It is 725 mil.

Bill Gates should put up some money for a similar magazine. This is just disastrous.
are you Fing kidding me?! Absolutely disgusting!
Didn’t hear this until now. I was a big retweeter. Did notice someone telling photographers not to send them free pics in their contest because NG should pay for them.
So sad.
from the beebs fp.
spot the error.
LOL..should be 1%, not a tenth. 🙂
that’ll be 100 bucks please.
Wait a minute…
wwhatt? I gave you a puzzle, you solved it and so now you owe me 100.
So that’s how it works, eh…the check is in the mail. I sent it via 100-yr fed-local…
#deadbeat
Oops, somebody slept in math class that one day and it’s showing.

Goooooood Morningggggg..,,hopefruit!
‘Morning pf58! 🙂

Will Fedex give you a reason to live today, since the Queen didn’t on Friday?
I sure hope so. I don’t want another !@#$%&*^***ing wimbledon.
I was okay with the Wimbledon men’s result. After our Queen won the women’s (which was the most important thing), I didn’t mind DJoke winning – he’s a great player. While I happen to think that Fedex is the superior player, if Djoke wins, it’s all good! 🙂
I like joker too but I want fedex to win that damned !@#$%^&****ing 18th title.
Morning, Africa. We have months to go before the Iowa primary and I’m already sick of Sanders. Hope Joe Biden steps in to rescue us soon.
I don’t read anything he tweets. I just scroll by. His nonsensical statement about PBO is bunk. He acts as if he is running against PBO. Guy has no record of anything to show. I am so deflated with this campaign season.
This x 100,000!

Yes, I concur with everything you said. 🙂
THIS!!
If VP Biden doesn’t run, I will not vote for Bernie Sanders.

sooo the gobinment shutdown happened yet?
In the planning stages. This time due to the existence of Planned Parenthood, but that’s just a matter of convenience.

I’m excited for this journey:
Hi meta. Me, too.
Good Morning Ms. Chips!
Good Day Everyone!
I love the picture of POTUS and FLOTUS, where FLOTUS is acting like a thrill audience member who got a hello and a chance to shake the President’s hand.
I have a suggestion.
If you are one of those who feels like the current campaign season is a deep hole of emptiness, maybe it would be useful to devote time to promoting what PBO has done during his presidency.
this means that as the campaign draws on and each of us finds something (one) to engage their commitment, by then we will have ensured that PBO’s presidency is not marginalized & the achievements of him and his team are know to those who may not yet know them (or choose not to acknowledge them)
Another huge fire in Northern California. This is sickening. Hundreds of thousands of acres burned on the West Coast. All while GOP Congress denies the crisis.
Tweets of truth – thanks meta for so effectively highlighting the toxicity of Sanders’ campaign.
Thanks, hf.
How does BS explain PBO’s weekly UTube addresses informing his supporters and American public and requesting their help?
if dreck said it, I do applaud him.
More white privilege at work. The black POTUS (and his wife) had better be “nice” to America. White pols can trash it to make their point all day long.
Amk’s toons!
