No question seeing Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia changed my life, esp this line: “We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/t...

Like so many members of our military, serving this country changed my life. The Navy gave me opportunities I wouldn't dream of and taught me lessons I'll never forget. I'm grateful for everything our nation has given me, and I'll always do everything I can to give back to it.

Almost all of the "MAGA" accounts on X have been determined to be located in other countries. Trump literally has to pretend he still has a huge following.

Also: they're starting to stuff it all over Android as well, including the messaging app - why you need fucking AI in your text messages boggles the mind.
