Do not look away.

We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.

Me to Youngest (nearly 24): Hope you don't dwell too much on a potential draft. That dual citizenship? Your get-out-of-war free card.

I hate all of this.

It 100% hurts to say goodbye to Youngest.

Bag with image of Grover saying "You turned another page!"

Said bag.

Of all the books read repeatedly to the three kids, this is the one that will live on my coffee table in the assisted living unit I hope to someday inhabit.

Youngest, who is nearly 24, bought a bag with imagery from "The Monster at the End of This Book" at a bookstore and I can't tell you how much time I've spent trying to replicate the Grover voice I used in reading this story to him long ago.

"Ohhhhh, you turned another page!"

My favorite part of DST? I slept in until 6 a.m.

Atonement. It is never too late to start.

I don't want to read someone's substack. Please stop asking me to hang out in the Nazi bar. There are enough Nazis I'm already fighting IRL.

Same.

Issa out? Sweeeeeet!

While I might be physically with normies right now, at least I still have mt Signal group chat.

[SIGH] Back to the normies for the evening.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Damn it

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

"See you at Nuremberg 2.0"

I'm taking that as a promise

Take me with you.

Kristi Noem's "Open to Work" LinkedIn Profile

Donald Trump has fired Kristi Noem. That's the good news. The bad news? Markwayne Mullin is taking her job. My Dad used to say something about "be careful what you wish for."

Never realized how much I rely on Bluesky for breaking news until Bluesky broke for me earlier today.
