I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

I am FLOORED by how much support folks have shown for this campaign since we launched yesterday. I can't wait for us to get to work together.

ELP, 1977. The opener was an unknown band called Journey. My (divorced) mom was out of town. I used her car and got into a fender bender in the parking lot. She didn't even know I had my license, since I just took the driver's test to get it the morning before.
Prompt post incoming: what was your first concert?

Mine: Blink-182 w/ Weezer. I was 12 and my dad took me and my friend. Mark and Tom made a lot sex jokes. Exactly the type of thing you don’t wanna experience w/ your father. Especially when you’re in middle school. Also TBS opened. I had a blast.

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Talking to angels and the stars start to spin, thinking of troubles that you've gotten in, recalling how your heart got broken and how it's still that way, makes you the King (of broken hearts) .
Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Shooting out a television in the Jungle Room of Graceland with an illegal handgun makes you a king.
Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Pretending your ship's not sinking, denying the tears in your eyes, and refusing to give in to your blues is how you become king.

Not a single person in the Executive Branch — not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, and not any of their cronies — has the authority to shut down USAID. Congress created the agency by statute.

We ask a lot of our civil servants. Today, we ask of them another task — show up to work. Continue to serve.

Rep. Jamie @raskin.house.gov says Donald Trump’s “incompetence” and “gross mismanagement” factored into the plane crash near DCA: “the FAA was left rudderless for 10 days leading up to the deadly crash because apparent co-president Elon Musk aggressively demanded the ouster of the FAA chief”

Going back a ways, but "Blister in the Sun" (Violent Femmes) really came out of nowhere and was pretty insane at the time
2. What is a insane debut single?

I'm not a sports guy at all, but I've got to say:
The Play (Cal/Stanford 82)
10. What is the greatest upset in sports history?

Actually got myself to logout of Facebook, Instagram and Threads. We'll see if I bother to log on again in a week. #lightsoutmeta

Had all kinds of plans for today but looks like they're going to have to wait. #caturday

Although it is #caturday, I thought for no reason I would post a picture of a jacket on the floor. Next time I'll try to include a cat.

Your IKEA product name is your name spelled backwards with an umlaut

I am TÖBELGA, a chocolate bar with a tasty layer of lingonberries.

I am ELKÖÖP, a featureless black cube that randomly emits bell sounds supposedly for ambiance but the instruction manual was extremely vague on it
Your IKEA product name is your name spelled backwards with an umlaut

I am LÖËJ, an expensive interactive jingling toy that your cat will half-heartedly poke at precisely once then never go near again.
