I know Putin is looking at a shrinking population like many developed nations are, and he's doing this to alleviate part of that. But it might be kind of an eugenics program too. I assume he's taking "the best" and doing desirable trait matching finding sperm "donors."

May he not rest in any way, shape, or form for what he's done.

And I really, really need to charge my tablet.

It's looking like 5pm Friday traffic out there in Hormuz. Good thing their "water traffic controllers" are getting paid.

I hope.

LIVE: Trump says he's 'highly unlikely' to renew ceasefire

So business as Trump's usual, then. We're still in danger of being *that* country that starts the final war. It's what Hegseth apparently wants. I hate these motherfucking snakes in the White House.

Happy day to those who partake for fun or medical reasons (like me).

Whale stranded on German coast swims off and gets stuck again The plan was to lift the whale from the seabed using inflatable cushions and transport it with pontoons back to the North Sea or possibly as far as the Atlantic Ocean. #EuropeNews

Nobody tell RFK jr please. He'll probably drag the kids there to cut off the whale's penis "for later study" but probably consumption.

Tehran vows swift response after US Navy seizes Iranian-flagged vessel The US said its naval blockade of Iranian ports will continue despite the ongoing ceasefire, prompting Iran to U-turn on its reopening of the Strait of Hormuz just hours after it declared it open for maritime traffic, and firing at vessels trying to transit.

Not much of a surprise there.

Hope nobody has forgotten that Russia has kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children. Part of Putin's world domination plan. If he ever attacks the US, he'll do the same here.

Erika Kirk Couldn't Escape Trump's Embrace Fast Enough At TPUSA Event And Everyone Noticed - The List Erika Kirk caught a lot of flak for her awkwardly intimate embrace with JD Vance, which may be why she couldn't get away from President Trump fast enough.

Maybe they're reading too much into this but it sure is nice to think so, eh?

Rat poison found in jars of baby food in Austria, police say Police believe the tampering occurred in 190-gram jars of baby food made with carrots and potatoes for five-month-olds.

"Why isn't Iran doing what I tell them to do?"

Live updates: Standoff escalates after Iran closes Strait of Hormuz over US blockade Iran reversed its decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and warned that it would block transit through the strait as long as the U.S. blockades Iranian ports.

Whew, just in the nick of time, so all's fair according to Netanyahu.

Israel says it killed Hezbollah commander just before ceasefire

Iran doubles down on closing the Strait of Hormuz as the ceasefire nears expiration Iran has doubled down on its pledge to restrict ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remains in place.

Iran knows how to play not just political poker, but power blackjack too. Exactly what Trump didn't order up.

Definitely! She's my rescue, has cerebellar hyperplasia which makes her wobble so she doesn't walk much unless we make her. But we bonded way back at the Humane Society shelter and we both know each other's ways now (4 years later).

Iran fully closes Strait of Hormuz over US blockade and fires on ships Iran now says the Strait of Hormuz is fully closed until the end of the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

But THEN ...

As a kid, definitely. As an adult, it's pretty interesting, all the things that Popeye mutters.

And a half!

We'd best not be seeing that "it's in the past now, let's move forward" shit either.

Wow, sorry. Really nice tribute video.
