What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Replacing my dishwasher, which hasn't worked for the last six weeks or so and before that sporadically, with a new one tomorrow.

Guess what started right up a little while ago?

Bonespurs really needs to get Vietnam out of his mouth.
Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

So I removed a post about a certain retail store (think kids jewelry) that filed for bankruptcy because a photo of a sign posted in front of one of their locations may or may not be genuine.

But this is true: I was shocked when I went to my local mall recently and saw one of these stores there.

Last week I donated around 30 Clive Cussler books to a charity to make space for my massive TBR pile and now this is popping up on my Kindle.

I can’t get away!

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence...

Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.

Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.

We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

Why am I only hearing about Kaleb Horton today? JFC what an amazing writer (and photographer).

Sending love out to his family and friends.

And a general eff you to the universe because this is someone who should be here still. Really.
And now I'm just spelunking around and here's this Facebook post by Kaleb Horton from September 2017. It was three months after MTV dumped its freelancers. I'm sure it would have been a piece there; instead he posted this on FB just to have it written out: Toys 'R' Us as societal microcosm.

Hey ‪@authorizedmusings.bsky.social‬ this is right up your alley!
Y'all, I'm considering adopting a rescue Doberman. I have never had a Doberman. I have had shepherd mixes, lab and lab mixes, and an AmStaff mix. What are some things I need to know about Dobies? What types of things should I know/ask at the virtual meetup next week?

Does anyone else have a hard time with replacing inanimate things like cars? I'm not heartbroken but have the absolute feels about replacing my very old (2012) car, even though it makes sense, logicially.

Part of it is having to make car payments again, but it's also the end of an era.
