An Alaskan from Arkansas

We know this, but, it bears repeating, these people are stupid.

Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership

I feel good and bad about this but, no part of this would be hard.

Yeah, this is entirely doable. At first I thought it would be difficult during the 10 miles but if I have a whole day!

Wealth is a mental illness.

after failed military incursion, us government responds with economic sanctions

Lord, I see what you’ve done for others…

Great game, can’t overcome 80% shooting, etc. I still hate it!

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

This was a fun time.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

Pretty good little earthquake to wake me up from the mid-day doldrums.

Iced water and, honestly, iced bubbly water. There is no cause for room temp.

Dunning-Kruger.

Dunning-Kruger.

This does feel like most of what "adult" life is like.

We’re watching Drake Maye become a head case. I’d bet against him the rest of his career.

Communion There's no bread. The bakers have gone into hiding. The seats at the table are empty. The Twelve are out marching with the thousands. The streets are filled with a new song. Only Judas sits at Target Plaza, counting his silver, while Pontius Pilate issues a carefully-worded statement. Meanwhile, the centurions have quotas to fill. But out on the streets there's a Communion. Jesus takes the city in his hands and says, "This is my body, broken for you." Rob Hardy February 2, 2026

Making the rounds this week among Christian progressives: new poem by Rob Hardy, poet laureate, Northfield, MN. Yes, the protests and all the work being done to throw sand in the gears and provide aid to those at home and being released from Whipple are a kind of liturgy — “work of the people.” ⚓️

Alaskans: pretty small for a “big” halibut.

NM has its issues, health care and education at the top, but it’s basically never excessively hot there. Even on 100 degree days a well insulated home with evaporative cooling can be pleasant with overhead fans. Likely my retirement spot.

This is one, among many, reasons an all year sales tax makes no sense.

It’s balmy here

This Arkansas game is absolutely a trash viewing experience.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Don’t suck, that’s all I ask. Be a moderate but don’t be a Murkowski fence sitter.

In this divisive time I’m loath to criticize our European comrades, but I don’t like those two British dudes who travel America.

Our side doesn’t make fun of people for physical traits. Just in case we want to continue to be good.

I will canvass for whichever candidate runs on putting this man in prison in 2028.

Be safe! Looks like it's going to be a rough weekend.
