My father-in-law told my daughter that everything was brown when Dorothy was in Kansas, and then it turned to color when she got blown into Missouri

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

I knew I was playing too much Oblivion when I got out of my car at work and saw morning glories and I almost reached out to pick them so I could mix potions later.

Another thing to add to the @radiofreetom.bsky.social campaign for public decorum:

DO NOT sit down in a waiting room and start playing videos out loud on your phone.

My daughter’s sister in law realized much later that the reason the optometrist didn’t understand what she wanted was because she pronounced ‘tortoise’ as ‘tor toyce’

The most important thing to remember about all this fantasy-engineering of the Constitution is Madison's warning: If we suck as a people, no clever constitutional schemes will save us.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

What about one called the “Git’r Dunn”?

I love Davis’s commentaries on the Psalms and his book The Word Became Fresh.

Dearest Martha,

The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

Yours in glaze,

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.

"Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks--no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea." - Madison

We were also watching Signs, the part where that arm reaches out and grabs that kid, and the two ladies in front of us jumped so bad their popcorn looked like it exploded in front of the screen 

I spent a chunk of my early career covering efforts to criminalize filming the police. That should bother people. I get that law enforcement faces scrutiny. But if you want a taxpayer-funded gun and badge, the public has a right to see how you use them.

My wife and I were just listening to early Brooks & Dunn on the way down to visit her dad yesterday, talking about how timeless they still sound.

I just want a global 'turn all 'ai' off everywhere, categorically, no exceptions unless I individually approve them in triplicate' setting for all my devices

Two children at school in uniforms and it looks like Japan, both of them look like girls or femmes. One is holding a giant tuba so that it's stuffed over the face of the other one that's pinned up against the wall. The one holding the tuba is labeled every company. The tuba is labeled unwanted AI And the one against the wall is labeled me

Blockading our ports, hobbling our access to productive inputs, bringing back hunger, demoralizing the populace: ”What protectionism teaches us, is to do to ourselves in time of peace what enemies seek to do to us in time of war.”

I just retired The first Toyota I have ever owned, a 2005 Corolla, last year at 468,000 miles. Easily the best best car I’ve ever ever owned in my life so far. We now own a Toyota Highlander and a Toyota matrix as well.

As a conservative, there are many social functions I don't think it's the business of the federal government to perform. But as a conservative, I also believe that recklessly pulling the legs out from under people who have come to rely on certain systems being in place is neither right nor prudent.
