Good Evening. I went to the Peoria IL riverfront museum today. They had a Titanic exhibit. Then we went to Texas Road House.

She needs to get on the street if she wants to be president some day. Yes it is a security risk but times like this calls for standing up to corrupt power face to face.

Cool we can fund SNAP, pay air traffic controllers, ACA subsidies, all kinds of stuff. Right when we really need it. When do we get the cash?

If we get this right, this investment will prove worth far more than we put in to it.

It seems like ages ago we would be sending help to our neighbors but today we won't even feed our own in need.

It's been a while since I enjoyed a series no more like a movie with chapters like this.

Worth scrolling to see all the skulls, a collectors catalog.

After #Liz48 is sworn in the first group to investigate should be the Supreme Court and then go after the Trump Empire brick by brick.

AI slop is the only way Trump will meet Jesus and get into heaven. In real life he will go into a hole and be covered up with dirt .. end of story.

Today's #mobydick quote 🧵:
With much interest I sat watching him. Savage though he was, and hideously marred about the face—at least to my taste—his countenance yet had a something in it which was by no means disagreeable. You cannot hide the soul. Through all his...

Something primal that can help clear the mind. Last week I got the shakes from everything going on. Music, reading Parables, cooking real food, exercise, and focusing on family has helped. @uofagrad97.bsky.social

Better not show these to my wife, she would want me to get them for her.

I’m not much of a churchgoer or Bible reader, but lately Jesus Calling by Sarah Young has been speaking to me. Often the day’s reading seems to match exactly what I’m feeling or going through. It’s helping me slow down, to focus on myself, & think about the things I can do to make a difference.

This reminds me it is time for a trip to Vanzant Fruit Farms for apples, cider and other goodies located east of Lowell Arkansas.

If I was an investor and this is the quality of their board I would run away as fast I could or maybe just wait until all the MAGA noobs invest then I would sell short.

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

If Ann Richards former Governor of Texas was alive today she might have said “Poor Trump, he can't help it. He was born with a fugazi golden foot in his mouth.”

I am really looking forward to seeing it for the first time in NW Arkansas. And if it starts showing up a lot could mean the kids are starting to get engaged.

What a great list. The wife has already gotten lost in the Chiefs section.

It's easy to find art that speaks us about our world today. 1830s in Japan was a period of famine and use of religion for government control.

Gardening can feel hard & intimidating at first. I found an easy, low-maintenance way to keep flowers blooming for bees & hummingbirds all spring, summer, & fall. Grab a couple of wildflower seed packs from Walmart & sprinkle them in the corners of your yard you don’t use. Nature takes it from there

My linocut print of mathematician & astronomer Nicole-Reine Lepaute (1723-1788) in a vertical gradient (bottom to top) of bright pink to lavender on white paper. She wears a wig and gown and the portrait is from the chest to head. Her 12 diagrams of the phases of the annular the solar eclipse of 1764 as viewed from Paris appear across her shoulders. Behind her head in green is her map of the path of the eclipse across Europe.
