Here's the thing about airline peanuts. The bag is so small and crinkly and what if you wanted almonds instead. Did they even ask everyone if they wanted peanuts? But you are trapped under the sway of big peanut which is actually a legume and not a nut.
How is this legal?

Unusual. New euphemism for illegal has dropped.
The Trump administration is trading billions of dollars of taxpayer money for ownership stakes in private companies it deems essential to national security. The unusual practice shows no sign of slowing.

This could be worse. It could be of RFK Jr. Looking on the bright side of life.
I regret to inform you there is more Olivia Newzzi: the print VF will feature a nude portrait by artist Isabelle Brourman that is also destined for Art Basel Miami Beach. Notably, its inclusion appears be a surprise to VF staff. VF looking worse and worse here. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

True story. Had a SSG join my unit after deciding to leave Special Forces. He showed up first day in dirty unpolished boots, uniform completely wrinkled then regaled us with stories of the things he did in Africa and Latin America that made him decide to leave Special Forces.
Badass.

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

I wonder if there is a medal in the National Guard for being rejected from inauguration duty due to white nationalist tattoos.
Maybe the combat disservice badge.

If we ever get a semi-complete accounting of the corruption we don't know about, even the most cynical will be flabbergasted, believing they weren't as world weary as they should have been.

I was dating a guy. I went to his family for TG. They asked if I wanted to make something from my family while we were going shopping, & asked what I needed. I was making stuffed mushrooms so I needed mushrooms, Parmesan, garlic & bread crumbs.
They said, ‘We have garlic & parm at home!’

It’d be exciting to think that Bluesky has people pretending to be American like Twitter but I honestly don’t think they could talk about Star Trek Deep Space 9 the way it’s expected here without having watched all the episodes a dozen times
