What makes America special right now is that we still have a lot more people who recognize this as horse shit.

β€œBe strong and be of good heart.” That’s how I ended every letter to my kid when they were in basic military training. We all need it even more each day.

Life has a way of showing up in the middle of muck. Spring is coming.

Politics is an endurance sport. What these folks are showing is a last gasp. They cannot last.

I mean seriously, how many impeachable offenses does this man have to do before Congress takes up its Constitutional responsibilities?

Look, again, as I've said over and over and over, it would be one thing if the people obsessing over trans people in sports were interested in some sort of compromise. But they're just... not. www.readtpa.com/p/fine-lets-...

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

War is not a morality play.

The relevant question isn’t: Are the targets bad people who have done bad things?

The relevant question is: Will going to war make things better, achieving something that’s worth the death and suffering it causes?

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war

Whatever the problem is, nitrous oxide is not the solution.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

β€œI am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

three-bean chili This is my ideal three-bean chili. You can make it on the stove, in a pressure cooker, or a slow-cooker, using a little or a lot of heat.

I go vegetarian with this one. smittenkitchen.com/2014/04/thre...

This is the boss. She sensed I was needy today, so she has settled on my lap several times in lieu of making her rounds. Happy #caturday.

I can’t stop watching AI videos of landscaping/gardening. They are so, so wrong, and I laugh at every one. What is wrong with me?
