Let’s talk about TikTok and the upcoming deal. One twist making headlines: reports suggest a government official could be added to the board. Why would Washington want a seat at the table?

I just had K3 & K4 watch Swing Kids. It seems especially important these days to understand Arvid's speech.

Specifically, the last bit.
"It's not just one song, or that song, don't you see? Anytime you go along with them, anytime you try to help them it just makes it easier."

A musical about bigotry arrives at a Kennedy Center transformed by Trump Parade, the Tony Award-winning musical about the 1915 lynching of a Jewish man, begins its run in Washington, D.C., amid an antisemitic backlash against the show's subject.

One straight stand of hair that looks significantly longer than the curls around it.

Probably the most frustrating part of Irish curious is trying to hide the random strands that end up 4" longer than the rest of your hair. Especially when they're at the front of your hairline.

My new coworker is trying to undo all my hard work!

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Childish looking lunch box featuring blue cartoon dog

K3 (19) starts college in a few days! But my ever-kid-at-heart chose a Bluey lunch box for this year.

Big ass umbrella was worth every penny. Yeah, he's still playing on his phone. Yeah, he took a fan with him. But the kid is voluntarily outside.

It’s strange to hear our government cite the English Court of Chancery as a reason why one judge shouldn’t be able to issue a nationwide injunction. America has no king, we fixed that a long time ago.

The Moms for Liberty backed School Board candidate in my tiny southern town lost in a landslide.
This is what hope feels like.

Rand Paul on Fox Biz: "I do think the jet probably sends the wrong signal, and I don't like the look or appearance of it, so I would hope he would reject it. The Constitution specifically says you can't take gifts from foreign leaders."

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.

Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

One of the only perks of small city (small town) living is being able to go from my house to my eye doctor, get an exam, drive to the library, vote, and drive home in 58 minutes.

Oh YAY. Fuel shortages.

At a graduation event, listening to a trade school instructor tell another parent that he dissuaded his senior from going to trade school. "The market is flooded and no one can make money. We made [kid] go to college."

"Sovereignty beats Journalism" is a little too on-the-nose for me.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Here’s the bottom line; it’s not even debatable:

In order for us to save Democracy…we are all going to have to embrace the fact that it will require much greater personal risk than we are taking right now.

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

The idea that education is intended for girls and disadvantages boys is beyond ridiculous. Look at the history of education and how girls and women were prevented from accessing it. Girls are still penalized today for showing too many inches of skin because it’s a “distraction” to the boys

You look a dream!
