I work for county governments and get mad online about soccer.
I've never laughed harder and immediately closed a window.
People are calling my lede here "appalling," "nightmare fuel," "actively evil," and "a desecration of the human spirit"

This Southern propaganda sucks, but it reminds me of good Apple News I neglected to share. WSU Extension was at our conference last week and brought the new Sunflare variety. It’s not available commercially for a couple of years, but it’s magnificent. Yes, it pairs well with Cougar Gold.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

It's just incredibly funny that Hegseth thought he could intimidate a combat veteran jet pilot and space station commander. 😂

Nope. They are taught very clearly that they not only have a right to refuse unlawful orders, but a duty to do so.
Leavitt: "They were suggesting to the 1.3 million active duty service members in the military that if you think an order is illegal, you don't have to follow. That's actually against the uniform code of military justice."

WA is facing an unsustainable legal liability crisis, and so are its counties. Insurance costs are exploding, and that's if coverage can be found. The county risk pool is seeing reinsurers flee our market. All of this is under the Legislature's control. 1/4 open.substack.com/pub/washingt...

It me, living in a special little box.
As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.

We need to amend the constitution to ban Kennedys from holding any elected or appointed office. You gotta be French about this. No Bourbons, no Bonapartes, no Kennedys.
