You guys! This is important! Hawaii doesn't know that the "American Mall" is a failed business model. We're killing some time before our flight at a mall and this place is thriving. All the storefronts are full and lots of shoppers. And it isn't tourists. It's the 80s but better hairstyles

We have been staying on the North Shore of Oahu. As such we've driven past BYU-Hawaii town. I was lamenting not applying when I was 18. But today, after a week in Hawaii, I know I would have failed out my 1st semester for never attending class. I dont want to go home tomorrow.

We were at the beach looking at the pieces of coral that had washed ashore and my son philosophizes: Is coral the dumbest animal? Or the smartest rock?

Just touched down in Honolulu. Let the relaxation begin.

One of my sons got a seat in the middle of the plane. The rest of us got put waaaaaay in the back. I got up to go see him, he has the whole row to himself. I'm spending the last hour of the flight with him. Give everyone a little more room. He could have mentioned it after takeoff.

If prices are way down why does my wallet keep slapping my hand away from items at the grocery story?

I have checked into my flight for tomorrow. If all goes well, I'll be dipping my toes in the ocean in 24 hours. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. I am also taking my ungrateful family that all feel a little too reluctant to be going on this trip with me.

Vance should be licking Thiel's boots in gratitude. Since we're talking about that.

a) I accept that deal b) his mugshot should go on the 3 dollar bill

Maybe its time to look into if I qualify for German citizenship. My grandmother was German, is that enough?

You know, President Wilson was a terrible president. But at least his administration had the good sense to button everything up and keep his mental and physical decline out of the public eye, both foreign and domestic. With Trump we all get to share in the horror show. It isn't fun and I hate it.

We went to the moon, multiple times, on the computing power of a slide rule. Maybe he's just not that smart.

Holy. Shit.

Does this job come with a cape? I know it comes with a mask, but if there isn't a cape I'm not interested. Also, do I get any comic book royalties or does Trump keep those?

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Lets be clear, Hegseth doesn't want soldiers. He wants Stormtroopers. Clones designed for killing that don't ask questions that he can push through the meat grinder with a constant resupply being produced in the background.

Ah yes, when "Liberation Day " translates to "The Horrors of War" No one in their right mind wants to kill people. Even people who have made a career of the military. Kill people and break things. Sounds like Techbro Mind Virus.

Dude's a psychopath. All he ever wanted was to kill people in the most heinous ways possible.

I want this to be real only because the "president" sounds so coherent, making the announcement. No slurring, no "weaving," no mispronunciation. I dont even care about the technology. I just want a competent president. Ahh, a girl can dream..

We had a friend in our ward in Colorado Springs who is now a 2 Star in the Space Force. I'm FB friends with his wife. I so badly want to ask her his take on this big meeting next week in VA. But I don't feel I have quite a close enough relationship to. I think he will do the right thing, though

If there is one thing I am sure of, I will never call it the Department of fucking War. Jesus Christ, Go. To. Therapy. already.

"Sit at the Bar September" ??? There are 4 days left. You couldn't have told us about this sooner? How am I going to have a boyfriend for the Holidays, now?

Dear Parents, Do what you want, but FYI, there are not enough liver organ donors to just FAFO with Hepatitis. There are enough unpreventable diseases out there that can affect your kids. Please prevent what you can. Signed, Parent of a 23 yo liver recipient due to Autoimmune Hepatitis

My youngest called me today. The first words out of his mouth were "I'm fine! I'm fine!" In mom-speak that usually means nothing is fine. It wasn't. He had his first car accident and was doing his best to adult through it but came up against our insurance company. It's sorted. But I'm not.

I polled my 3 boys this week, ages 27, 24, 20. They all went to Uni in Utah. The oldest 2, now graduated, know of Charlie but dont hold a strong opinion one way or the other. He was just noise for them. My youngest, still attending, doesn't like him at all. He's also my most liberal thinking.

In case you were wondering how SpaceX stays profitable.

Still no regrets never installing TikTok.

I lowered my flag when the 2 local cops were killed 2 weeks ago and for the kids murdered at mass and most other times I'm asked to. Asked, because as a private citizen, no one can order it of me. That my flag isn't lowered now is a statement in itself. And that's all I have to say about that.

I feel like he may have misplaced the decimal on that little factoid. Easy mistake.

I went to NOLA this weekend. Last night I stepped off a curb and face planted onto the sidewalk. Scraped up my knee. For context, this was about 20 steps off of Bourbon Street. Should I get a tetanus shot? My last one was 9 years ago. Husband cleaned my wound w/ vodka b/c that's what we had.

Thank goodness our legislature worked tirelessly this year to make our public universities safe by...checks notes...allowing people to carry guns on campus Hmmmm. I wonder if this could have been prevented.

UVU was not the campus I was expecting to be the epicenter of today's big story.

I stupidly suggested a t shirt quilt as an incentive for my son to de clutter his collection. Then I remembered how much I hate sewing t shirt material. Anyway, here's to top. Mostly. It needs some patchwork along the bottom

Do the 3 Rules of Robotics apply to AI? Or is the new Wild, Wild West where there are no rules and people are going to die as we race to settle the new frontier?

I found my Husband's Doctoral dissertation and 2 of his undergrad papers with just a quick look. I guess they owe everyone listed in the papers, too?

So, is this a revolt or a revolution? Are the ones doing this ready to lead and rebuild their country?

Maybe he should invite the troops into his state and show everyone how it's done. What's that? This isn't really about crime?

Oh JD, this isn't how you fast track your Presidency.

NASA hates losing astronauts. Unless it's in the service of beating China to the moon, then, full steam ahead.

This administration is utterly insane. That said, Chipocalypse Now sounds like a really great party dish.

HaHaHaHaHaaaaaaaa Did they hire a graphic designer that hates them and is working for the "woke underground?"

If Trump was an informant, it was because the FBI honeypotted him and he spilled the beans.

I should not have opened Bluesky. I read the news and now I'm despondent and angry. I'm dengry. Someone please direct me to the happy internet. I'm going to go purchase a powerball ticket.

When the NRA is the voice of reason. Careful MAGATS, You dont want to lose that donor. They have the ear of most of your base.

This really is just "shit on the military day" isn't it. I hate what this administration has done and will continue to do in the name of the United States. Just ruining it for everybody.

Fucking asshole.

That general looks so very uncomfortable about what the DUI hire is spewing.

This isn't just not legal, it's actually very, very dumb. Can you imagine how many man hours is would take just to rename every. single. DoD document to DoW. I thought he was selling himself as the money saving President. I know, I know...

He closed the door to Trump, so, not EVERY human trafficker. And really? Cruz thinks Pritzker is eating pizza from Domino's? His insults aren't even clever.

Someone put their service dog's obituary in the newspaper, and I think that's the most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time.
