This is so wholesome. 48 years ago today, on the last ever Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway surprised Carol with her idol, Jimmy Stewart. Her reaction transforms her into a kid again.

The Iranian regime can meet our demands for surrender or we will keep killing regime decision makers until there aren’t any more left. Then we will start killing the ‘police’ & terrorists in the streets murdering the public protestors.

@tedfrank I think Mattress Mack places a giant bet in Vegas first and then offers the promotion to hedge.

My friend took a multi-week tour of the Balkans and spoke with people from Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Macedonia. He said he learned that the Balkans problem was that every single nation had picked the historical time when they were at their greatest territorial extent and felt THAT’S what they deserved. So Hungary wanted Transylvania, Bulgaria wanted Thrace, and so forth. My favorite tale was when he met a depressed-looking Macedonian who told him, “By rights we should own all the way through Persia and Egypt.” Referencing Alexander I guess (yes I know). Anyway with all these conflicting claims it’s insane.

There are people in the Balkans who will spend all day editing Wikipedia just to do this.

China: Uses its shadow network of psyop bots to demoralize America and push antisemitism Japan: Uses its shadow network of psyop bots to embrace America and make us love Japan These countries are not the same.

To my American friends, I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen. When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close. For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough. But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying: “Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.” No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again. Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸 This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together. To the American people: We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, America. The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever. #PhoenixRising 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸🌸

No matter what you say to him, he will say he destroyed you. It’s like debating a 5 year old who lives in fantasy land where he invents history, truth, and even how the debate over facts went. But I personally would love to see yet another person show the ignorance in his repeated statements/positions point by point. @coldxman did it masterfully.

Neither Jews nor Christians believe this - - Jews believe in an Oral Torah that mitigates the harsher portions of the written Torah, and Christians believe the Torah was superseded by the New Testament and the new commandments of Jesus - - so what exactly is your point here?

Ok I blocked around 15 people and muted a few others and now my timeline is free from the anti-Cardinal posts It worked. Sad to see a few of them go, but if you’re going to slam the Cardinal for this and make up false reasons for what happened, rather than just see both sides and be reasonable, then there’s no reason for us to interact. It’s possible to be reasonable and say “that’s unfortunate, hope it can be worked out, ok yes there are guidelines but there is also flexibility”… It’s really easy not to spread incitement and hate and false information. One person I blocked doesn’t even live here and when I told him about my personal experience here in the war and what’s open and not open, he said “your experience doesn’t matter.” Well I think it does. I think 22 years in a city does matter. So…blocked. If you want to spread hate and conspiracies about a city I live in…so then maybe we don’t interact?

Stuffing KitKat bars inside Easter eggs this year. Thousands. I bought a couple of pallets of them on Etsy.

True story: when I built my Texas house with Doom bonuses, my architect wanted to make my mailbox with a little Doom door that slid up to get the mail. We did build a brick pillar to house the mailbox but I decided not to burden the mailman with a weird opening procedure.

@AGHamilton29 Yes. Whoever is responsible for this blunder should be named, fired publicly, and should never work in government again. Just a mind-bogglingly stupid mistake. It is good the Israelis are fixing it, but much damage has been done already.

This is the correct decision and what should have been done in the first place. By all accounts, Cardinal Pizzaballa has cooperated with the safety concerns and cancelled the procession. It makes sense to ban large gatherings, for all religious groups, in those unprotected areas. But if he and other Catholic leaders are willing to take the risk for themselves due to the importance of the holiday, then Israel should do everything possible to accommodate it. Israel has enough problems without stepping on unnecessary and easily avoidable landmines. Whoever was foolish enough to not work with The Cardinal prior ti today to find a solution should be removed from the decision-making process.

However, given the holiness of the week leading up to Easter for the world’s Christians, Israel’s security arms are putting together a plan to enable church leaders to worship at the holy site in the coming days.
