I do enjoy when Paul @rieckhoff.bsky.social speaks the truth, fragile feelings be damned. youtu.be/XsTs4rHAJOM?...

Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

It is the worst. I’d rather binge hot peppers.

I spent all day taking care of stuff with the mothership and touring memory care facilities. I’m exhausted and I hate everything. Keeping a fully functional, able body alive when its brain is fundamentally gone is cruel and an indignity. 😣

Galactically stupid, naive, or ignorant? Yes.

Gas is up .60 in the past two weeks l, but the powers that be can’t stop this beauty.

Hi.

THIS!!! When elected representatives of the people fail to do so, they don’t deserve to have the job anymore.

And the manners of one too.

Oh my, did the US get punked? It’s all fun and war games with these clowns until they get caught off guard and know it’s going to be bad for them.

Ah, yeah, good times. We sat in line for hours without air conditioning. 😖

She is the rarest of humans. Someone who looks at all that money and thinks about how many people she can help with it. Few people with incredible wealth are as set on leaving the world a better place than it is.

Another forever war? Or “special military operation” since only Congress can declare war. So, yeah, another Vietnam. All so one person doesn’t get twisted up being exposed in the Epstein files.

Stay strong. Holler if you need a hand.

Everything (ok, almost everything) sucks, but I’m booking travel to England and Ireland for the summer, and I’m pretty excited about it. 😁

This is the best, most wholesome thing I’ve read in weeks. 🩷

False. Sometimes it does cost something. Cookies and ice cream and Red Vines will cost ya. 😉

Have a good week and slay the baddies, G! 🫶

RIP to my retirement account.

IDK but it looks pretty.

Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.

Absolutely TF not!
