Farewell Triumph. May we meet again. 🌈🌉. 🥺

During my meeting, Vought said that GAO was wrong in determining he had illegally impounded and said that he had never impounded under the ICA. This is of course absurd, but Vought "believes" the president has the unilateral authority to ignore spending laws and just,,,, refuse to spend the money.

Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, said this to the leader of the Catholic Church after apparent differences in theological application:

“I think it’s very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology.”

Just an incredible amount of hubris.

My take is that we’re so distrusting that probably 8 Gen-Xers answered the phone

4-year-old with Down Syndrome (low muscle tone & constipation) are common for him. I feel your pain. Godspeed. 💩

Wait, so the Evangelical purity culture is now bad according to the news source most evangelicals watch?

Oldest son watching Artemis II splashdown on NASA TV

The last time this happened was 11 months before I was born.

I remember the excitement of watching NASA Shuttle launches growing up.

Watching this with my son brought a lot of that excitement back.

Welcome Artemis crew. #ForAllHumaity

NOAA GOES 18 weather satellite’s Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument detected the atmospheric re-entry of NASA’s Artemis II Orion capsule over the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and southern California just before 23:56 GMT — too cool! #ArtemisII #NASA #NOAA

Trump administration admits a glaring error in its accusations about New York health care fraud President Donald Trump's administration has admitted to a major error in data used to justify a federal fraud probe into New York’s Medicaid program.

Shocked, shocked I tells ya!

“It also reflected a common criticism that’s been made of Trump’s second administration — that it tends to attack first and confirm the facts later.”

Admittedly I still haven’t tried this yet (no bandwidth at the moment). But I’m interested in finding how to get the best of both worlds. But this article (and the term “cognitive surrender”) terrify me (moreso for my kids)

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to Donald Trump regarding the temporary ceasefire:

"Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they then show up with a bucket."

In a sane world, in a world of accountability, the man who incited a deadly insurrection five years ago never would have been able to hold public office again. That reckless, abusive man needs to be removed from office. Now.

What… what is that? Sorry, I live in Colorado and I’ve heard of frozen skywater. Legend says it used to happen here.

Denver Post article: $350 million vision for gondola transit in downtown Denver to be presented People who want to move around downtown Denver could glide in gondola cabins 30 feet above ground if the city were to embrace a businessman’s $350 million plan.

Lyle Lanley from the Simpsons

glides as softly as a cloud, you say? does the businessman look something like this, perchance?

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

Fun fact: I played football (division-III; defensive end) my freshman year at Gannon back in the late 1900s. Go Golden Knights!!

Scott City, KS. Stayed at the Marz Motel when my a/c pulley failed and had to overnight there while getting repair. Literal brothel next door. Walls so thin I could hear the lotion bottle open. 😳

It was right next to Denny’s and Denny’s was a favorite study spot. I was always a little confused by the proximity of the two restaurants.

I fit most of those categories (was coming back from a concert in Laporte, CO). The sketch factor was minimal which is why I feel I missed out. That and the lack of cigarette smoke were missing from my experience.
