Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
Youngest (19) sent me this the other day - to which I replied - yeah, that was me at your age with the “war” in Iraq. Change a letter and everything old is new again
Absofuckinglutely
The gamification of life is leading to our demise
Your regular reminder that GOP members of Congress are completely okay with what he’s doing…
Road Rules really messed with him
Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

I hosted a friend the last two days who is traveling with the Lifes Rich Pageant tour to write a book (she’s journo/media prof). She told many stories last night.
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
It does - and confirms what we suspected, they used an LLM to screen words. There was no “assessment”.

Was *so* surprised!!
Husband had an essential worker position in a lab so his routine was the same (which helped us maintain normalcy)
And we got the doggo
Infections disease docs saying “this will be at least 6 months” Telling college kid to bring all her stuff home as I didn’t think she would be back. Middle and HS kiddos calling on drive home that they just got spring break early.
We had a kiddo still mildly sick w/influenza like illness (likely covid)
dad going into open heart surgery (ended up being the perfect time for that as things hadn’t ramped up here)
Work (campus) sending students home and all us science people saying “ignore leadership bring everything home now”
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Your patriotic duty is to make sure the oligarchs get their $$ - stop your complaining, give them your money, and you spot in the afterlife is guaranteed

There is a house, on one of our long walks, that leaves treats on tree lawn.
We dominoes that idea with free little library - and have a free little dog treat house by our driveway for all the doggos
Oh no! That is frustrating and stressful. I hope you get in touch with a real person

Holy shit
So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?
Not addressing the wacky “spiritual warfare and malevolent forces” becaus Wtaf
