This whole thread makes me wonder if it's too late to switch fields. Or maybe it could just be a hobby. Holy Dipstick! Thanks for sharing @oldenoughtosay.com

Anyone have a map or numbers for the mayoral results in NY’s 10th congressional district?

On DHS’s unauthorized use of Norman Rockwell’s paintings across social media, an op-ed from our family today in @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Speaker Mike Johnson tweeted The American people are blessed to have a President who is fully committed to their safety and well-being — even when Senate Democrats so callously abandon them. Donald J. Trump tweeted Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do. I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. It is already delayed enough due to the Democrats keeping the Government closed through the monthly payment date and, even if we get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed while States get the money out. If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay. The Democrats should quit this charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons, and immediately REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. If you use SNAP benefits, call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW! Here is Cryin' Chuck Schumer's Office Number: (202) 224-6542 1.8K 17 2.4K 9.4K ihl 156K 企

I added pics from MAL party last night to Johnson’s statement

Perfect quote.

Impressive. Cuz media are complicit.

The Instagram post shows a digitally altered image in which a large, dome-shaped structure is under construction immediately next to the White House, dwarfing the East Wing and surrounding grounds. The partially built sphere clearly resembles the Death Star from Star Wars, with detailed scaffolding visible where the structure is incomplete and a distinctive circular indentation at the top, similar to the superlaser dish on the Death Star. The massive construction dominates the scene. The accompanying caption declares: “BREAKING: areal photograph reveals Donald Trump’s new $250M ‘ballroom’ is nearing completion.” This image and caption together depict the fictional scenario of President Trump destroying and rebuilding part of the White House (specifically the East Wing) to construct a gigantic Death Star—an unmistakable reference to the iconic planet-destroying weapon and battle station from Star Wars. The visual and textual elements serve as a pointed comment on presidential power and the willingness to remake historical landmarks with grand, controversial projects by inserting a symbol of authoritarian rule and destruction into the heart of American democracy.

Beautiful morning in Colorado Springs. Looking forward to the Harmon Lecture tonight!

Photo of trees tops with distant mountain. Buildings of the USAF Academy are in the distance.

Had a lovely evening with the history faculty of the U.S. Air Force Academy. Very much looking forward to giving the Harmon Memorial Lecture tomorrow night!

Lost my mom in February. We each grieve in our own way. May your students show you kindness. So sorry for your loss.

6 years of Pit Crew here. Youngest finally decided 16 hour days were better spent on other activities. October is actually quite a lovely month! Although I do miss seeing some of the cool shows. Those kids all work so hard! Have fun!

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

Plastic rings for a six pack. One set whole and one cut up to save the turtles and birds from horrible fates.

Is GenX the only one who does this or has everyone been traumatized by pictures of deformed turtles they saw as kids?

Black poster with photo of Katherine Landdeck smiling wearing a blue shirt and sunglasses over her head and a Stearman airplane behind her. Four images line the left side of the flyer - one from World War II shows four women walking away from a B-17 airplane with parachutes in their hands, one shows four women from the United States Air Force Academy with helmets on their head and guns in their hands, one shows a confident Jacqueline Cochran wearing a flight suit and resting her arm on the nose of her plane shortly after she broke the speed of sound, the final picture shows a woman from the USAF Academy in a white shirt standing at attention and dark pants with an upper classman wearing a white shirt, a hat and white gloves standing over her. The two modern pictures show women who entered the USAF Academy in 1976 - the first group to do so.

I will be giving the 67th Harmon Memorial Lecture at the United States Air Force Academy this October. From the first lecture in 1959 given by Frank Craven to others by George Herring, John Blum, Roger Launius, and Rick Atkinson, I am humbled to join the list. @crownpublishing.bsky.social

In late June 1973 news broke that the Nixon admin had compiled an "enemies list." Among those listed were journalist Daniel Schorr & actor/activist Paul Newman. Hunter S. Thompson was disappointed he wasn't included. Here's Paul Conrad's editorial cartoon on the Nixon enemies list in the LA Times.
