@deptvetaffairs.bsky.social Congrats VA on a stellar job declining benefits to an 80 year old Vietnam War Navy veteran (who actually served on a naval ship in Vietnam) and who was stationed on Guam, thus having his confirmed medical conditions covered by the PACT Act. Thank you for your service.

A minute to put together. Two hours to fluff. And then I’ll get grief for putting Darth Vader on it later. I love this season (really, no sarcasm intended). The cats certainly do.

Happy decorating if you do this sort of thing!

Jon Batiste blues-ing up Beethoven just seems so perfect as Thanksgiving week kicks off, the wind howls outside, and snow looms large for the end of the week.
Cover to Jon Batiste's latest album "Beethoven Blues".

Morning Oatmeal. Mmmmmm.
Comic about the word “queue” from The Oatmeal. One arrow drawn from the letter Q points to the following statement: “You can say the entire word simply by reading this first letter aloud.” A second arrow drawn from the remaining letters u, e, u, and e point to: “‘ueue’ just hangs around like the last guy at a party. The party’s over ueue. Go home.”

I just blocked Mark Elliott Zuckerberg after he followed me today. I realize he’s a college dropout (from Harvard to boot), but his grammar was atrocious, so I’m guessing it was Elon Musk trying to pass himself off as Mark. And since I’m no Elon fan, I blocked him.
