A novel in a fess:
There's a photo of me from my wedding day where I'm laughing and I look what can only be described as gay. I have a gay face when I laugh. It probably wouldn't bother me so much but I actually am gay and haven't yet worked out how to tell the wife.

English isn't my wife's first language, but she's lived in UK 20+ yrs. This morning, at a carol concert, I learned she has been singing that "Christ, Arse Saver" is born during 'Silent Night' the whole time. "Because he saves our arses, yes?"

Sending Christopher Anderson as the photographer was definitely not a random choice. Sitting in front of Christopher Anderson not knowing what was going to happen was probably less informed of a choice

Right now the U.S. is amassing "the largest U.S. military deployment in Latin America since the Cold War" to provoke a war against Venezuela.
In some better alternate timeline, we'd be using all those resources to help our neighbors in Jamaica, Haiti, & Cuba recover from Hurricane Melissa.

Here is what Maduro faces as the U.S. amasses a huge armada off Venezuela’s coast
From the flight deck of the USS Gerald R. Ford to the submarines prowling the depths of the Caribbean, the United States has assembled a military force unseen in the region for decades.

Just saw a recruitment commercial for ICE to help capture “the worst of the worst”. I had no idea that children in Chicago, zip tied in the dark of night, were the worst of the worst.

@billmckibben.bsky.social says although “this is as dark a moment as there's ever been in our democracy,” a surge in renewable energy is an "untold story" with huge potential.

Paul Saladino Says "Oatmeal is Unhealthy!"
2x Olympic Marathon Champion Eliud Kipchoge became the first human in history to run a sub-two-hour marathon in the city of Vienna, Austria back in 2019.
And his favorite breakfast is oatmeal.
Not sure what the carnivore crowd will think of that...
