As I'm sipping a cuppa tea at 04:30, I could choose to watch news of the US attacking another country, or I could watch cartoons....... .......Peter Potamus it is!

1941 is indeed a Christmas movie.

Server at the pub yesterday: See you next year! I know it's corny but it's funny! Me: I remember a while back saying 'see you next millennium!', good times..... Server: I wasn't born then. 🤣🤣🤣

This was breakfast yesterday...and the leftovers are breakfast today. 😁 This is from Third Base Brewery (CR, IA, USA), it's The Tommy (open face turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes), add a couple rashers of bacon and a couple over-easy henfruit. Also a Flying Aces pale ale.

IYKYK (If you don't, be grateful.🫡)

Polls closed a few minutes ago and Democrat Renee Hardman has 73% of the vote in Iowa Senate district 16. Only a few precincts not counted. Republicans will not win back their super majority.

Sometimes, when the crowd is playing crap on the TouchTunes jukebox, I leave them with both America's *and* Captain & Tennille's versions of Muskrat Love. 😁

☠️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Goes so hard

This was an enjoyable watch, with both culinary and cultural foci: youtu.be/-PxtCIMeRMY?...

Pear wedges sauteed in butter & brown sugar, seasoned with mace/black pepper/cloves/allspice/salt, finished with brandy and a lighter. Play With Your Food!™

Seared sea scallops & sauteed spaghetti.....it's what's for breakfast. 😁

Plate of spaghetti, just because. 🙂

Christmas in Leutonia 🎄 youtu.be/I0mwv0rqmso?...

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

A public database of ice, ice agents, DHS, etc. Has now been built and it's entirely outside of the US and US government reach.

Thirty-five years ago right about now I was washing breakfast dishes on KP at Log Base Alpha in Saudi Arabia. KP on Christmas day, the messiest meal of the war.....good times. 🫡🇺🇸

Wandering through a store on Xmess Eve day (my coffee maker gave up the ghost this morning), watching the workers stock.the shelves with Valentine's Day merch. 'Tis the season......

Harvey Wallbanger in memory of my mom, Anne E. Stutler, and a Flying Aces pale ale in memory of me. 😉

Traveling through the US Southwest at the moment, and having gone through a few inspection stations, it seems the common theme of interrogation amounts to "Are you carrying any animals or plants?" What happens if someone says no yet has mushrooms/yeasts/molds? 🤔

Chilli-cheese dogs & mimosas.....it's what's for breakfast. 😁

What Senator Kelly and fellow Dems said is nothing more than what we were taught in the US Army in basic training and at least annually. Our Pentagon is run by corrupt incompetents. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/mar...

In this post by one of the best in the business you'll find Feast of Favorites, a concept that demands capitalization and immediate adoption as a sacred day throughout the land! Excellent idea, @lyz.bsky.social ! What belongs on your table for such a feast?

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Tomato juice with yummy bits, barley juice.....part of a balanced breakfast. 😁

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it. Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators. Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.
