@pftompkins.bsky.social when you quit smoking after reading Allen Carr’s book did you not have any physical withdrawals as he says? Used his control drinking book to quit drinking after hearing you talk about him yrs ago. Was truly easy. I’ve never missed it since, not once.

Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans. Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan. Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.
