My first beehive! I’ve been beekeeping with my dad since 2007 but only got my own place a few years ago. Between two kids and a bunch of other yard projects, I just haven’t been able to get a hive set up until now. I planted a 100’ x 12’ wildflower meadow strip for them. More to come! #Beekeeping

“Hauling ass” and “dragging ass” are semi-literal equivalents but figurative opposites.

Fuck delta air lines. I’ve been sitting on a plane for 5 hours and haven’t left the ground. This was only a 4 hour flight: We’ve deplaned twice. Right when we were about to leave the second time, the pilots “realized” they would be going over on duty hours. Back to gate. Fuck delta air lines.

Cheryl Fucking Hines has ruined Curb Your Enthusiasm for me.

She and her brain worm addled husband deserve the suffering coming for us due to this kamikaze of HHS.

I’m sure they’ll keep a stash of antibiotics while we watch our quality of life plummet until we die of treatable illnesses.

"This is not a one-off; remember that Vance has been suggesting since at least 2021 that a re-elected Donald Trump should defy the courts. It’s unconscionable for any lawyer to do this, let alone a lawyer who is the vice president of the United States."
JD Vance Wants a Constitutional Crisis
But what he *needs* is to bone up on the separation of powers.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.

This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

The mark of a good Cottage Pie is its rich, meaty filling, thickened just enough to cradle a golden crust of buttery mashed potatoes.

Here’s this Yank’s take. I can already hear the collective groans—but it’s made with the utmost respect (and just a touch of irreverence).

A breakfast sandwich should be more than just a rushed meal. This croissant creation combines the smoky spice of Italian sausage with the delicate silkiness of soft scrambled eggs and the gentle bitterness of wilted spinach. Smoked Gouda adds a creamy, slightly nutty finish.

Must be that the people at the National Weather Service & Hurricane Center were a serious threat to American "values," as defined by a drug-addicted South African billionaire.
DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

The courts appear to be all the is preserving the rule of law in the United States, since the Republican-controlled Congress have willingly cucked themselves to Trump.

I try to remain level-headed.

VP's post is to gauge public opinion on ignoring the courts, which equates to the destruction of a check on power as laid out in the Constitution.

Anyone who took the oath of service to defend the Constitution would be required to respond.
