I finally looked up the person to whom this Tombstone belonged, the one that gave me pause when I visited the American cemetery in Normandy last summer when I saw the state I grew up in, Michigan, listed on it.
Kenneth E Bleasdell, of Ann Arbor, MI, was one of 3 brothers who died fighting in WW2.

On this anniversary of D-Day, I'm thinking again about my visit to Normandy last year.
I believe even more firmly that every American should, if able, make at least one summer pilgrimage there.
Also, several decades into this journey, I finally understand the transformative power of pilgrimages.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

More supply of housing better MEETS demand, which lowers prices.
Yes this bothers people who have their generational wealth tied up in housing stock who see their wealth decline, but that is its own digression.

When people say “more supply of housing will lower demand which lowers prices” as a solution to housing crisis
what they’re really saying is I have zero idea how finance works in 2025 and learned absolutely nothing from 07’ economic collapse.
