🗞️I spent the best 11 yrs. of my journalism career at Stars and Stripes. As an editorially independent newspaper that covers the troops for the troops, it is the most important paper in the U.S. and wholly American at our best.
Those troops are losing their most honest advocate, and are worse for it.
When Obama golfed, the thugs bitched and moaned about the cost and counted the play days.
Preznit Pissypants golfs every weekend at enormous cost to taxpayers (Marine One and Air Force One including SS detail and remorae).
Silence on the Right. A cost comparison would be good.
I survived growing up in Salt Lake, and attended a few Salt Lake Eagles games in the Seventies.
Now living in the Chicago Burbs, might root for the Blackhawks’ Connor Bedard. Because post-Utah PTSD is my jam; I cheer every time a Utah team is defeated.

Another heart/brain revver-upper: a fine rant by Wonkette’s Evan Hurst ( @evanhurst.substack.com )
Palantir CEO Karp looks like the love child of Quentin Tarantino and Ka$h Patel, as if you needed more nightmare fuel. DID an AI target the girls’ school? IDK!

Nothing beats an early morning call from an insurance claim adjuster for waking a person up and getting the mind and body moving.
Now that I’ve had coffee and mah Cheerios, I can call her back with the information she needs; the neuro doc referred me to a medical records phone/fax.
UGH.
So many #NoKings protests in the NW suburbs of #Chicago, PLENTY OF TIME!
Bring your signs and your voices to more than one event, and we'll meet you at the big one in Elk Grove Village at 3pm!
See you there! 🙌🏻

The incriminating evidence will not be found in the National Archives, because any written or digital document will be “classified.”

He has had so much fun on #WWDTM - and he did a marvelous job getting the show through the loss of Carl Kassel.
We’ve been listeners since the beginning, when we were irked that the show replaced “Whad’ya Know (Not Much, You?)”. That was during the Clinton admin, when a Ken Starr joke was fresh.
The 85-year-old former CBS anchorman will lend his sonorous, familiar voice to a final show on May 23.
Yow! You’re too hot to pinch. Have a great time!
Ms @sashaannsimons.bsky.social has stepped nimbly into the Say More breach while @pksmid.bsky.social is celebrating his birthday. And then we thought why not add another P Smith to the show? Just while Pat is off?
So Sasha and will chat w/
🔥Patti Smith🔥
tomorrow after 10a @wbez.org
Pinch me.
The IgNobel awards are moving to Europe. Our loss is their gain.
Now if someone could study how to break the programming of the willfully igorant, that’d be greaaaaat.

The ol’ Golden Dome ain’t what it used to be. Looks like he can’t get his candy floss folded and woven back and forth.
I have a similar problem, can’t comfortably raise my hands over my head to arrange my mane.
Oh my god no! The Iranians were developing Trump's healthcare plan.
Mai phase; mai purrsonality.

So still same sausage, different case.
That GOP majority is sitting on a knife's edge 👀
Oh wow, had missed that there is a discount too. Makes a good value great!
I finally worked out a strategy for panhandlers. As a woman in AARP age, alone on foot or bike, I do not love being panhandled. I know and he knows that any man who wants to can overpower and rob me. I also know that panhandling is a symptom of a broken housing system and starved public sector.

Thru study of ancient European DNA, genetic markers passed by males (Y chromosomes) and females (mitochondrial DNA), one theory is that farming women “married” hunter men.
How quaint.
More likely: abduction and r*pe.
But how to test this? Burials of high status women exist, that’s a start.
He’s a former prosecutor I think, so this is a roadmap aimed at an uncorrupted DOJ, whenever that may be.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has a terrifying ability to hit the nail on the head.

The comments are astounding. One user mentioned another horrific string of emails; she gave a file location that pointed to the DOJ archive.
I highly recommend people read and subscribe to Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez on Substack, and SHARE so this gets the attention it deserves and an evil piece of Hollywood, Peggy Siegal, gets the consequences she deserves.
