How's this for irony: Dropped my son off for his first day at high school, and the first song that plays when we get in the car is "High School Never Ends".

I know I should have posted this one earlier, but Elon Musk's "third" U.S. political party only demonstrates how little intelligence and understanding he actually possesses.
That's not to say it won't have an effect, of course, but it most certainly won't be the effect he wants.

My family and I have been watching through Babylon 5 together and it's rather striking just how many of the problems faced are all caused by a thrice-married, twice-divorced, tired, old man, who wants to make his nation great again.
Not to draw comparisons, of course. This guy regretted it.

Right now I am finding myself thinking a great deal about thinking. That is to say, WHAT I think, and perhaps more importantly, WHY I think it. I also feel the need to share in this philosophizing with a friendly, but also critical, audience.

A valid criticism of globalization is that every location loses its character. You can find the same coffee shop on every corner (you know the one) diluting the differences everywhere.
BUT, I challenge you to go to each of those coffee shops, stand at the entrance, and look the OTHER way.

Anyone else think that maybe it's time to repeal the Alien Enemies Act of 1798? Has its invocation ever NOT been an atrocity or an affront to the idea of Liberty?

Reading Terry Pratchett's The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents while listening to music on Pandora when I read the following:
"Of course there weren't just rat plagues - " (Weird Al - My Balogna starts playing) " - sometimes there were plagues of accordion players..."

For anyone NOT concerned about the "DEI"-scrubbing at the DoD: Remember that Russia's Armed Forces did that, and now they're 3 years and 900,000 casualties into a war against a "woke" army a tenth the size.
And they're losing.
(Honestly, they've already lost, but Ukraine hasn't quite won yet)

80 years worth of careful diplomacy pissed away so that a fat, senile, old, idiot could pretend for a few minutes to be a tough, smart "alpha male". Thus ends America's Greatness. It will take decades for us to recover from this, assuming we ever do.

What do you call a military operation that suffers 300% casualties from the initial deployment over 3 years?
