Journalists—HALP!

Today at the National Postal Museum, I learned that newspapers were named after their means of distribution, with “the post” being “A POST” as in, “nailed to a giant stick.”

Which begs the question: was there an original Washington Post?

My friends are like “OVER 15 years?!?”

I’m not joking when I say over 15 years on farms with Covid in the middle has made me forget how to anything in a town with other humans. It’s very strange, as I had so many non rural years before that.

Chicagoland locals: Is it still the case where if I don’t have an ipass I can look up my missed tolls via license plate and pay them after?

Me on the skyway tomorrow…ahhh my back! I’m going to Gary!

Going to MI tomorrow! I’ll be driving a zesty little borrowed sporty car, I’m equal parts excited and hoping it doesn’t break me.

Where are we getting decent chocolate truffles that don’t cost $100 these days? I need to treat myself but holy cow have prices exploded.

Barn cam still, everyone is doing great! Say hi to my BIL’s head. They’re topping the lambs off with a little replacer to make sure everyone is getting enough to eat.

It doesn’t matter if ICE is slowly down in a particular municipality except for those who live there. It remains our collective problem, it’s just checkers sliding around, while also probably a lie.

My takeaway is the artist was told to draw painstakingly draw each hair in Platner's beard and then what they thought someone called Jasmine Crockett would look like
A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.

Memphis is under a federal task force occupation that includes DEA, CBP, ICE, National Guard, state troopers, and (I’m not joking) IRS agents (IRS jackets kidnapping people). No national news.
ICE and CBP haven’t withdrawn from a single fucking U.S. city that they’ve occupied.
