Unorthodox?!? Is THAT what screening troops for low-t is? Or is it: irrelevant, unnecessary, nonsensical, ill-advised, and/or insane? www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/u...

I googled so you don’t have to: Nix v. Hedden. (A tariff case.)
Screenshot of a tweet from October 2022 by @Arial_Comedy. “Tomatoes are the most patriotic plant. Because botanically, tomatoes are a fruit. But according to an 1893 Supreme Court ruling, they’re a vegetable. And there’s nothing more American than a court ruling that disagrees with science.

Mine would be most loyal fan (singular), except Maisie doesn’t have thumbs & can’t read.

I also have no gasts left to flabber.** **I have tempted fate & in response, the administration will do something so horrific that I will be forced to summon a gast to flabber.
Cartoon potato with caption “life is flabbering the gast out of me on an hourly basis.” From the TruthPotato account on Instagram.  Underneath, it says “I don’t have any gasts left to flabber.”

New Year’s Day good luck food #1: cornbread (with my homemade apple butter).

I hope you find it! I’m still really salty about the Henckels paring knife. In my defense, it was apple butter season & it got covered up in a pile of apple peels that looked something like this, but bigger.

If someone tries to get you out of bed, look adorably pathetic until they leave you alone. If that fails, grip the bed frame & hang on tight. Follow me for more pro tips. #MaisieSays
Adorable medium-sized red-brown dog, looking sad with her front paws on the bed frame.

“there are injustices that have only been addressed because for the first time they have become widely known through social media. At the same time, I can’t help but feel like the wiring in our brains and psyches and hearts and spirits wasn’t meant to take in all the information we consume each day.”Nadia Bolz-Weber

Is it because she copied it from Michelle Obama? (I didn’t click/read the article, but when has that ever stopped anyone from posting something on the Internet?)

I’m doing a Zoom workshop & I think the dog attached to this sweet /innocent face has figured out how to fake the prelude to throwing up (she knows I’ll move quickly when she makes that sound). #Dogsky
