Hell, every lawyer who signed off on this in "Justice" and WH Counsel's office should be disbarred.

Anyone ever had ostrich? Taste like 🍗?

This is pretty good, but the first LP was such a revelation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Leax...

Ha! That's pretty good.

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

At the local Dairy Bar for a milk shake and some food. Can't be beat!

Just the kind of show runner corp speak that makes me want to run for the hills.

I’m delighted to say that I’ve just signed a contract with @hurstpublishers.bsky.social to write ‘The Church’s Youngest Daughter’, which will be a complete history of Christianity in Lithuania ✝️ 🇱🇹 drfrancisyoung.com/2026/05/14/c...

"So a nondenial denial, right?"

Not up on Fed Pardon law. Don't know if a person can be released from all Fed crimes up to a certain date. But receiving illegal monies should expose them. And there are state RICO laws. This is just a deep muddy hole that lawyers and Congress will explore.

🧵 Guitar Stuff- 1/Rescued my Sunn Scepter amp. due to illness and death, shop had it for yrs, then closed and someone bought stock/parts. Only started on mine, then quit. New guy has spent last yrs or so giving back amps to people left. Nice guy running shop as retirement hobby.

There are maps showing Flock camera locations. Even in rural areas, you aren't immune. I've found them by WalMart and Lowes parking lots not highway intersection. Why WalMart? Security?

that this was always where it was headed doesn’t make it any less scary now that it’s here

Higher in western Va and in WV. Also higher along Interstate. $5 buck gas is close. What will it do politically? Will RW media have enough juice to fulfill its role of excusing & justifying every bonehead GOP action? Will, "Its the Democrat's fault." Still work?

Trump isn't going into the Treasury & leaving with a truck load of bills. There is a whole infrastructure transferring money and if the letter of the law isn't followed *exactly* everyone in that chain of events is liable for prosecution. And they should be. Crime runs rampant without consequences.

If course it’s on Republicans, but anyone who skipped voting or voted 3rd party in 2024 when we all screamed about what was at stake are also culpable.

What is the practical difference between a Trump Cult and a voting electorate propagandized for 40+ yrs and convinced that a lying, thieving, adulterous conman, convicted sexual assaulter and likely child rapist is preferable over a Democrat? Are other structural issues but this is where we are at.

Black, oily goo drove this Oklahoma family from their dream home. @propublica.org & @readfrontier.bsky.social show you what happened next. AND coming soon: A film featuring the Merediths & other Oklahomans living with the environmental impacts of oil & gas pollution. Screening in Tulsa May 20.

A seated figure, 250–600 CE, Becán, Campeche. Removing the lid one sees multiple tiny figurines and medallions made with molds attached to the walls. These elements represent deities, ancestors, or jade beads. Although discovered in Maya territory, the concept is from the Teotihuacan culture.

🧵 1/In the coming years there will be an effort to label some as "Good Republicans" vs "Bad or MAGA Republicans". If a Republican refuses to acknowledge election results, he is not Good. If he continues to vote for tax cuts, he is not Good.

Appreciating Irish cooking. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq9N...

Lord, reliving my youth. This is it exactly. Loose the side steps, they go first time off roading. Also no front winch. Now imagine a bunch of high school kids riding around at night after beer drinking.

Briefly had a Commando, had too many issues, so got rid of. Dad knew a crotchety old man who had the CJ with a steel top. I paid 1/2 he paid 1/2. Top was too heavy, several 100 lb. Put on the canvas and much better. Also easy to let down and ride around in HS with people hanging off the roll bar.

Lunch at the famous Cams Ham in Huntington. Shaved ham sandwich, house made rings, drink. Been a while but still good.

fossil fuel industies/industrialists/investors are clinging to it being dominant just like the GOP confederates are clinging to white male supremacy

People keep touting this, and it will work as long as your state votes with the majority. If it doesn't and *still* assigns its Electoral Votes against the will of its citizens, then will be thrown out in court as it will little better than a dictatorship. Everyone hopes this never happens, but ...

I have some problems with modern blues (or at least the ones I hear) but will gladly repost. Thanks!

I want to know if contractors who tore down the building got proper permits from the proper park service organization, not on the word of a WH staffer. If they didn't they need to be prosecuted and grilled in front of Congressional Committees. Illegal things don't happen if there are consequences.

Dinner tonight. Was gifted some ribeyes and cooked one up on a grill pan, baked potato, fried squash & onions. Humk o cow and veggies. Hummmhmm good. Any more "Murican" and I'd be out in the yard firing my .45 into the trees with a whiskey bottle at my feet. But I'm not.

Beautiful. Always wanted one, with a Florentine cutaway. And in perfect finish.

This has been obvious since 2015. Question is why? The Ochs-Sulzberger family has -Financial interest in seeing Trump/GOP politically prosper. Trust & its elements keeps growing, enriching family. -It is protecting Trump as it knows him (and perhaps Epstein) socially & perhaps he knows secrets

Of course, we all know state regulatory agencies are immune from local pressure to allow lowered standards for "economic" benefit. Heavy metals from surface mining run off, coal ash, polluted water wells.... All present do to lax or lessened enforcement.

Was gifted one of these Zero Gravity Porch lounger last year. Very comfortable for cigar smoking, beer drinking, Internet cruising. Especially warm weather. Well the Kid has decided she enjoys porch sitting and is trying to take it over. Told her to buy her own damn one. That's mine. 😁

Saw one yesterday painted flat black. Not sure if after market or from factory. Looked 1% less ridiculous.

Neese's Sausage is good. Well made. Flavorful. It has been a tradition in general region for decades. Inspectors found fault and then can't be re-examined due to lack of inspectors? Story is confusing but looks like may go under. www.wral.com/news/local/n...

🧵 1/ Re:Bluesky vs Twt debate. Some posts about how large engagement # of Twt vs BK. How "liberals" have locked themselves in a closet and hurt efforts to change opinions on Twt. I got news, Twt isn't an arena where scholars debate. No one is convinced by your 4 point argument.
