Better than having to acknowledge R*n J*hnson in the seat behind me.

The Southwest flight attendant really set the tone for my day when she complimented my Dolly Parton socks.

Mornin’, folks! Who’s up flying to DC? ✈️

I’m always in favor of more diplomacy but also understand never wanting to see JD V*nce again, so.

Ukraine, a country under full scale invasion for 4+ years, is signing deals to co-develop/produce weapons with other countries.

Saudi, UAE and Qatar are not only confident of but also banking on Ukraine being a functional nation state over the next decade.

“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.

I mean, of course that’s what happening. It’s been clear the whole time

Investigators examine whether Ukraine terrorist attack was directed by Russia The gunman, who killed six people in Kyiv before police shot him dead, was a Ukrainian citizen born in Moscow Ukrainian investigators are examining whether a terrorist attack in Kyiv was directed by Moscow after a man shot dead six people on Saturday before he was killed by police.

I’ll be real… i love a mute button

Kinda keep forgetting that I’m spending next week in DC. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Post-Drag Race, watching Mark & Steven both chase down Darlene Mitchell’s husband online reminds me that nothing truer has ever been posted online (derogatory AND complimentary). 🤭

This was so tough! Iconic is such a tough word. But I enjoyed every minute I spent thinking about it.
