Remembering Danny Ongais, aka ‘On-gas’ or ‘the flyin’ Hawaiian’, born #OnThisDay in ’42, who won 6 #IndyCar (#ChampCar) races, started 4 #F1 GPs, & was the possessor of a simple but mega helmet design. Here’s the lid he wore for his last #Indy500, the ’96 race. He died in 2022.

@indycar.com I love seeing Tim Cindric on TV with his hand in the cookie jar.

It's sad that we live in a world where we need to showcase works like The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank at the front of a Barnes & Noble as a banned book. Frankly each and every...single...one...of these books should be read by everyone. Thank you @barnesandnoble.com for doing this.

Brad Schimel asked whether the Supreme Court made the right decision in turning down Trump's attempt to disqualify hundreds of thousands of ballots and overturn the 2020 election. His answer: "I don't know."

@repgwenmoore.bsky.social you're not doing enough. Resign.

Most Mainstream media is following along also.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I think this was my favorite photo from Vermont this weekend.

What did everyone think of Fox Sports coverage of #indycar today? - I thought the camerawork was terrible.

Shameless plug: my YouTube channel has a lot of content that might be helpful to your mental health. No one else is plugging it, so I have to say something, lol. youtube.com/@chrisshelto...

Mike Luckovich gets it right as he always does

The @nytimes.com should hire whoever wrote this headline. Seriously!

My son -in-law texted me this incredible photo from his neighbor. So far, their house is 50 yards from the massive fire face threatening Westridge end of Madeville.

Going forward, every headline about Trump, or the incoming Trump administration needs to written like this.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries tells journalists that they need to contact the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson to find out why a law requiring a plaque to be installed honoring the police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has not been installed.

CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA!

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

One week apart

"157 Election Deniers Remain in Congress Four Years After Jan. 6 Insurrection" Zeteo's @premthakker.bsky.social on how Brazil and South Korea learned lessons and implemented accountability after their attempted coups. But the U.S. didn't. And we're still paying for that 4 years later. Read/share:

Helio to the 500? HELIO TO THE 500! (I might actually watch a NASCAR race this year...)

If you try to steal a loaf of bread, and hurt no one in the process, America will throw you in prison. If you try to steal an election, and hurt lots of people in the process, America with throw you a party, give you its most prestigious job, and millions of dollars to squander on your vulgarity.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Try to make it through life without ever been hated as much as Rudy Giuliani is by a courtroom sketch artist.

I didn’t know it came in medical grade!

Can I get an amen ?
