Best Super Bowl ad? Nike. You Can’t Win—So Win. Hands down. I’ve never teared up over a Super Bowl ad before.

Do we still have a Congress? Anyone checked?

Or has that been outlawed as well

About this time every night she leaves the lap she’s in and heads to the bedroom—and sits there, waiting for me to come to bed.

Anyone else finding it hard to read posts from The Onion lately? They want us to laugh at things that really aren’t funny these days. Maybe it’s just me. I’m not ready to laugh at this crap yet.

We had 8+ months of glitches, where sound & video kept going crazy & out of synch. Our TV provider unsuccessfully tried to help, thinking it was a router/booster issue. I finally figured out it was the TV. I brought my little TV in from my sewing room & hooked it up, & it worked perfectly.⬇️

I bet I’m not the only one who feels an intense wanderlust in January. And all the places I want to go to are places I only want to visit in warmer months. Podcasts set in the Yukon and Alaska make it worse.

It’s this time of day, mid-afternoon, when part of me wants to enjoy some unfettered sewing time, and part of me needs a nap. And I know that if I put the nap off for a bit, it’ll be interrupted by Don coming home from fishing.

“how can I make this about me, wait I got it”
tweet from John McCain’s daughter (her name is Meghan but it doesn’t matter as long you’re aware of her deep nepo privilege) in which she mewled “Trump is right about the Panama Canal. This is very personal - my dad was born in the Panama Canal Zone.” as though that’s something anyone cares about

@bennet.senate.gov Shame on you. Did you even read President Biden’s statement on the pardon? After all the horrific things Trump did and will do, you just added to the list of Democratic mistakes that will make things even worse.

Kash Patel has the very Trumpian quality of having done so many different horrifying/disqualifying things that some of them go under the radar.

For instance, this little tidbit about how Patel straight up lied to the Pentagon during a hostage rescue operation and put everyone involved in danger.
On that Friday, according to multiple reported accounts, SEAL Team 6 was awaiting the Pentagon’s green light on a rescue mission in West Africa. The day before, the administration had learned where gunmen were holding Philip Walton, a 27-year-old American who had been kidnapped that week from his farm near Niger’s border with Nigeria. As multiple agencies now coordinated on final details for the evening operation, the State Department worked to resolve the last outstanding task—securing airspace permission from Nigerian officials. Around noon, Patel called the Pentagon with an update: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, he said, had gotten the approval. The mission was a go. The SEALs were close to landing in Nigeria when Defense Secretary Mark Esper discovered that the State Department had not, in fact, secured the overflight clearance, as Patel had claimed. The aircraft were quickly diverted, flying in circles for the next hour as officials scrambled to alert the Nigerian government to their position. With the operation window narrowing, Esper and Pompeo called the Situation Room to put the decision to the president: Either they abort the mission and risk their hostage being killed, or they proceed into foreign airspace and risk their soldiers being shot down. But then, suddenly, the deputy secretary of state was on the line, Esper later wrote in his memoir: They’d been cleared. Soon Walton was reunited with his family. What had happened? Celebratory feelings gave way to anger as officials tried to make sense of Patel’s bad report. According to Esper, Pompeo claimed that at no point had he even spoken with Patel about the mission, much less told him he’d received the airspace rights. Esper wrote that his team suspected that Patel had simply “made the approval story up.” Anthony Tata, the Pentagon official and retired Army general to whom Patel had originally given the green light, confronted Patel in a rage. “You could’ve gotten these guys killed!” Tata shouted, according to two people familiar with the exchange. “What the fuck were you thinking?” Patel’s response was: “If nobody got hurt, who the fuck cares?” Patel denies saying this, or making up the approval story. He “would never jeopardize an operation, American hostages or our soldiers,” he said through his spokesperson. “In every situation, including this one, I followed the chain of command.” But three former senior administration officials independently cited the near catastrophe in West Africa as one of their foremost recollections from Patel’s tenure. They remain unsettled by Patel’s actions in large part because they still have no clue what motivated them. If Patel had in fact just invented the story, as Esper’s team concluded, then why? Was it because the election was in four days, and Patel was simply that impatient to set in motion a final potential victory for Trump, whatever the risk—was it as darkly cynical as that? Did his lack of experience mean he just had no grasp of the consequences?
