I woke up to read a post on Nextdoor that someone’s emotional support dog ran away, and he needs his anxiety medication. This is all too much.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

It’s really such an incredible thing to witness the killing of little girls at school right there in public, and the leaders just say “meh.” The patriarchal wet dream is really quite a thing.

I’d like to fly on the wing of an airplane, just once. That may be redundant.

Kilroy has left the building. IYKYK

CNN knows what really happened, but does not want us to recognize our own economic power.

I drive 120 miles roundtrip now instead of 18 to go to Costco instead of Target. And it's worth it. I listen to podcasts, have a great time IN the store meeting friendly people, stock up for a month, have a buck fifty hot dog, and go home with a smile on my face.

Of course, the corruption and fakery in higher education precedes the last decade, but the Trump administration is basically curb-stomping the entire enterprise.

In a new low, I just read a fake story about the suicide of a local student. I googled the name of the student and university name which was then passed to some nefarious shithead server that generated a fake story, complete with quotes from their parents and sorority. It was completely fraudulent.

Remember when Hillary Clinton tried to do the healthcare thing?

hahahahaha

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Kuwait's air defense system, which it buys from US companies, shot down 3 American planes. My tax dollars just shot down my tax dollars.

Maybe that’s why we didn’t see him for a bit. That large blister sure does look like a shingles outbreak. He needed the Valacyclovir to kick in. If true, he must be in absolute agony. I love this for him!

This operation is looking like a total charlie foxtrot.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

is it enough yet? still no?

The Wilds region is emblematic of many of the deepest problems in this country, and hardly anyone even knows the region exists.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social we listened to you and @jbf1755.bsky.social discussing Medal of Honor recipients. We are both from deep military lineages, including an immediate family member killed during active duty and grandfather who is an MOH recipient. Thank you for your compassion and clarity.

I don't know about this case in particular, but I do know there is concern about the available stock of defensive munitions.

That is crazy. I read about Bradford hospital closing. How can Pitt Bradford survive that? Every minor problem will end up in Olean, NY ER (not known for its top tier services, AFAIK), a half-hour away when there's no weather.

That’s what Claude is for, and soon ChatGPt. It is a layer of plausible deniability.

CENTCOM confirms three US F-15 fighter jets crashed in Kuwait in ‘friendly fire’ incident, all crews safe Three US F-15 warplanes crashed in Kuwait as Iran unleashed a wave of dawn attacks across the Middle East. Six pilots managed to eject and were rescued.

Sounds expensive. Huh. Meanwhile, we have an 8-county wide maternity deserts in rural Pennsylvania with more coming when the medicaid hits arrive.

this is precisely what will happen

I’m expecting disruption of US critical infrastructure.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

Read my full statement:

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

7 hour road trip report: No Apple Music, No sirius. Very happy with Qobuz (easy to pull over my library and playlists) and the free version of TuneIn. I had one 10 minute period where my cell phone lost signal and couldn’t do shite. Old school. Next I’ll move podcast platforms and cancel AppleTV.

CBS News announces partnership with BBC CBS News says it has agreed to share reporting and video with BBC News, a partnership it says will extend the reach of both organizations.

Thanks for calling this out, I had no idea!! Apparently bbc news is associated with cbs. But big umbrella BBC isn’t? I hope BBC news cuts ties entirely with CBS
