🐝 After running out of grenades, Ukrainian soldiers decided to bombard the basement with Russian soldiers with beehives in the Pokrovsk direction.

Only cold and rain here around r Cape Canaveral. Our air handler seems to enjoy generating heat instead of removing it.

As soon as I heard Booker say "The people of New Jersey didn't send me here to oppose Donald Trump," I hit mute and scrolled Bluesky instead. I just don't want to hear any more of that kind of weak-ass bullshit.

Teach them to pause before reacting. To anything! Anything. Insert a mental pause.

One can remain calm and reasoned, and not react to the provocation’s. Breathe and stay calm..

Unless we use it well.

Whiter than shown.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

When Governors Appoint Themselves To The Senate A complete list of governors who had themselves appointed to a vacant Senate seat — usually with unfortunate results.

An article from 2009. www.npr.org/sections/pol...

Because he's not governor after 2026 due to term limits. And he needs a place to hang out in the public eye before he tries for President again in 2028.

all of the most annoying “centrists” in the world would rather hang out with Nazis than hang out here and you know something I think that says a lot more about them than us

Can DeSantis appoint himself to Rubio’s Senate seat should it become vacant?

A correction was made on Sept. 1, 2024: An earlier version of this article incorrectly said that a local chapter of Moms for Liberty had accidentally quoted Adolf Hitler in a newsletter. The group, which later issued an apology, was aware that the quote was from Hitler when the newsletter was published.

Some corrections in the media are misspelled last names. Calling someone an assistant professor when they had recently been promoted to associate. A misheard year that makes someone a few years older than they are.

Then there's this.
