First, if you're going to wear this, you need a good pedicure. Not necessarily polish, but nails must be neatly filed, and free of dirty old cuticle. Second, if you're going to wear this, it needs to fit. These are too narrow and flat for these feet. Third, if you're going to wear this, don't.

Know any Trumpers? The time to start talking to them about protesting this atrocity, or at the least boycotting it, is now. Whatever one's feelings and opinions about the death penalty, this is barbaric. The administration may back down on its own; it often does. But let's not count on that.

Pentagon says firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed

When asked if Hasan had made any final requests or reached out to the Trump administration, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth simply replied: “Don’t care. We’ll see him on December 3rd.”

😆 This task has never seemed especially hard to me, but I guess I grew up doing it. Northeastern houses often don't have central air, but with the humidity alone, we *need* it. So I've been installing and uninstalling window units, or at least helping, since childhood. Sorry! Handyman next time?

Waffle House is not on Bluesky yet. ☹️ Green: full menu, lights are on. Yellow: limited menu, probs on generator, might have low food supply. Red: closed, unsafe to go to. Wrong answers only: Were you at the Waffle House? All good. Were you at the Waffle House when its roof blew off? Welp.

From Wikipedia: A map showing the Waffle House Index, prepared by an employee of FEMA. The map shows all locations of Waffle House restaurants, color-coded by whether they are operating normally, with a limited menu, or closed entirely. The map shows a handful of locations in Georgia and South Carolina serving a limited menu, due to the February 2014 nor'easter.
Added by me: Only a few locations are in yellow, and I don't see any in red. Apparently Waffle House weathered this major 2014 storm very well!

It's fascinating (derogatory) when people who quickly left Twitter in '22 after Elon took over, when he didn't even start ruining it yet, they just didn't feel comfortable with him even back then, return there now after everything that's happened, as if *now* it's ok when it wasn't then…

I don't think this one has had much done. Some lip filler—less than most of the MAGA women. Forehead Botox. Probably an upper eyelid/brow lift. It's very minimal, within the crowd. The main thing making her look like she does is she's very underweight. And waaayy too much makeup.

Personally, I find confederate symbols terrifying. And will probably never voluntarily return to Texas, in part for that reason. But that is not to detract from your point. I'm from the northeast, so it's very different. We do really ostracize people for that around here. We won the damn war.

Oh, yeah, same. It's an item that does have possibilities for a bioweapon, and when we have a competent administration they keep an eye on that around the world. But in this case I think they genuinely were doing normal research, possibly for one of the vaccines in development, and just screwed up.
