A thread of how to say “nobody asked you” from around the world, starting with this one…

A Lithuanian way of telling someone to mind their own business is ne tavo kiaulės, ne tavo pupos. It means “not your pigs, not your beans.”

Greetings, #Christmas Shoppers! I'm looking for recommendations for books on Ancient Rome for my very precocious and clever 10 year old niece (something that will make it to Boston for Christmas). #history #rome

We tapped our Christmas Beer today - an Irish Red - and it is AMAZING (if I do say so myself).

We made the wort on Nov. 11. It was worth the wait.

It's amazing to me that one man can do this. Well, he can't. He's being empowered by people who are less crazy, but more amoral and craven.
Well, Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, you wanted RFK Jr. to “go wild” at HHS.

Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.

America, I think I may have figured out your problem
BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

An excellent thread for the morning coffee-read...
I have a ~two mile drive every morning (I bike in the summer, but have to make my kid to school the rest of the year). In the space of that two mile drive, if I see fewer than six people driving on the wrong side of the road it is a slow day.
