2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money

Could someone please ask him to recite "I put a curse on that plane. My sister is on that plane. I put a curse on that plane that it's gonna explode, burn on fire, and fall into the sea"?

Let's talk about the elevator that's been "scheduled for maintenance" since 1995.

Trump to visit Walter Reed for "routine yearly checkup" 6 months after annual physical exam President Trump's annual physical examination in April showed his vital statistics were all within normal limits.

Anyone else find it suspicious that the clearly deteriorating Donald Trump is having a "routine yearly checkup" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center *6 months after* his last "routine yearly checkup" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center?

Thirteen months seems odd. So, I guess that puts Arkansas troops in Texas through the midterm election.

Shame they didn't roll in down I-40 from Little Rock. Between the orange barrels, 18 wheelers, and the creaky bridge the entourage might have thinned out somewhat.

Paperback cover of Jane Goodall's In the Shadow of Man.

Jane Goodall is gone. What an amazing, full, and purposeful life. I was a tween when I read In the Shadow of Man, and it changed everything for me. She made my 1972 Arkansas world so much larger. The possibilities!

It’s both depressing and darkly hilarious how Lawfare posting has gone from β€œwe got him on an Article 33, Clause 8, Subsection Alpha infraction, baby cannon time!” to *slams whisky bottle down* β€œthe law is fake and I challenge John Roberts to a fistfight at the Walmart parking lot.”

My grandson received his selective service card in the mail today. I'd rather the generals sling Jesus snakes than cook up an excuse to nab this boy.

Proposed Franklin County Prison Looks To Be an ICE Site - For AR People Action According to the local sheriff, the Franklin County prison seems likely to house ICE detainees. Residents want no part in it.

Surprising just about nobody, Joe Profiri met with ICE agents at the site of the proposed Franklin County mega prison.

Sarah wants to illegally detain and disappear our neighbors, it seems. This makes what was already a bad deal even worse.

The U of A might as well fill up a metal dumpster with millions of dollars and set it on fire. It's clear they'd rather burn it on speculative football hires than fund academic programs.

That's easy. Give the schools mediocre or low "grades" and then push parents to "choose" private schools instead. Why send your kid to a C school when you can send them to an ungraded one instead!

I had a parent come in fired up about emails she said I ignored. Turned out she was emailing a teacher at another school who had the same last name as mine. Never hurts to check.

2017: a middle aged man with no criminal history brings an arsenal to a hotel room in Vegas, opens fire on a music festival below, killing 60, and wounding hundreds before killing himself, the worst mass shooting in US history, and to this day nobody has any idea why he did it.
