Two things I’ve learned this weekend:
1) No one can stop you from putting Redi-whip in your coffee.
2) Apple cider is a great mixer with tequila. (Add lime juice, Cointreau, and a drop of maple syrup for a fancy cider margarita.)

My son had an amazing experience in Scouts and still gets together with his patrolmates, who are all working towards great futures. Hegseth is so full of shit in just so many ways.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

If people can no longer get in trouble for intimidating others with these symbols, we need to completely ostracize anyone who tries. Make the social cost as steep as possible.

There’s not going to be a mass exodus from New York but, even if there were, people wouldn’t generally be going to Louisiana. In 2023, more than twice as many New Yorkers moved to *Alaska* as Louisiana. www.pbump.net/o/americans-...
