I agree with this!

Though due to recent rearrangement of living room, I can't get a reliable signal of our local Fox affiliate with our antenna.

If my younger brother lived closer, I'd order him to stand behind the antenna, and tweak its position at my request.

A curious thing that this heist occurred soon after a fabulist former US representative was released from prison.

The Amazon Web Services outage is a reminder that we have too many eggs in too few baskets.

So recent headlines include:

"George Santos Released From Prison"

"Priceless Jewels Stolen From Louvre"

Coincidence?

Thanks for sharing.

My (then future) wife and I made our first (brief) trip to Acadia 30 years ago, at this time of year.

We've been back several times since, including for our wedding. It's so great there in spring, summer and fall. I gotta try a winter trip one of these years.

An unexpected guest showed up at the Grand Rapids, Mi #NoKings rally. He looks trashed.

(I don't know the artist, but would gladly give credit).

The lid is painted to resemble blond hair.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.
