What a fragile wounded ego he has. Hegseth's constant need to act as if he were the masculine ideal of strength is cartoonish and pitiful. He's tried to mask his pain by serially abusing both women and alcohol, but it is all too evident. #hegseth #departmentofwar

We need a stronger word for outrageously cynical hyper-hypocrisy.

Secretary of the Dept. of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, accused a US Senator of disrespectful political theater. In this picture she is shown posing for staged photo ops in various costumes.

For some reason, I've never been one to curse, but I'm getting more opportunities to work on that.

My two favorite spring flowers are trout lilies and trillium. The trout lillies came out in mid-March and now it's time for the trillium to show off. This was taken this morning in Big Tumbling Creek (maps.app.goo.gl/EoEf2jSp8jXp...)

600 showed up in Abingdon VA, a small Appalachian town in Southwest Virginia. In case you don't know, that is an amazing number. @takeaction-swva.org @indivisible.org #HandsOff #Virginia

Trump is no leader. This is a mafia-style strong arm tactic. The world is to be divided up and ruled by regional crime syndicates. The Don just wants submission to his power. #imwithukraine #Ukraine

Justified or not, Lincoln suspended specific Constitutional rights in the middle of a war on our soil and, among whatever other motivations,he sought to free people from slavery. Trump is threatening to suspend the rule of law in the name of "efficiency" and ideological purity. Not the same.

Picture of Trump and his post, "He who saved the Country does not violate any laws."

I'll have fun at a super bowl party tonight, but catchers and pitchers report to spring training next week and I can't wait for the season to begin. #baseball #mlb #fortheA #Braves

This is how everyday feels now.

I think tire stores should have deals like new tires and a manicure.

Very interesting. I asked the new Chinese AI service, DeepSeek, if China is an authoritarian nation. It responded with a long response that cited evidence that, although there are different perspectives, many agreed it was. But when I tried to scroll to see the whole response, this came up.

He claims a popular mandate and acts all powerful; she humbly tries to follow a divine mandate and knows where true power lies. Trump's post is a huge mark of honor. I'd use it as the first page on my résumé if I were her.

Snowing in Maggie Valley NC, but it's the cold I'm worried about.

Basically, the gun lobby says we just have to accept that our kids are more likely to die of a gun shot than a car wreck. But notice we've been able to implement basic safety measures for vehicles without restricting the ability to drive. Why can't we do the same for firearms?

Chart titled Causes of death for children that show firearms as the leading cause and lower down shows a big spike of drug deaths.
