@the1a.org Who pays for the upkeep of the White House Ballroom once it is built? A large event facility requires a large maintenance budget. Will this come from congress or will it also come from the private donors?
wouldn't those people be successful if they accomplished this?
The Eiffel tower has not always been there. Europe is not the only place to go in the world. And the coolest tourist attraction in human history has probably not yet been built. Broaden horizons. Think beyond what social media signals. Make something great. share.google/lRxYR6JOW8Ss...
You don't have to agree, but you have to work to find the place where we come together. And you have to admit in the longer term we are #bettertogether. #commitment #collaboration
You know how people jokingly say "why can't we all just get along?" It's because you have to work at it. You have to compromise. You have to see the perspective of the "other".
Hey, just a reminder, our people have a way with chalk.
This is how I am most likely to sing it
A potential quiz theme: is it a weight loss drug or an off brand Amazon company? Wegovy, Govee, Monjaro, Zepbound, Misolant, and Oriental Cherry...
For everyone on the internet, JK Simmons plays 2 roles. One is kind of loveable; maybe a little dense (think Farmers' Insurance). The other is likely to find someone on the ground suffering from a seizure, and kick him in the groin. If you know you're referencing #2, as a rule-go back and be better.
if you want to copy it at your kids' school, The Forest Knolls Bike Bus folks can give you guidance. DM me with questions.
Would not have expected that the Kentucky derby would be messaging on behalf of Greenland and Canada today....
What does 1000 aged hipsters look like?
I just learned that the lines to Mmm Bop are much deeper than one might expect....
I could never make this request. Makeup would just get in the way....because I'M SO PRETTY! www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...
Do you ever stop to think "he's the richest man in the world. He could be doing so much, and yet, he spends much of his day...tweeting?" There's a prioritization there that just goes so deep in such a sad way.
If George Lucas had made Titanic, he would have released a director's cut 20 years later where there is no room on the door for Jack. That is how he thinks.

Anyone else find calling an AI "Grok" to be utterly misunderstanding what Heinlein meant when he described "grok"?
@beloitcollege.bsky.social , if you see Bob Elder, tell him I am reading today's news and keep hearing his voice. Esp the USTR explanation of how they calculated tariffs....
@the1a.org my national park space is Misty Mount, near Thurmont MD. Every time we go there there was a specific park ranger who would come out and greet visitors. He'd also play music and teach kids woodworking while there. Every park has this kind of guy, who's spirit is wrapped up in the memory.
RAH RAH WISCONSIN!!!!
@the1a.org I so look forward to my first senior coffee. But I need a whole lot of ibuprofen for my lower back before I get there in a few years.
What if, instead of people pronouncing DOGE as "dodgy" we replaced dodgy with doge? "I'm not feeling well, I had some doge truck stop sushi for lunch".
Normally, I think "look at The AI's funny response" is a bit played. But I wanted to share this, and ask, does it look prescripted?
Hundreds of D.C. residents, including parents, teachers, and union members are lobbying Senate offices today against the spending bill that would slash more than $1 billion from D.C.’s local budget.
That could be USAID specific because it was so outsourced, but it will affect those numbers.
Maryland requires that unemployment insurance filers take a class on job hunting. At the one I attended this week we did a count for MoCo and about 60 of them said they were federal, but most were at contractors.
@margaretbarthel.bsky.social re: your piece on layoffs on WAMU today-one thing to keep in mind is that direct layoffs of federal employees is only part of it. Cancelled activities lead to contractor layoffs as well.
Now I will have that bass beat in my dreams. And I'm out!
The number one guy behind the Tesla protests is...Elon Musk.
