A friend of mine recently returned from a trip to the EU. At customs in Nashville coming home, she said she saw a white European female traveler having to take off a jacket and show all her tattoos and explain what they mean. CBP is evidently targeting everyone, not just people they think look "foreign." Nobody should visit the US.

The administration already said, "HAHA, We were just kidding." And Harvard is going after the administration now.

If they want lawyers, prepare for shock and awe!

I would appreciate if someone ran the numbers but Musk may be the biggest welfare claimant in world history.

Musk complains about handouts when Tesla was only profitable due to credits

Tesla CEO Elon Musk started its earnings call today with a bizarre conspiratorial rant, showing his hypocrisy on the issue of gov't credits.

In & Out Burger was the first fast food chain to force employees to get a doctors note to be able to mask.

Panda Express followed & now we’re hearing that Starbucks may enact a similar rule.

If you stopped masking, you made this easier. We need visibility. We need to normalize masks.

I laughed out loud.

Reports indicate that Elon Musk wants to take a step back from politics because everyone is mean to him.

You heard it here first kids, bullying works.

We were out picking blackberries, on a Manchester greenway the other year. A passer-by asked us "what do you do with them?".
An almost lost culture.

Discipline, by King Crimson (1981).

I was introduced to this by a college roommate ~1982/1983. It completely changed my perception of music (and other things).

A post inspired by my daughter sending me a spotify link to some milktoast "progressive" rock she's listening to. I feel sick. 🀒

This links to the whole album.
