I often lose track of the days, but rarely forget when it's #MountainMonday & #BlueSkyMonday. I haven't been up here since late September, and I'm patiently waiting for these summer views of Baker again.

12-year-old me. But it's a terrible idea. I would have liked to fly a jet fighter too.
Out of curiosity why would we want e-bikes to go over 20mph??

Watercolour painting in a woodland, with an interesting wooden footbridge over a stream. This is the second version: I gave the first version to the person who owned these grounds but she has since moved. I hope it's a nice reminder for her.

I extend my full sympathy to the Brown shooting victims. I also hope they're grateful they were shot in America, where our gunshot trauma surgeons are seasoned experts, and not socialist Europe, where they'd barely know what to do.

this is certainly not a trump admin phenomenon but it's truly wild to me that people seem to believe that the constitution's congressional war powers consist entirely of the ability to pass a resolution declaring a formal state of war
That the legislature rather than the executive controls when and if the nation goes to war was one of the most specific, deliberate, and extensively explained changes the Constitution made from the British model. "This is a power the crown had but the president won't" was absolutely unambiguous.

My wife and I drove separate cars to the Christmas party. I spent two hours being social, roughly my limit, and then I came home and relaxed and played games, and she spent about another 2.5 with her friends. We were both happy.

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Hint hint
Bulgaria’s government resigned after massive anti-corruption protests. More than 100,000 people filled the streets in Sofia, with tens of thousands more nationwide, forcing the coalition to step down amid public fury over corruption. Gen Z led the charge.
