I found this tag and theme today, and I'm loving it.

This might seem like a knee jerk "like," but I do love this photo. Any dog photo, really, but this is a really good one.

Foreign policy shouldn’t be driven by apocalyptic theology.

This is exactly why the separation of church and state matters.

Are we supposed to believe them?

I like the ladder the panicking family is supposed to hurry down.

The Dangerous Mismatch Between American Missiles and Iranian Drones The United States has only so many expensive munitions to send after Iran’s cheap and plentiful arms.

I haven't seen a lot about this. Each of our THAAD interceptors, which shoot down missiles and drones, costs more than $12.8 million, and we produce only 96 a year. Iran makes 5-6,000 suicide drones a month at $50,000 each. Gift link. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This could help so many people. The drugs help with food cravings, so it makes sense that they could help with other cravings.

Yes, but I'm blaming my router.

My milkweed went a little nuts in 2023. Showy milkweed (left) and one of the whorled (?) milkweeds. Sadly, I don't see monarchs very often. Coneflowers on the left and mallow on the right.

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

The First Amendment already “bans Sharia law.”

It also bans the government from imposing any religious law — including the Christian nationalism that Senator Tuberville is so eager to codify.

Who voted for Iraq 2.0?

They're tiresome to read, too.

Not a book, but I would recommend a link to the Cornell Merlin Bird ID phone app for identifying birds by sound. (I write a monthly gardening column for my neighborhood newsletter.)

Loved all of it, including Mumford & Sons. I had to keep apologizing to my dog for laughing out loud.

A break from war news.

I guess that's why I love them.

What's so funny, Lindsey?

Best all-around SNL episode of the season so far last night. Surprisingly up to the minute opening; LOL monologue, sketches and Weekend Update; and the fabulous Mumford & Sons. I'll be happy to watch a few reruns of it.

That's exactly what I thought when I read it.
