Dad to Teen Queen, lawyer to your pets, gratefully retired infantryman in a past life, educator of sorts. Pineapple belongs on pizza. Fascists need not apply.
Okay, you Generals and Admirals.

Time for you to declare whether you are for democracy or against it.

Because this is not the plan of a rational commander in chief.

Folks, meet a guy whose achievements rival anything that Jonny Kim (yes, that one) has done.
A must read!!!

Thank you Charlotte for writing this 👍👍

On this day, five years ago...we learned exactly nothing.

Because here we are, now.

Dear NRA,

You spent an awful lot of time during the Clinton and Obama years telling anyone who'd listen that you and your membership were there to defend America from tyranny and Federal overreach.

Your silence now is deafening.

Almost as if that wasn't your real purpose at all.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

It's going to take decades to undo the lawlessness, home and abroad, that FOTUS has unleashed.

But in the short term, it's going to be very difficult to enforce any of the norms and standards that has maintained the uneasy, messy status quo since 1945.

Let this be the year where people encourage, cajole and persuade governments and NGOs to use Bluesky as their default social media portal to fight disinformation and disseminate critical, real time emergency data to their citizens.

And, of course, make them abandon Twitter once and for all.

No problem.

Until every Gold Star mother in the next few wars happens to be white.

Then, and only then, will MAGA understand the injustice of this nonsense.

So, as we end the year, I have a question for you that will become more relevant as the parties get closer to midnight.

What's your party killer? The one song you would play to force your guests to the exit?

For the handwringers who are all “How can the Ukrainians target Putin?”, two things:

1. Anyone in the military chain of command - up to and including a commander in chief - is a legitimate target.

2. Google “Aaron Bank, Hitler”.

I want to congratulate Omar El Akkad for coming up with the perfect book title, not just for the subject matter, but one which captures the zeitgeist of the near future,perfectly.

And @sailorrooscout.bsky.social and his colleagues hit another scientific grand slam.

So grateful to them all for staying true to their research and methodology in a time of politically manufactured skepticism.
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

TQ: “nothing.”

Some of you are guilty.

Guilty of entertaining some incredibly dense and intellectually dishonest folks.

Please do not bring the likes of Dort into my time line, I beg of thee.

So,what did you get for Christmas this year?

I got an electric bread proofing bowl, and I am exceedingly pleased. Results to follow.

Pro tip :

Never let your mother in law load your plate for you.

Her idea of "keep it light" and yours will not coincide.
December 25, 2025 at 7:18 PM
As you gather around the table with your families today, please keep this in mind.

You'll be with your friends again soon. Promise.
December 25, 2025 at 4:28 PM
Wishing you all peace, joy and love today, whether you celebrate or not.

Heavy emphasis on "peace", because whether you're on a front line somewhere, struggling to put food on the table, or merely suffering with First World Problems...peace is probably the one thing we all really need at this time.

Spoiler alert, kids.

The stories you are fighting over when it comes to the MCU and Sony Marvel movies?

They were written back in the early 80s.

Us olds can tell you about all the plot twists, resurrections, and everything from Spidey's first bite, through the Secret Wars, to Doomsday.
