Made this over coffee, sat on it, watched all day as folks acted the smug fool on Facebook and Twitter, and certainly in a particular group chat I’m ignoring… so, yeah, here you go.
My family pecan pie story is that when I was a toddler in the upper South, my new employee mother was told her dish at the office potluck was pecan pie. Clearly a form of hazing a non-native, saved only by a kindly older coworker telling her aside the recipe is on the side of a Karo syrup bottle.
I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once

While searching for the Mizzou game, I found that I get The Cowboy Channel and now I’m very invested (to my wife’s annoyance) in all this cowboy rodeo stuff. There was one event where you jump off a running horse and onto a young running bull, grab it by the neck and horns, and wrestle it down. 😳

Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

As a layperson, this appears to be clear, vindictive bullshit against a decorated veteran and career civil servant.
I never served in the military, so my perspective may be way off base, but wouldn’t this wildly demoralize any service member who sees this as a purely political sham?
