@lynninglis @DurhamWASP The whole series is on YouTube.

@DurhamWASP Is it streaming anywhere? I’d love to watch it again.

Watched an episode of Jeeves and Wooster last night and I can’t get Anne Dudley’s wonderful theme out of my head. #PGWodehouse

@DurhamWASP Always wondered why "bitches" instead of "bitch's" or "bitchs'".... But I dig it.

@Gentleman_Ways Note to self: Buy lemon socks...

If anyone needs me, I’ll be taking a nap…

@ThresherKing @SkylineReport He probably 'served' on the official "Stupid Rules of Engagement Committee."

You're simping for an absolute mouthpiece of the managerial glass. He's an REMF with zero combat experience, a blue falcon, and a spotlighter who is making the rounds to pump up his own "management consulting firm" Manner Analytics, LLC. Assholes like this turn 90 day conflicts into 20-year forever wars.

Pete Hegseth wasn’t removed from the DC National Guard by accident. A Major General is now warning that his rhetoric and actions are putting him on a path toward war crimes—and he lays out exactly why.

@pensiveone01 @oldstocky Pocketless billiards / carom billiards / carambole

@oldstocky Where are the pockets?

Men don’t need man caves with sports memorabilia on the wall, they need a pool room filled with old books and warm lighting

@SureFireSearle @GBNT1952 It's like people are afraid to say it...

@GBNT1952 He was "Activity" also - I dont know what their current SAP name is but ISA.

Think of the hardest eye roll imaginable. That’s what I do when people who know everything they know about the military from Netflix try to speak military… He was a Ranger in 75th Ranger Regiment first and then he went to SFAS and became a Green Beret. He was a Special Forces soldier in 5th SFG(A) after that. I disagree with the guy a lot now, but his service record still deserves respect.

@galleywinter Just occurred to me: He's been gone as long as he was here.

Couldn’t let Friday the 13th slide by without sharing SRV’s take on the Stevie Wonder classic “Superstition”. Bad luck has never sounded so powerful. Stevie Ray Vaughan has been gone since 1990 but his influence and genius will last forever. This is Texas Music.

@SEATTLESUBMISS SPRINTING? That's barely jogging.

@7559pr The Prague Orgy is worth a look. Both the book and film.

Philip Roth : Le Passager de Prague Derrière l’image du provocateur new-yorkais se cachait un diplomate littéraire clandestin. De 1972 à 1977, chaque printemps, #PhilipRoth se rendait à Prague avec un simple visa de touriste. En réalité, il rejoint les grands dissidents persécutés par le régime : #IvanKlíma, #LudvíkVaculík, #MilanKundera. Il leur apporte des livres interdits, recueille leurs témoignages et crée la série « Writers from the Other Europe » pour les publier à l’Ouest. La police secrète tchèque le place sous haute surveillance : son dossier porte le nom de code « Turista » et sa chambre d’hôtel est truffée de micros. Roth le sait, mais il persiste. En 1977, il est arrêté. Après un interrogatoire tendu, il est expulsé et interdit de séjour jusqu’à la chute du régime. Le lendemain, la police interroge Ivan Klíma. Les agents ne comprennent pas pourquoi cet écrivain américain si célèbre s’obstine à revenir chaque année. Klíma, avec un calme légendaire, leur répond : « Vous ne lisez pas ses livres ? Il vient pour les filles. » C’est par ce mensonge dérisoire que se scelle l’élégance de leur amitié : utiliser le cliché de l’obsession sexuelle rothienne pour masquer un acte de pure résistance.

@thehoffather Why is this 'shift' to Nashville being described as 'expansion' when SBUX is closing stores and downsizing? SMH...

Starbucks closes another Seattle store as labor unrest and Nashville expansion add to local uncertainty Starbucks has already paid out the remainder of its lease on one Seattle-area office location and vacated the space in preparation for the Nashville move. kvi.com/2026/03/09/sta…

@BreakingNewsNik You'll shoot your toe off

Check out my new pew pew.

@jasonrantz They present a device requesting a tip BEFORE they even provide any service or food. All they've done is taken my money.

Tip culture has gotten out of control in Seattle and I'm done with it. No more tips for anyone.

@owroot And the line was ad-libbed, to boot.

The whole scene is one of the greatest. This line is rightfully remembered most but all of the dialogue in the ferris wheel is just as good. "What do you believe in?"

@herald0fwoe @shortmagsmle Agreed.

@shortmagsmle Still not convinced on the 315 bench

Imagine being a navy officer who had to sit through years and years of gay race communist training and trans-affirming e-modules and then a dude who benches 315 shows up and says “fuck it man, you can fire the torpedoes” and it’s now all worth it. It must have been beautiful.

@APetimezas @prep_propaganda Alden full straps on Aberdeen last might be just the ticket for you.

@prep_propaganda If I could only buy loafers with a narrow last for a long, low volume feet...

Stop wearing sneakers

@DefiyantlyFree You need to add Hezbollah's bombing of the US Embassy in Beirut on 18 April 1983 to your timeline... please.

This didn’t begin Friday. Carter started it. He watched the Islamic Republic take power, watched American diplomats get seized and paraded on television for 444 days, spent the rest of his presidency negotiating with people who had already told us exactly what they were. Reagan facilitated it. October 23rd, 1983. A Hezbollah truck bomb funded and directed by Iran killed 241 United States Marines in Beirut while they slept. The deadliest single day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima. Reagan’s response? Tehran was heard clearly and never forgotten kill enough Americans at once and America will leave. That lesson became the operational blueprint for every Iran-backed proxy attack for the next forty years. Clinton ignored it. 1995 — a car bomb in Riyadh kills five Americans. 1996 — Khobar Towers. A massive truck bomb kills 19 United States Air Force personnel in Saudi Arabia. Nothing. 1998 — Embassy bombings in Africa. 2000 — USS Cole. Seventeen sailors killed. Clinton launched missiles at an empty training camp and an aspirin factory. Eight years. Hundreds of Americans dead or wounded. Zero consequences for Tehran. Bush handed them the keys. He called them the Axis of Evil correctly. Then invaded two countries simultaneously and handed Iran the greatest strategic gift in its history. Iranian Quds Force operatives flooded across the border funding, training, and arming the militias killing our soldiers. And the response was to continue the war while avoiding direct confrontation with the country killing our people. By the time Bush left office Iran had deeper influence in Iraq than we did. Obama funded it. This is where failure becomes unforgivable. The Green Revolution of 2009 where millions of Iranians in the streets begging for American support ignored. The protesters were crushed. The regime survived. Then came the $150 billion in sanctions relief, sunset clauses that expired within a decade, zero restrictions on ballistic missiles, and zero restrictions on funding proxy terror networks. Then came the cash. $1.7 billion. On pallets. On an unmarked plane. In the middle of the night. Delivered simultaneously with American hostages. The regime used the imagery as propaganda for years and used the money to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi expansion in Yemen, and the proxy militia networks in Iraq and Syria that spent the next decade killing Americans. Obama literally funded the apparatus that put the drone into Tower 22. Biden surrendered to it. 160-plus attacks on American forces from October 2023 forward. American soldiers killed in Jordan. Two Navy SEALs lost at sea intercepting Iranian weapons shipments to the Houthis. Houthi missiles disrupting global shipping lanes. Iranian proxies running operations across five countries. Three Georgia soldiers died in their beds. Then came Trump. He looked at forty-five years of this record and did something no president had done since the hostages came home. He said no. Maximum pressure. IRGC designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Sanctions reimposed. The JCPOA abandoned. Soleimani the architect of Iranian proxy violence across the entire Middle East, personally responsible for hundreds of American deaths killed in a precision strike in January 2020. The regime paralyzed. The proxies recalibrated. The nuclear program set back. For the first time in four decades the regime faced a president it genuinely could not predict. Then Trump left office. Biden came in. The pressure evaporated. The appeasement resumed. And the regime, patient as it has always been, went back to work. And now we’re here. So the next time someone tells you this is Trump’s war tell them they are brainless twats. This isn’t Trump’s war. This is forty-five years of American presidents refusing to finish it and one president finally deciding that the bill comes due. If you are not capable of comprehending that move to Iran and defend the regime personally.

@foster_type I have a feeling they just did...

They should hold a scrimmage against their namesake.

@atriskute @DejaRu22 @DurhamWASP I immediately thought of Hunter's day. Neither one is really believable.

@DejaRu22 @DurhamWASP Counterpoint

This is the life

@libsoftiktok That's not a 'leap,' it's a hop at best.

WOW. Watch as Border Patrol agents leap from a truck to perform a raid at a Home Depot in LA. Illegals can be seen scattering as they are pursued by agents. 16 were reportedly taken into custody. This is what I voted for 🔥

@NecktieSalvage Great movie. On my list for a re-watch this week.

Everyone was constantly sweating in 70s movies. There are no exceptions. It appears the world was just very sweaty, very smokey, and very hairy, and that was pretty much it.
