Years ago, when I told my boss that I was leaving the rat race to go back to school to become a teacher, he said, "You're not gonna make any money." He was right. But so was my wife when she said, "Let's get you the job you've always wanted."

Snowfall so far with more to come ❄️

Tonight's December Moon. 🔭

A year ago Donald Trump won all seven swing states by just enough votes to avoid automatic recounts in each of them—all seven—but still garnered less than 50% of the national popular vote 🤔

Goodnight, friends. Read Carl Sagan, et al.

It's dangerous to go alone... take this

Making war on your neighbors is so 1938

Comin in hot 🔥

The ostensible pax Americana—established during the Cold War—is officially over the moment we attack another country in the western hemisphere—yet another long-term goal of Moscow, achieved by the Trump administration

Saturday on the couch under blankets, a little snow outside, bellies full of leftovers, and this guy 😊

So I’m guessing the Democrats who made that “don’t follow illegal orders” video had inside information on the Hegseth ordered illegal strike by Seal Team 6 on those shipwrecked sailors

He’s starting a war so that he can invoke the insurrection act and grab more power

There’s gonna be a helluva reckoning when this is all over

So I guess next we can expect the Supreme Court to legalize murdering shipwreck survivors

Both of the wars started by US presidents here in the Americas so far—the Mexican American war and the Spanish American war—were directly motivated by that president’s expansionist ambitions, and Trump’s coming war with Venezuela is no different

Winter storm warning for today here in Midwest USA and woke up to some snow already falling ❄️

Look if you’re illegally bombing fishermen in the Caribbean and it turns out there are a couple survivors—you’re obviously gonna finish them off so they don’t talk, but you see the guy who pulls the trigger still might

The lady in this photo used to drive her car across the Detroit River ON THE ICE to bring beer and wine back from Canada during Prohibition—yup, she was a bootlegger, but we just called her grandma

I miss having a president who is a uniter-in-chief at times like these—even George W. Bush could do that much

The US Army National Guard should not be deployed as a long-term occupying force in American cities

The cultural landscape of the Anthropocene

Picking up the boy from college! 🦃

It’s just so ironic that the people like my uncle who should be the coldest of cold warriors—and who are calling me a communist—are the ones who want to abandon Europe to the Russians

I’m shocked anew every single day that we took the absolute worst people and then put them in charge of exactly everything

We felt cute but might delete later obv

Monday night of Thanksgiving break is for the adventures of this guy

Sun dog 🐶🌅
