For those from outside of Oklahoma, the individual featured is RyRy. He is the head of our state department of education. He’s tenure of “productivity” has been so successful that, despite every ounce of his butt kissing of the MAGAt-in-Chief, he was not only passed over for his desired spot …

I’ve lost track of how many colleagues and friends have shared this Valentine meme with me over the past couple of days - kudos to the unknown creator; you are appreciated more than you know. 💖

Not all heroes wear capes.

In this era of “President” Musk and Puppet Trump, this has to be the new logo and motto for the MAGAt movement.

Why didn’t anyone tell me to move Taipei up in my list of places to visit? I’d probably have come here sooner! - The views from atop Taipei 101 are amazing, even on a cloud covered day.

Ummm 🤔 I’m not sure of all the details on this Jet Blue flight that is behind the Southwest flight that I just boarded. I hope that there are no significant injuries.
