If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Prof. Robert Pape: In my book I invented the concept of Coercive Air Power as a cautionary tale

US Department of Defence: At long last, we have created Coercive Air Power from classic political science work Bombing to Win: Air Power and Coercion in War.

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

It really does encapsulate where we are at when the US women's medalists have been top to bottom eloquent, thoughtful, wise, fierce, caring, uplifting, supporting, representing all that's good about the USA - and the men's hockey team turns out to be a bunch of frat boy douchebro misogynists

Cub Scout Pack 541's Fundraiser

Shameless plugging: the kids' cub scout pack is selling popcorn as a fundraiser (50% to the pack). Order direct, ships to you, no fuss no muss. It's not the official Cub Scouts stuff and includes some fun flavors.

pack541.company.site

If you order, credit either Vaughn Petersen or Hawk Petersen!

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Tired of renfaire gear not fitting my unusual body type without spending a gazillion dollars, so obviously the right answer is to spend a gazillion dollars on tools and material and do it myself

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files.
1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files."
2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse."
3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."

Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, I have been let go from my role as House Husband. Fortuantely, I have something else lined up starting today.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

I cannot overstate how scalding this is from Minnesotans. Food is the love language of my entire lineage. When you are from this region and you meet someone, the very first thing you do is offer them food (and coffee). For all of the restaurants to say "nope" is an incredible condemnation.
