I teach my students about the lost Minoan Broze Age civilization. Cool bodices.

You got the order of events for George W. reversed. FIRST he started a war in the middle East, THEN he wrecked the economy.

A special Ayatollah Peace Prize in the form of a gold medal.

Sunday was a special day of obligation for newspaper cartoonists.

That's obviously Synthehol so what's to criticise - your choice of fruit? The little parasol?

@olbermann.bsky.social FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE CBS NEWS STOP!

This is Barron Trump in the year 2073.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social My father was a World War II veteran who always said that you could tell the bad officers by the way they pulled the brim of their cap down over their eyes.

At least Trump didn't call the dead Americans "suckers and losers". That's an improvement on his part.

Barron could put his crypto venture World Liberty Financial on hold while he volunteers for a tour of duty with United States Armed Forces in Iran.

"At least no one died YET."

Currently trending on X.

As President Carter himself said later, one more helicopter at Desert 1 in April 1980 would have allowed the attempted rescue of the hostages to proceed. Either that or that one helicopter pilot not crashing into the other helicopter at the Desert One staging area.

Turkey is safe as long as Trump-friendly Erdogan is president there.

Why am I reminded of the classic Doonesbury line, "Begin Operation Frequent Manhood!" today?

Ukraine proved that when it became the only nation to voluntarily give up its nuclear weapons in the early 1990s.

Iran is Trump's last territorial demand. I'm sure that Greenland and Canada and Cuba have nothing to worry about.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Donald Trump came out of Mar-A-Lago this morning and saw his shadow, which means 20 more years of war in the Middle East for the United States.

Russia wasn't there to interfere wth the 2016 presidential election to hurt him.

Why does this story make me remember the old saying, "He knows where the bodies are buried"? I'm asking, not saying.

Growing up as a Boomer child in the mid-20th century I wondered what it would be like to live in a country with children's prisons. I DIDN'T MEAN I REALLY WANTED TO KNOW!

@maryltrump.bsky.social Donald says he wants the Supreme Court to "relitigate" his tarrif decision defeat and now he says that he's "entitled" to at least one more term of office. Why didn't anyone warn us about this guy? Oh, wait...

Nothing says confidence in the public like a politician hiding behind bulletproof glass panels when speaking before a crowd. Ford and Reagan didn't hide like this after nearly being assassinated.

In the 1970s the Kansas attorney general tried to enforce the Kansas no-liquor-by-the-drink law on commercial airliners flying over the state. The current anti-trans state AG may do the same for suspect out-of-state driver's licenses and other documentation discovered in traffic stops on the I-70.

@pbump.com Today's fun astronomy fact: The red color on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is the sunlight from every sunrise and every sunset happening on Earth at that moment.

The Supreme Court just ruled in its tariff decision that there is no national emergency.

So... inflation did not exist in the 1970s. I wish someone had told me at the time.

Secretary Wright was trying to keep his soul from leaving his body.

Trump has entered the negotiation stage of grief.

Tell her warm weather is on the way!

Those jet black eyes were the first clue...

I always suspected that Nancy was possessed by Satan.

Priorities. All transgendered people in Kansas (the State has a list and it's checking it twice) were required to surrender their identity papers no later than yesterday.

Trump didn't want to remove Maduro. Trump wanted to BE Maduro.

@kphipps3000.bsky.social It's a matter of priorities. And common sense.

The state government of Oklahoma is capital C conservative. If THEY are refusing to cooperate on this with the Trump Administration...

Young people might not know this, but President Gerald Ford testified publicly and under oath in October 1974 before the House Judiciary Committee concerning his pardon of Richard Nixon two months earlier.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social The prevailing westerlies in the continental United States moves most weather systems from west to east across the United States. Today here at Empora State Teacher's College it was sunny and 71 degrees. This weather will reach you in a day or two.

Our parents and grandparents must have been really vile-tempered gangsters.

I predict a remake of Warner Brother's Babylon 5 in which Earth Alliance President Clark who imposes martal law and sets himself up as dictator is the hero of the story arc.

It's already too late for the transgendered to leave the State of Kansas for another country. Transgendered residents are currently receiving this letter from the State demanding that they surrender their Real ID and other offending documentation that does not agree with their birth gender.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon.

Also unlike photographing the Gegenschein, photographing the Zodiacal Light actually brings GOOD luck.

I left the social media site formerly known as Twitter after receiving seven death threats there that the new ownership would not block. So far, my account on Blue Sky has been death threat free.

In Kansas transgendered people who have had driver's licenses with a gender designation that does not match that on their birth certificate are having their documentation taken away from them. They are undocumented as of today and subject to arrest if they try to operate a motor vehicle or... vote.

@paulapoundstone.bsky.social Shoebill Stork now in custody.

Greenland and Canada must really want to join a country where health care is an expensive private commodity that the government can still somehow withold for poltical reasons. <satire>

Some Minnesotans will die, but that's a price J D Vance is willing to pay. When will Minnesotans just give up and promise to vote for Republican candidates?

This isn't Musk. Musk wouldn't touch a liquid hydrogen fuel tank with a ten foot pole.

It passes the clean sock test.
