#scrapple is good.
Scrapple is a classic failure in marketing. If they had just called it "Amish Country Paté" they could sell it for $20 a lbs.

My daughter asked for (and received!) a record player for her birthday. I don't know if she reckoned how much #HueyLewisAndTheNews was going to be in her future.

It's time for #YummyNuts! We're on our second bag already. No, not pecan bag, but brown paper bag. Shaking after baking is critical.

Gimme a school circle, take a knee, take off your helmets, & drink water.
#CookingForLieutenants is in session.
Still have about an hour left, and I’m serving this with egg noodles instead of mashed potatoes, but it looks like we’re gonna have an impromptu #CookingForLieutenants segment featuring Guinness beef stew. Follow this space.

This is an excellent shirt.
Wildly illegal $1.2 TRILLION tax hike that violates multiple domestic laws & multiple ratified international treaties, along with impoverishing the median voter, who works in the non-tradable services sector & experiences international trade <only> as a consumer.

FY25 is dead, long live FY26!

*Wait, what was that?* *Fumbling*

FY26 is experiencing technical difficulties, but will be with you shortly.

Since we’re all about to become experts on the subject, please note that the North Atlantic Treaty and the NATO Handbook typically use Arabic numerals, not Roman, to enumerate the Treaty’s articles.

2 cups of coffee and a 10 mile run. A great #LaborDay start. Reward: #scrapple breakfast.

I remember the first Soldiers in berets. Active duty, in the sun, picking up roadside trash. The berets truly motivated them. I could tell.
What the hell is the National Guard doing?!?!?!

Everyone knows the active duty force trains for this exact mission every Red Cycle. Get these amateurs out of here and let’s get a Battalion of OPERATION Clean Sweep veterans for this vital mission.

I’m a little salty that neither Anthropic nor Google reached out to me before they released their terminal-based AI coding agents.
