SOUND ON. Absolutely a required piece to listen to...the view of Denmark on our JD Vance. Yes, all of us struggle to have positive thoughts about Vance, but this Dane, who serves his country and KNOWS OURS ALSO, makes his points over 2..5 minutes. Please listen even for a minute or so. Stunning.

Neptune, the mysterious, which I planted last year after seeing it in a Bluesky post. I couldn’t find the right spot in the garden for ages and it sat in a pot neglected but once the clematis flowered it was obvious where it needed to be.

Jones: Everything you hear from Tuberville is framed as a sports analogy. When you view everything that way, you’re always stuck in an us-versus-them, winners-versus-losers mentality. That’s how he operates.
But the fact that communities across Alabama are suffering is not a game.
