It’s important to remember when I share opinions and thoughts on politics and the military, it is with the expertise of a trombone player in the National Guard. And I read a book by Doris Kearns Goodwin.

a deed so simple as mounting the @j6plaque.bsky.social in a prominent place to honor and show solidarity with Capitol police and law enforcement in the halls of Congress has yet to happen - as always, his words stand out as hollow

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders.

Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.
In Memory of MELISSA HORTMAN Former Minnesota House Speaker 1970 - 2025 Taken far too soon in a targeted attack. A voice for justice, clean energy, and equality. We honor her legacy, leadership, and courage. #RestInPower

This seems hopeful. I wish we would have seen something like this at the White House.

So… how about them Mariners?

And while I’m wishcasting, what about a safe bike route to Scottsville?

That’s a good point. It would also benefit CHO employees. The fact that there isn’t better connection across 29 at Forest Lakes/Hollymead is very frustrating. I very much looking forward to Three Notch’d Trail and hope it happens.

The airport thing would be great, and they’re almost there, but a safe route to Crozet or Zion Crossroads would be better IMO

It should be an easy choice. And they should be united in opposition.

How do I get paid? And I thought creating expense reports for work was tedious and opaque!

The amount of people treating Trump like he had a chance of winning a Nobel Peace Prize is exasperating. It would be like awarding a broken clock for being correct twice daily and within 12 hours the rest of the time.

Reading that made me feel slightly less crazy. Campaigning for a Nobel Prize should be automatically disqualifying.

I’m no fan of AI slop, but I might watch a machine generated video of the Lee Greenwood halftime show.

Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.
