I honestly believe shows like The Jerry Springer Show, and others of its kind, were a clear marker for the decline of American discourse, and our current situation. They were the first to normalize and celebrate poor, outrageous, and often violent behavior in exchange for a few minutes of fame.

Yet here we are, 50 years later, still cranking #KISS up to 11. Thanks for everything, Starman #AceFrehley. You'll be missed.

Life’s just a giant Etch A Sketch — twist the knobs, make your marks, and when things get messy… shake it off and start again. #etchasketch #lifelessons

Nothing says classy like sake in a box. "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking." Give us a Like if you know where that quote is from.

Paid respects to #BruceLee in #Seattle. I trained hard last year to match his height/weight ratio, adding 12 lbs of muscle. Met Brandon’s college roommate, and later a man who once dined at the same time as Bruce & Hendrix at Bruce's fave restaurant. That sort of thing happens to me all the time.

We might not always look this effortlessly chic, yet a partner who makes me feel this happy and supported is the real picture-perfect part of my life. It's not the pose; it's the person you're standing next to through it all. Grateful for everyday moments that are even better than a staged 4x6.

Bad Bunny is American. Born in Puerto Rico, bigger than anyone right now. Folks whine he sings in Spanish but so did Shakira & J.Lo at the Super Bowl. #BadBunny was also a performer there that day. Melania's a citizen thanks to her 'exceptional talents,' whatever those are/were. I bet #Epstein knew.

I’ll take awkward spacing over “alternative facts” any day. Grammar crimes are forgivable; rewriting history isn’t. #HistoryMatters #AlternativeFacts #GrammarPolice #TruthOverMyths #MuseumFinds #ColumbusDay #IndigenousHistory #KeepItReal

The mindset of The Servant implies that the role of a leader is simply to serve others.⁠ ⁠Yet, you cannot help others if you aren't taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. ⁠ That starts with putting on your own oxygen mask first. ⁠

You’ve always been entertained by drag in movies, music, comedy and more. If it didn’t hurt you then, it won’t hurt you now. Let people shine. 🌈👑 "Don't be a drag, be a Queen." #DragIsArt #Pride #LoveIsLove #LGBTQ+

Trump Tower Vancouver: closed. U.S. Government: shut down. Seems the man’s legacy is failure stacked on failure. At this point, his true art form isn’t ‘the deal,' it’s turning everything he touches into a going-out-of-business sale. #Trump #Vancouver #Canada

I love supporting local spots that welcome everyone. 🌈 Henry Earl Estates in Walla Walla shows it proudly: wine, warmth, and zero barriers. 🍷 #InclusiveSpaces #LGBTQFriendly #WallaWallaWine

Most of what we see online is the highlight reel. If you really want to know me, it means seeing the victories and the failures, the highs and the lows. That’s why I posted from the ER. The lows and the setbacks are just as real as the highlight reel.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Fainted. Blood pressure 77/52. Erratic heart rate. Chest pain. 9+/10 pain. Possible concussion. Probable dehydration. Possible OD. EKG. X-rays. 7 vials of blood. But I’ve never measured my life with coffee spoons - and I won’t start now. "Like tomorrow was a gift ... What would I do with it?"

My doctor ordered me to check my blood pressure daily… and specifically said NOT while or after watching the news. 🤦‍♂️ So tell me — are you protecting your sanity or staying glued to the chaos? #NewsDetox #BloodPressureRising

Last night’s #Emmys gave us another reminder that #cannabis doesn’t have to be a barrier to achievement. #SethRogen has said plainly: “I smoke weed daily for the past 20 years and I have been pretty productive in that time.” Point is: do what works for you. (Photo: Asharq Al-Awsat News) #420

🚂✨ Conductor for a day! Got to run the mighty Lilliput Northern #3, proof that big smiles come in small packages. Next stop: Adventure, laughter, and maybe a snack car (because priorities). #AllAboard #MiniTrain #TrainRide #TrainLife #ModelRailway #TinyButMighty #WhistleBlowingFun #TrainTravel

Exploring #Seattle's famous #GumWall near #PikePlaceMarket. It started in the '90s when theatergoers left their gum, and after failed cleanup attempts, it became a quirky landmark. A piece of living #art! Did I add my own piece? Swipe to the last snap to find out. #Travel #UniqueDestinations

There will always be hard days, but there will always be good ones too. So keep your face to the sun and hold onto the glimmers of hope when days are tough, knowing that joy will return again. 🫶🏻 #StarfishClub

Look who I ran into at #NorthwestPaganFest! My sister from another mister. 🖤 Celebrating the #diversity within the #Pagan community, so misunderstood, especially by so-called Christians, events like this are so important for fostering understanding. #SpokaneDoesntSuck

Even in Legoland, some things are just universal. In this little slice of a New York street, I'm pretty sure I heard the delivery guy say to the garbage truck driver, "Hey, I'm drivin' here!" And the garbage guy said, "Fuggetaboutit!"

Nothing like a box telling me how to live my life. “No knives,” it says. Fine, bare hands it is. Hope you like chaos, cardboard.

Today, I noticed this simple sign in a local bakery. Gratitude has a way of shifting everything. It doesn’t mean life is perfect, but it helps us see the beauty in what’s already here that we often overlook. Your life is already filled with more goodness than you realize. 💛

As an urban farmer, I know the joy of harvesting fresh produce. It is my superpower. A bowl of ripe, vibrant tomatoes, packed with nutrients, is my Kryptonite. The perfect snack; satisfying, flavorful, and good for you. What's your favorite garden-fresh snack? Share your thoughts in the comments!

This couple on Fremont Street in #LasVegas is wearing matching shirts that say "Together" and "Since 1946." Think about the memories they've made over all those years. So heartwarming and an amazing reminder of what a long-lasting friendship looks like.

Every choice you make today is shaping your tomorrow. The little steps you take daily add up to the big wins. Stay focused. Stay consistent. Stay unstoppable. 🚀 #Motivation #KeepPushing #FitOver50 #WellnessJourney #MindsetMatters #StrongerEveryDay #NeverTooLate

I just unearthed a relic from a bygone era: a 512MB SD card. That's right, a half a gigabyte of pure, unadulterated storage. I'm pretty sure I could fit, like, three maybe four high-quality JPEGs on this thing. Honestly, at this point, I think I'll just use it as a coaster.

I grew a thing! My zucchini’s been hitting the gym. 🥒💪 1 lb 11.3 oz of garden pride. Sunflowers = hype crew. 🌻 #GardenGoals #ZucchiniSeason #HomeGrown #VeggieVictory #SunflowerSquad #SpokaneDoesntSuck

My income streams are flowing, and look what just floated in! 💸 Got a sweet little payout from Nielsen today! Every bit counts when you're building your empire and financial future. #StreamsOfIncome #SideHustle #Nielsen #FinancialFreedom #MoneyMoves #LittleWins

Sometimes the path looks rusty, weathered, and uncertain. The road less traveled isn’t about comfort; it’s about courage. #KeepMovingForward with your head high, and your heart set on greatness waiting just beyond the bridge. #RoadLessTraveled #ChasingGreatness #FearlessJourney #SpokaneDoesntSuck

Found this connect-the-dots puzzle in a 1927 newspaper from Spokane. I snapped a pic and finished it using Paint... but I still have no clue what it’s supposed to be. 🤔 Any guesses? #VintagePuzzles #1920s #ConnectTheDots #NewspaperFind #SpokaneHistory #Puzzled #MysteryDrawing #RetroGames

I pulled a carrot out of my garden. I wasn’t planning to share, but if White House social media and Trump post a scorecard with “69” highlighted like a 15-year-old boy... Leaders are supposed to lead by example. #LeadershipMatters #GrowUp #VeteransForDecency #WhiteHouseOrFratHouse

Nothing says “enjoy your fudgy indulgence” like a bathroom scale giving the stink-eye right in the brownie aisle. Thanks, random shopper. I really needed a reminder of my poor decisions before making another one. 🙄🍫⚖️ #ScaleOfJudgment #BrownieAmbush #LetMeEatInPeace #LetMeLive #FitOver50 #CheatDay

Just canceled my #Paramount+ subscription. $13/month I’ll gladly put toward something that doesn’t insult my intelligence or cave to political pressure. #CancelParamountPlus #SupportRealVoices #ColbertDeservedBetter #CBS @cbstvstudios.bsky.social #stephencolbert

If you know, you know. 🦄 Don't ever let anyone tell you something can't be done, whether it's perfectly emptying an RV tank or achieving a dream that seems out of reach. You're capable of more than you know! #RVLife #UnicornMoment #Inspiration #Motivation #NeverGiveUp #DreamsComeTrue #Roadtrek

Work harder and smarter! I’ve always preferred “and” over “or." Why not have the best of both worlds? 💪 Hard work builds strength, smart work builds success. Together, they’re unstoppable! #WorkHarderAndSmarter #CuteMotivation #KawaiiGoals #PositiveVibes #TeamAndNotOr

True strength lies in our ability to support and empower one another, regardless of race, gender, or any other differences. When we focus on building each other up, we create a stronger community for everyone. #StrengthInUnity #SupportEachOther #LiftUpNotPutDown #CommunityLove #Inclusion #WeAreOne

It is a pleasure to inform you that I have recently been named the Local Business Person of the Year for 2025.

Ran into " #Ozzy Osbourne " at the #Rainbow Grill years ago. If not for #OzzyOsbourne, there may be no me as you know me. The #PrinceOfDarkness, the original Madman, introduced me to hard rock music and I've never looked back. "You can't kill rock and roll, it's here to stay." #DiaryOfAMadman

We built a 160 sq ft organic, no-till #garden, a modern take on the old #VictoryGarden from the 1940s. Thinking of calling it the Freedom from Tariffs Garden. Because when you grow your own food, nobody can tax your tomatoes. 🌱☀️ #VictoryGardenRevival #GrowYourOwn #FreedomFromTariffs #OrganicLife

Who knew this Army vet would fall head over boots for no-till, organic gardening? 🌱 Growing your own food? That’s a real superpower. 💪 🌞🍅 #UrbanFarmer #VeteranGardener #GrowYourOwnFood #OrganicLiving #RaisedBedGarden #FoodIsFreedom #NoChemicals #GardeningLife #CityBoyGoneCountry #VeteransWhoFarm

No pesticides, no chemicals, no tariffs. Just good old-fashioned #SpokaneValley water and dirt. Growing your own food isn’t just satisfying, it’s a superpower. The power to feed yourself and your family. #Homegrown #OrganicFarming #GrowYourOwn #FoodSecurity #SpokaneDoesntSuck #SustainableLiving

Saw this at a gallery. "Love Story I" by Tony Kelly is a wild mix of Star Wars and high fashion. Absurd, bold, and oddly romantic. Sometimes connection doesn’t make sense at first. Galaxies apart, yet still at the same table. Just trying to find balance in contrast in a crazy, mixed-up world.

When your "No Soliciting" sign can't make up its mind... First, it’s like: "PLEASE solicit. Thank you!” Then it’s like: “Please, NO soliciting.” Maybe the doorbell is just trying to keep things interesting. 😂 #DoorbellDrama #SolicitingConfusion #HomeSecurityHumor #RingCamRealness #MixedSignals

What do you think about my office view? To find a quiet, beautiful spot like this to get things done is a true luxury, with the only interruptions coming from the geese and ducks on the pond. #officeanywhere #lifeontheroad #workwithaview #outdooroffice #digitalnomad #remotework #solopreneur

RIP David Kaff, (right) beloved as Viv Savage in Spinal Tap. His iconic "Have a good time, all the time" lives on in rock mockumentary history. A true legend of laughs and keys. 🎹🖤 #DavidKaff #SpinalTap #VivSavage #RIP #ComedyLegend #ThisIsSpinalTap #TheseGoTo11

Let me tell you, when I get a genuine compliment or some words of encouragement from another man, it hits different. It’s powerful. It fuels me. Men - don’t be afraid to open up, to say something kind, to back someone’s goal or passion. Be the reason another man keeps going.
