“From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men.” —John Ball, sermon at Blackheath, London, 1381.

This is kinda a big deal in NC politics as state representative Dem Cecil Brockman has aligned himself with the GOP in the General Assembly on important votes. Amanda Clark is running to replace him. This may have given her the advantage she needed. #ncpol

You know what, this is probably as good a time as any to port over a thread that folks really asked for -

#Cooking while #ADHD.

Because it turns out, cooking is a multi-step process, that requires (often) exact timing, and is full of sensory information. SO NONE OF OUR STRENGTHS.

OMG thanks for this! My ADHD son really enjoys cooking and this would be so helpful. I have a tough time following recipes- especially if I’m fatigued. Maybe I have inattentive type. Just hard for me to follow a recipe and put it all together. Once I’ve made a recipe I can re-create it easily.

Had a fabulous weekend hosting new and experienced #tenkara anglers that gathered near Brevard North Carolina. Looking forward to another campout this spring.

Troops, Military Families, and Veterans all are going to get screwed by the #TrumpShutdown, but at least construction of his ballroom is considered more urgent and won't stop.

Lutnick on being invited over to his then-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein's house: He invites us in and there's a massage table in the middle of the room. I say, "Massage table in the middle of your house? How often you have a massage?

And he says, "Every day...and the right kind of massage."

He’s just laughing and joking about this. So gross. I want to punch him.

Congrats Chunk! But Otis will always be king.

Next time you feel like things are tough, just remember that the winner of fat bear week came in second place twice and then won despite having a broken jaw all summer

32 Chunk voted as Fat Bear Week 2025 winner after 2 years as runner-up

As one of the largest bears that resides along Brooks River at Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska, 32 Chunk was estimated to be over 1,200 pounds.

When I worked in harm reduction, gabapentin and anti-seizure medications were some of the most diverted meds on the street.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.
