Melania’s documentary was our inflight movie.
People got up and walked out.

He wants people on "that side" to tamp down? How about he make sure the side he is on tamp down?

Sure, as far as names go, but the dragon fruit is pretty close to tasteless and totally unworthy of the name hype.

Maybe people should start suing for being labelled by Noem, Bovino, Miller et al as a, "domestic terrorist," for simply speaking the truth.

Is she putting a "kill list" together for Noem'd goon squads?

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

But my understanding is that modern leaders of the technocrat movement do not approve of MAGA or Musk. (Not defending MAGA, Musk or technocrats, to be clear.)

Kind of weird that there was "nothing wrong" about what Trump and others did on the Ellipse back on January 6. They had a PA system to "amplify emotionality" didn't they? [As I keep saying, if Ashli Babbitt was a "victim" and her family got $5 million, how much should Renee Good's family get?]

That "centrist" probably thinks Ashli Babbit was murdered.

This must be a STATE prosecution, so there can be no "Presidential pardon."

My wife fell at the end of October and hurt her ankle too. This is the post surgery x-ray. Feel better soon.

Miller does not seem to understand that after WW I, the victors sliced up the pie to their liking . . . and WW II started barely two decades later. What Miller is describing as a negative led to 70 years of (relative) peace. So easy for Cadet Bonespurs and Pee Wee Himmler to see empire.

Of course, the prices were lower before the tariffs.

When you are in such a mood, the simple fix is to call it chili with beans. If you simply call it chili, it is understood to be without beans.

Much as I love Mr. Petty, it is important to honor the original . . .

When I saw Mr. Diddley, he had his rectangular bodied guitar.

Do the beets actually have to attend Harvard, or is that just something they manage to drop into every conversation?

Actually not bad (but I read almost everything he writes, so . . . .)

Today, I got my pilot's license from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency!
(Of course, it is just for a drone under 250g, but still . . . .)

Loved seeing her a couple times in NOLA, last time at JazzFest a few years back.

I have a friend in Murano that makes them out of glass . . . probably even more expensive.

When she says "we"- she doesn't mean the majority, who are in control . . . she means anyone but us!

I only managed 17 (I don't count NYC, since I only was at the airport there).

Trump is trying to provoke a response so that he can invoke the Insurrection Act. Then it is "game over" for democracy.
A difficult situation because doing nothing invites a slide to fascism. So, non-violence and humor (some of the antics used in Portland) will help.
