Green chile cheese fries would be my New Mexico downfall. And green chile potato breakfast burritos from a sketchy looking cooler on the back of a pickup.
A bald eagle dropped its breakfast on the sidewalk in front of me. Does that mean it likes me?
There was a faint puff of smoke from the bottle, and a small genie appeared.
"You have freed me," it said, "so I'm obliged to grant you a wish."
It hesitated. "But I am not very powerful."
I nodded. "Of all things I need, give me the greatest you can."
Suddenly, I held a large mug of hot cocoa.
I watch live but tears fall out of my face until they're in orbit and I can't stop them.
Pinocchio. That book was terrifying for under ten me and I never finished it.
It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened.
And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.
“I’m coming in too fast!”
Folks, here's the deal. I'm a progressive Democrat trying to flip a Congressional seat held by August Pfluger, who is anti-choice, pro-war and desperately wants to make it harder for Americans to vote. Also he's rich AF. Please consider chipping in to help me win: www.clairereynoldsforcongress.org
Second these! They were so fun to read and I like the alternate history feel of them.
He did however point out that the bar we drove by all the time was a gay bar and I'll always remember him thankfully for that because it taught me how sheltered I was that I didn't get that "The Nutbush" probably wasn't for the straights.
I don't remember his name because everyone just called him The Italian Stallion because of his thick accent and tank like build.
If you drive through Kansas you see so many small towns with a "home of astronaut..." sign as you arrive. People really took pride in their hometown space heros. You could come from literally anywhere and go to SPACE!
I have the same thing but added a wicked headache just the second day. No other symptoms. Basically fine during the day. Third day I had a mild fever by the end of the day but woke up fine. I'm sure I've got something but it's a weird one.
another year of us not running a super bowl ad
Looks like a turkey vulture at a glance. That lighter pattern on the bottom and the wings that remind me of finger tips are very turkey vulture.

My own experience, which is not inconsiderable, allows me to put out Captain Dan's Tear Gas Laundry guidelines.

A small thread 🧵
Weather trauma is real
With littles the children's museum on a rainy day or Tolmie State Park for some tidal flats time if the weather is reasonable. Tumwater falls is an easy walk from a parking lot. Percival Landing has a big playground and public restrooms.
Look for the helpers
The term "nerve agent" is not the same thing as "some chemical that has some effect on some aspect of the nervous system" nor is it a blanket term for chemical warfare agents or banned chemical weapons.
Shrodinger's bag: every bag is both empty and full until you accidentally kick it and then it has a cat in it.
the whole point of being an american is eating food from every country on earth with people from that country and partying with them. that's the thing we're best at and it's fun as hell and i can't believe these dickheads are trying to fuck things up for us
Is there a use for candied citrus peel aside from eating it straight? I've never gotten it in the cookie exchange before this year and I'm trying to like it plain but it's not working.
As a fan of the Chicago art institute doll house exhibit I cannot discourage you so I guess I shouldn't say anything at all.
I can't even doomscroll. The doom is too doomy today.
I'm missing nine states all of them at an edge.
