In the Army stationed in West Germany. On Christmas Eve, the APO Post Office had a "last minute package delivery" at 9 pm. Grandma had sent me 6 dozen homemade Toll House cookies for me with instructions "Don't eat them all, share some!". Best present ever on my first Christmas away from home.
Retired white Texan guy here. I voted for Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary. I wasn't happy that she didn't win, but I will nonetheless support James Tallarico in the General Election.
Your analysis is spot on. In retrospect, Rep, Crockett emphasized how bad Donald Trump was. We knew that.
🚨FAKE NEWS ALERT🚨 Fox & Friends swapped in old footage to hide Trump wore a baseball cap at a dignified transfer. Because nothing honors fallen soldiers like editing reality to protect a grown man’s image. Even state TV would blush.
Why would Russia bother? A commercial Chinese company gives 24/7 real time satellite imaging of the Persian gulf for free. You can watch American planes in real time!

The worst?
Probably the man who drove Oklahoma's schools to the worst in the nation (displacing Mississippi), State Supernintendo Ryan Walters. He can push his "Bible in every classroom" agenda nationwide!
I'm disappointed that Jasmine Crockett didn't win the Texas Democratic Senatorial primary tonight.
But I'll absolutely vote for James Talarico in November.
US Intelligence agencies supplied Department of "War" with out of date maps. Former miltary IRGC training center was repurposed as a girls' primary school back in 2016.

Stood in line for 90 minutes yesterday, the last day of early voting in Texas. 400+ folks in line, mostly older white folks and younger non-white folks.
One couple decided to lecture us on how important it is to vote "correctly", because the 25-35 demographic only cared about one thing: Gaza.
Sad that I had to scroll down 100 posts to finally see some love given to "What is Life". Back when the Earth was cooling, I distinctly recall the first time I heard the "fuzzy guitar". I remember sitting up and thinking "wow what is THAT?' 😀
And "End of the Line" is by far the best Wilburys song.
Alright, listen. This is a Free Palestine account.
Israel is ABSOLUTELY committing genocide. Israel ABSOLUTELY has to give land back to the Palestinians.
And I find murdering women and children in the name of Judaism to be real antisemitism.
If that's a fucking problem, block me.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal
US Coast Guard chain of command:
Admiral → Commandant → Secretary → Guy Fucking Kristi.
You can’t “we need our guns” your way to perpetuating school shootings while “he had a gun” your way to justifying public executions.

In my lifetime, I've witnessed the American right wing morphing from supporting the "Stars and Stripes" to the "Stars and Bars". In 2026, they've morphed once again to their final stage: "Stars und Swastikas".

Same here!
Crippling the pandemic response functionality of the CDC is arguably the biggest self-inflicted wound in the history of American healthcare.
The next "Covid class" pandemic will be far, far worse for America.
VERY disappointed with the changes to the Amazon product pages. You can no longer search by "best seller" or "highest rated" items, and only the first few 5-star reviews are available to read.
We're now forced to rely upon Amazon's AI generated summary of reviews now and their "recommended" brands.
I admire that you "put your money where your mouth is"!
well done, young lady!

My new favorite YouTube channel. "Trump without Trump"...unhinged Trump rants read by a narrator.

"Refusal to accept reality" is a core tenet of the MAGA philosophy.
The hard right became untethered from the reality-based world in 2016, preferring the echo chamber cocoon of "alternate facts", where June Cleaver wears pearls as she vacuums the house in their faux 1950s narrative that never was.
Ms. Phang, I typically don't subscribe to YouTube channels. Having said that, I will gladly make an exception for you, your have had an absolutely stellar career as a journalist and I look forward to your content in the weeks ahead.
Best argument yet for bringing back caltrops.

Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw and Senator Ted Cruz doing their part to keep tensions high by reusing George Floyd riot pictures from 2020 and claiming they were taken today in Los Angeles.
Unilever announced last year they would spin off their Ben&Jerrys subsidiary by the end of 2025. The "Project Esther" folks (ultraright Jewish billionaire fund managers who feel Israel can do no wrong) want Unilever to shut down commentary from Ben Cohen, which they contractually cannot.
