@saltysquidswife My mom quit when she died. I was 54. 🥰

My youngest, who is a 19-yo college freshman, is really bummed that I didn't put together an Easter basket for him. At what age is it okay for me to stop? 😂

@EthansAnalyst Ergo, uncommon sense is all too common.

Observation Common sense not so common -Voltaire

@HkGuns @lucyshow11 We had a school sanctioned smoking area. There was a school employee stationed there to ensure cigarettes was all we were smoking.

@lucyshow11 This is 100% horseshit. None of them were of age and would have been suspended if caught.

Can you believe this??! 😅

@GuntherEagleman He dishonors every soldier killed at Pearl Harbor and everyone we lost from the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He should apologize to their families.

🚨 RINO Sen. Thom Tillis just went full clown mode He’ll vote NO on Trump’s next AG nominee unless they swear January 6 was WORSE than Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the Trail of Tears “in every single facet.” Thom Tillis is a POS.

@ThatBloke_Jesus Rest up. We’re going to keep you real busy before you know it.

Still dead!

@BillMelugin_ @IngrahamAngle Monsters have been released among us.

NEW: A Guatemalan illegal alien with a deportation order has been charged with raping a 5-year-old girl he was babysitting on Long Island, NY. The girl’s mother came home, noticed her bleeding, and took her to the hospital where a rape kit was used. DHS says local law enforcement in Suffolk County contacted ICE NYC and asked them to arrest Carlos Aguilar Reynoso to keep him out of the community while they built their case. ICE did arrest him, and transferred him back to local law enforcement once the DA charged him for the child rape. He is now facing a litany of charges and is in custody. In a statement, ICE says this is why cooperation between local and federal law enforcement is crucial, and why sanctuary policies that prohibit that cooperation endanger the public.

@BuzzPatterson I used to ask my mom for this for my birthday dinner! 😊

Do you know what this is? I’ll tell you what it is. It’s Heaven at 3 AM in an Air Force dining hall.

@EricLDaugh I’d say this - he’s certainly tenacious enough to make a great attorney general, but we need him where he is.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Sen. Mike Lee has CONFIRMED he's NOT leaving the Senate after anonymous senators pushed for him to become Attorney General in place of Pam Bondi "I’m not going anywhere." 🔥 How convenient the TOP FIGHTER for the SAVE America Act is who senators want gone! We need you in the Senate, @BasedMikeLee! Keep fighting 🇺🇸

@ThatBloke_Jesus TGIF Baby!

Yay!! It’s Friday 🥳

@Mr_Husky1 Reading this puts my heart back in my throat. We need to remember.

He was thirty-two years old, a husband, a father of two little boys, and expecting a daughter in just a few months. In his final moments, knowing he would never meet her, Todd Beamer could have begged for mercy. Instead, he organized a resistance, prayed with a stranger, and spoke two words the world would never forget. It was September 11, 2001. United Airlines Flight 93 took off from Newark at 8:42 a.m., delayed and routine, heading for San Francisco. On board were 44 people: passengers, crew, and four hijackers. Among the passengers was Todd Beamer, traveling for work and planning to surprise his pregnant wife, Lisa, on her birthday. At 9:28 a.m., chaos erupted. Hijackers stormed the cockpit. The plane jolted violently. Screams echoed through the cabin. Within minutes, Flight 93 was turned around and redirected east, toward Washington, D.C. The pilots were gone. Control of the aircraft was no longer in the hands of those trained to fly it. Todd Beamer picked up the seat-back Airfone. He didn’t call his wife. He didn’t call a friend. He reached a customer service center and was connected to Lisa Jefferson, a GTE supervisor. What followed was a thirteen-minute call that would become part of history. Todd spoke with clarity and composure. He described the hijackers, the weapons, the layout of the cabin, the absence of the pilots. Lisa listened, documented everything, and stayed with him. As other passengers on Flight 93 made calls of their own, a devastating truth came into focus. The World Trade Center had been hit. The Pentagon had been struck. This was not an isolated hijacking. Their plane was part of a coordinated attack. Todd understood what that meant. Doing nothing would not save them. Compliance would not bring negotiations. The aircraft itself was intended to become a weapon. Whatever target lay ahead would suffer massive loss of life unless something changed. Todd asked Lisa to do something deeply personal. If he didn’t survive, would she call his family and tell them how much he loved them? He had every reason to be terrified. His wife was seven months pregnant. His sons were three years old and one year old. He would never meet his daughter. He would never see his children grow. But fear did not paralyze him. It focused him. Todd joined with other passengers, including Tom Burnett, Mark Bingham, and Jeremy Glick. They spoke quietly. They compared information. They weighed the risks. They understood the outcome either way. Remaining seated meant certain death and catastrophic consequences on the ground. Fighting back meant danger, injury, and likely death — but it also meant the chance to stop the attack. Over the phone, Lisa could hear the resolve forming. Todd returned to the call and asked one final thing. He asked Lisa to pray with him. At thirty thousand feet, facing the end of his life, he recited the Lord’s Prayer with a stranger. His voice did not shake. When the prayer ended, he paused, then turned back to the others. “Are you ready, guys?” “Okay.” “Let’s roll.” Lisa stayed on the line as movement erupted in the background. Shouting. Struggle. The sound of passengers rushing forward. At 10:03 a.m., United Flight 93 crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Everyone on board was killed. But the plane never reached Washington. Investigators later concluded Flight 93 was likely headed for the U.S. Capitol or the White House. Because of what happened inside that cabin, that attack never occurred. Countless lives were spared by people who knew they might not survive and chose to act anyway. The 9/11 Commission later described the actions of the passengers of Flight 93 as the first successful counterattack of that day. It was not led by soldiers or commanders. It was led by ordinary people who refused to be passive. Todd Beamer’s daughter, Morgan, was born four months later. She grew up knowing who her father was and what he chose.

@SamaHoole Looking at my yard and gardens this spring, I now know I need to channel my inner Doris.

For those who missed the beginning. This is Doris. Doris is a Texel ewe on a fell in the Lake District. She is four years old. She has been described as part of the problem with upland agriculture. Things Doris has done this month: Maintained 45 plant communities on a fell grazed continuously since the thirteenth century: tormentil, harebells, heath bedstraw, fine-leaved fescue, the low-growing species that require a grazed sward to survive. Kept the base of the 1771 dry-stone wall short enough that freeze-thaw cycles don't work into the joints. The wall is standing. The wall will outlast everything currently being written about livestock farming because Doris is eating the grass at its base. Grazed the section above the skylark nest at exactly the right height to maintain the cover ratio. The farmer has watched her do this for three years. He's never told the RSPB. He doesn't think they'd believe him. Three confirmed breeding pairs this season in the east corner. First time in six years. Walked into the bog. Extracted herself. Concluded the bog started it. No further mention of the bog. Been in Brian's field 51 times. Brian cannot work out how. The wall is always repaired. The mortar is always dry. Brian has started to accept that Doris is using the wall. Got cast in the dip for the fourth time. On her back 11 minutes on Thursday. Farmer righted her. She walked away with the purposefulness of an animal that had somewhere important to be. The somewhere important to be was two metres away. Thursday has not been mentioned since. Predicted rain four times this week. Farmer checked his waterproof against her movements. Correct four out of four. Things Doris has complained about this month: None on record. Things Doris has read about herself: None. Doris is grazing. Brian's spreadsheet has 15 columns. The fell is improving. This is Doris's fault.

@FriedmanKinky Nobody like Kinky. Thanks for sharing.

2 pals jamming circa 1993. Wait til the end Kinky Friedman and Willie Nelson - 1993 Big thanks to Doug Holloway for holding onto this show all these years and for connecting with Team Kinky to share this archival material.

@turtology Wish I was right on the sidewalk next to them!!! (Although they might have to help me up!)

My sons, watching Artemis II launch from their front yard in Orlando.

@gatokeza_ Should have been pulled out of the oven sooner and then let to rest for a bit. Then it would be perfect.

So you want to convince me that this is not an undercooked steak?💀

@ThatBloke_Jesus Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor…look around. Thanks for the grins and sins.

@SamaHoole Keith just has a mind - and will - of his own.

The short version of Keith, for everyone who's just arrived. Keith came down from a barn roof in Devon that he has been living on for eleven consecutive days to eat a cyclist's energy bar. That is not the context. That is simply what happened on Tuesday. The context is this. Keith descends from the Bezoar Ibex of the Zagros Mountains of Iran, an animal that navigates vertical cliff faces at 4,000 metres and extracts nutrition from thorned scrub in January at altitude. The domestication of the domestic goat was, by livestock standards, not particularly thorough: goats retained the independence and problem-solving ability that selective breeding had removed from cattle and sheep by the Bronze Age. Keith is the 10,000-year result of this. He has been on Dave's farm 14 months. He has opened every gate on the farm. His record against the seven: North field gate: 19 times. Third version. Three bolts. Keith is on day two. South field gate: 12 times. Yard gate: 7 times. Electric latch now fitted after Keith was found in the kitchen standing there. Looking. Not eating anything. Just standing. Feed store: 3 times. Third occasion: ate part of the latch mechanism before Dave noticed. Paddock: 4 times. Track gate: not yet opened. Keith has been assessing it every Wednesday since September. This is the longest assessment of any gate. Dave is not comforted by the duration. Road gate: Dave checks it every morning before Keith gets there. Twice. He cleared Dave's 12-year knotweed stand. The Environment Agency's chemical treatment quote for the same area was £4,000. Keith's fee was bramble, the east ditch, and the gate budget. The gate budget is £387. Margot, Dave's cousin's Anglo-Nubian, visited for a week. The corner post on Steve's boundary has a 4mm flex. Keith now knows about the 4mm flex. Keith is not in a hurry. Steve has filed 24 formal complaints. The Reverend has Dave's number. The knotweed is at 6%.

@Sassafrass_84 Please send pics of Oakley and Rocket with food. That would be perfection

I was told not to post food or my dogs on X because this isn't facebook. No, it's not facebook. It's X. The everything app. So I'll be posting my dogs because many others enjoy pet posts and aren't just here for one genre on X. Oakley and Rocket. Toodles.

@SamaHoole I think I need my own South East corner. Channel my inner Gerald.

If you're new here, let me introduce Gerald. Gerald is a Hereford cross in Herefordshire. He eats grass. He does a pat. He lies down at noon every Friday in exactly the same spot, which the farmer has stopped finding remarkable and started finding quietly reassuring. He arrived in September 2022 at five months old, rode the trailer without complaint, assessed his forty acres for ninety seconds, and walked directly to the south corner. He has never reconsidered the south corner. The south corner now has seven wildflower species, six bumblebee species, a dung beetle population, and a lapwing pair that have nested on the east hedgerow every spring since Gerald decided it was the right corner. He has grazed through fog so thick the farmer couldn't see him from the gate, three consecutive days of horizontal November rain, a hailstorm that sounded like "the field was being used for target practice," and a minus-six overnight with the water trough iced solid. Gerald's response to all of it: grazed. The vet visited. Cortisol normal. "Most contented animal I've seen, or he's transcended caring either way." The man who walks past at 7:15 paused last Tuesday for the first time in four years. He told his wife it made him feel like something was just getting on with it. Without drama. Without complaint. Gerald doesn't know about the man. Gerald doesn't need to. Gerald is reliable for the field. The field is the audience. A documentary crew came. Gerald ignored them. A parliamentary footnote is being prepared. Gerald doesn't know about the parliamentary footnote. Dennis is arriving from Ross-on-Wye. Gerald will graze. The south corner is fine.

@MrsEthanBrooks Must be the silent prayer you say every time Ethan has you staring at the ceiling.

I’ve always loved the South. For those who are unaware, “Bless your heart” doesn’t mean what you think it means. it’s definitely on brand. Occasionally my intention is literal. Most of the time it is not. Keeps you guessing. Plz pray. Thx. Sent from my iPad

@GovEvers Without getting into my personal feelings, why can’t you just celebrate all-people day. You do more to divide with your antics.

Today, I celebrated Trans Day of Visibility surrounded by LGBTQ Wisconsinites as I kept my promise to veto several Republican bills targeting our trans and gender nonconforming kids. Here in Wisconsin, we celebrate our trans and LGBTQ neighbors. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
