As a certified old soldier, I have a complicated relationship with these name changes. I knew where all the bases with the original (Confederate) names were. I had trouble remembering where some of the newly named bases were located, but they seemed like good changes. I had no trouble with Fort

Is anyone going to the One Big Beautiful Parade today? Maybe watching it on streaming? If so, be on the lookout for Herr Feldmarschall von Shitzenpants who has reportedly walked away from his playroom this morning and is wandering aimlessly around Washington.

This is one list I'm glad we haven't made it onto ... yet.

We are screwed. With a billion dollars worth munitions depleted because we used them to bombard rocks and sand in Houthiland, we're now faced with another Middle East conflict that is almost guaranteed to be, as the quote says, a "sustained operation". And why does Whiskey Pete like pink so much?

The thing about social media is that you can very quickly wall yourself off from information you don't want to see. This is like me saying that because I haven't seen any Atlanta Braves clips in over a year, they must not be playing baseball anymore.

Heartwarming: the two dumbest people on the internet are fighting. Why would anyone want to give this up just to come over here and talk like adults?

This is 5he way to do it, folks. And be sure to include the National Guardsmen in the festivities. Give a few of them tacos. Make them feel welcome. Counterintuitive, but it works ... or at least it did during the antiwar demonstrations of the 60s.

Hopefully this goes without saying, but if you're demonstrating, please don't hold their presence against National Guardsmen or other members of the military. They're under orders. They didn’t choose to be where they are and to do what they're doing. Save your ire for ICE, who do have a choice.

Oh no, Iran - the country that makes and sells Shaheed drones that have murdered Ukrainian civilians every night for the last 3+ years - has been attacked. Oh well. The legitimacy of the regime has been based on being the only power able to stand up to Israel. With that image shattered,

Actually, if you follow this logic, Russia belongs to Ukraine. Kyiv was founded in 482 CE. The Principality of Muscovy was started in 1263. Another good example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

I too am comforted by the thought that our president has surrounded himself with such a crack national security team in this time of danger.

I wouldn't either, but to paraphrase the late, unlamented Donald Rumsfeld, you go war with the presidentyou have, not the president you wish you had. God help us all.

It certainly thrilled my friends and me living on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Until the Beach Boys came along, surf music was an instrumental genre characterized by groups like Dick Dale & the Deltones, the Ventures, the Chantays. The Beach Boys changed that irrevocably and we loved it.

The question now is whether this is just Trump blowing hot air (this is my guess) or it signals a shift in the Administration's views on immigration.

The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV - a refugee himself - is mobilizing priests to accompany migrants at immigration court on June 20. This is the kind of leadership Leo is picking.

Imagine being escorted and having the door opened for him, and still being slammed to the ground and handcuffed. Seems like this wasn't a misunderstanding. It was a message that "No one is safe, not even you."

Worth just pointing out the simple reality: Chaos at home and abroad, a slowing economy, the dollar under pressure, higher bond yields, increasing inflation and unemployment less than five months into Donald Trump's second term seems like peak MAGA.

This is exactly what you voted for. He told you exactly what he was going to do. Democrats told you what he was going to do. You didn't listen. It's way too late to start trying to brush aside your complicity.

It's possible still to agree with someone on some things & disagree with them on others. Bluesky isn't going to be an X-killer, but for what I think most users came here for, it's pretty good. I view it as a sort of X for decent people, where trolls & shitposters are rare. I'm satisfied with that.
