Left a life of government and military service. Spend a lot of time with my dogs thinking about the Roman Empire. I make the best grilled cheese—use mayo—it’s all about the melting point!!
Our caffeine needs caffeine today. Misa is giving me a judgy side-eye as I struggle to get moving.

It’s amazing how this 25-year-old system was working fine *right* up to the point where DOGE started fucking with it, and then it suddenly broke.

They’re like arsonists who set fires so just they can rush in and save people
Duffy on the air traffic control system: "The lights are blinking, the sirens are turning ... what you see in Newark is gonna happen in other places across the country."

Good luck, air travelers!

Oh…he just said it…well, if it looks like a duck?
French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

We couldn't say no to these two seniors who lost the only home they ever knew when their owner became homeless. The 13 and 11-year-olds have a lot of medical needs.

“None left behind…” Anne Avery’s advent calendar has astonishingly beautiful details. Actually, it’s not just the Advent calendar, she’s a beautiful story teller every month of the year.
