I'll 67 that! ;)

Thinking about tomorrow's gospel reading - "You are the light of the world."

When day comes, we step out of the shade
aflame and unafraid.
The new dawn blooms as we free it.

For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it.

— Amanda Gorman

He's changed a lot from those early days.

I agree. Functional medicine has a LOT to offer. Dr. H's early work was instrumental in helping many people with inflammatory conditions who didn't respond well to traditional medical intervention. That was then, but unfortunately now he has veered off into a whole different self-promoting world.

Do it! It's like a slow-moving sleepover with new friends along the way. Seats are wide, some leg room, adjustable. My two kids and I have gone cross country in coach a few times. Just don't expect it to be fast. Amtrak is often behind schedule, at least out here in the West.

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove.

people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

More like Russia gets Europe, China gets Asia, and the US gets Central and South America. This is just the start.

If she had even tried to actually quote something from the Bible she might have landed a few points. Love that Grok agreed!

He was such a sweetie! <3

Because his crazy actions provide a foil for them to do the really nasty stuff without as much notice. If he were out of the way, then their agendas would be more transparent, with more potential pushback.

Sometimes you have to do what you can right where you are, especially in these crazy times. A great day helping out at the San Benito Agricultural Land Trust, with a little hiking at the end.

Very scary stuff.

Kids Can Press company logo and logo and image of Franklin character with statement text,”Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy, and inclusivity. We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values.”

It's been four months since I posted this, and in that time, AltNPS gained 100,000 new followers on Facebook.

Or in this case, the secretary of defense.

It's legal because he says its legal. Sounds like a strong argument to me. ;)

I misread the title of your book and thought it was "Calling Bushtit." Gotta love those little guys!

My wildland firefighter son got Valley Fever from fungus released during a prescribed burn in the Sierras. He was miserable, missed work (unpaid), and his private contract company refused to cover his medical expenses. Some sort of respiration protection is urgently needed.

Perhaps this release of papers gives context as to why Wolff is suing Melania, who is threatening libel. Seems that everyone here has something to lose.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

ProPublica is one of the few organizations I would trust to vet such a source. They are not on a "side," but are on a mission for government accountability, no matter the party.

My 91-yr-old mom just had an MRI for what I'm guessing are similar reasons: to rule out a mass or other factors contributing to cognitive decline. The point is not whether or not decline is happening, but why and what might be done (if anything). Same with DJT, I'm thinking.
