Yes, please.

At what point do we stop pretending this duo in the White House, is acceptable. They are trying to normalize the abnormal. It must stop.

Here's where we are in Arizona 😐

HEY NOW This is indeed a problem with using the vernacular of the times, I am now stuck with using "PDA" instead of "phone" or "tablet" in the Old Man's War series. I can't retcon it, so it keeps showing up. It'll be used in the new book too.

Per @phildstewart.bsky.social: “U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.”

I found this on the internet, so it has to be true...😉🤭🤣😂😂

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!

Just moments ago, I received this message from a female Ukrainian soldier. It made my eyes get damp. Please, every day of your life, post and express support for Ukraine, and nothing but condemnation for Putin. As you can see, our support…matters.

Good morning. So… who else jutted awake for no good reason?

MaryBeth Hastings has devoted her career to human rights, one of the many people in #MD08 who have seen their lives, livelihood and work upended by the attacks on USAID. Thanks MaryBeth for reminding us: foreign aid is critical for democratic solidarity.

For a US government that hates DEI, it's curious that the Secretary of State is Cuban, the FBI director is Indian, the DNI head is Samoan-Indian, and the President is South African.

Vaccines are so effective they have practically eradicated some of the worst diseases, from rabies to polio and smallpox—a fact that has possibly fooled some into believing that the viruses and their complications aren’t a significant threat for the average, health-conscious individual.

Well of course he will try that. The question is whether he has a chance of succeeding, and the someone who knows the PM well might not be the best judge of that.

In a Trampoline Park with 7 little boys to celebrate son‘s Birthday. I thought this place would be my idea of hell. Turns out it is UTTERLY BRILLIANT. You kick the ground as hard as you can (possibly thinking about all that annoys you) &then you fly. So satisfying. I should have done this years ago.

People moaning about those on disability benefit better hope they never get sick or have an accident because they'll be disappointed if they think they're going to get kept in luxury,if you're fit and healthy enjoy life to the full as it could all come crashing down one day and you'll regret moaning

I’m encouraged by these town halls but I also remember very clearly how this happened in 2017 as well. Instead of responding to the complaints, they stopped doing them. www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpo...

He's my first child. He's 8, a cranky old man. But he has recently become protective of our baby, trying to snuggle him when he cries and letting baby pull his hair. People told me having a baby would put our dogs on the back burner but instead it's made me love them more.

You see where this is going ….

Canada wins…

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

We have to act now.

Just disgusting.

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

Canada represents everything the United States will never be, and the United States represents everything Canada will never become.

CQ Brown was one of the most qualified Joint Chiefs ever, so it’s not surprising that the most incompetent administration in history would get rid of him. America is currently led by stupid people, and we see that every day!

Songs from the 1940s fall into two categories: “Kiss me darling for I may die in the wars tomorrow and never see you again” And “He’s the Booble Bubble Boy on the Boat From the Blue! Woo woo be doo! Booble Bubble Boy!”

And let me be very clear. ANY DEAL taking rare minerals from Ukraine is the same as FUCKING INVADING THEM. ITS THEIR LAND. NOT ANYONE ELSES.

Me (pretty sure i'm right): Well I could be wrong here but Guy I'm arguing with (never been right in his life): Listen up and maybe you'll learn something you idiot child,
