@seizuresalad Very nice! I bet you would do some amazing beadwork if you decided to take that up.

Day 4 of learning to wire wrap. Tried an art deco weaving pattern using 18ga base wire and 24ga wrapping wire instead of the usual 26ga. The thicker wrapping wire caused some tension issues along the base wires (you can see the warping along the length) so I’m going to try this pattern again with the 26ga. I do like the silver/copper contrast, though.

@Acertaingirl @CaliRN619 @ociana60 I’ve never touched what is available in today’s market, but it is scientifically grown to produce the highest potency. It’s definitely not the creek bank weed of our younger years.

@ymdub58 @CaliRN619 @ociana60 Is that good or bad. Child of the 70's, never touched the stuff. If there had been edibles, things might have been different, hated the smell (still do).

My Boomer Auntie, who is a very loving and kind hearted person is a Democrat that hates Trump and MAGA with a passion and attended a recent #NoKings rally. To her, loving people means letting illegals stay, increasing food stamps/welfare, giving tax dollars to poor countries, and taxing the “rich” to fund all programs. When I try to explain to her how her ideals actually hurt people, she dismisses it as right wing propaganda. No amount of evidence or reasoning will persuade her to consider any other viewpoint. I’m convinced there was some sort of brainwashing drug that was administered to Boomers and activated during COVID. Either that or there was something seriously wrong with their LSD supply.

@ThrillaRilla369 Depends on why they are. My daughter does, but she is trying to save money to buy a house. She pays her own bills and kicks in on expenses, and does most of the cooking. We both work 8+ hours a day, so it is more of a roommate situation.

How do you feel about adult children still living at home after 25?

@CaliRN619 @ociana60 Pot from the ‘60 and ‘70 pales in comparison to what is available now in weed shops

@ociana60 Did you use the 60-70’s acid or pot? My mom and dad were a potheads but didn’t touch LSD. How were you (and my parents) inoculated while so many of the women seem to have gone full on communist?

@CaliRN619 Not all of us boomers believe the same as your auntie.

@CaryKelly11 @robertlufkinmd Same with pests. If a rodent or bugs won’t eat it, that should tell you not to eat it

If the mold won't eat it, then neither should you. My immune system will violently protest if I forget that. h/t @robertlufkinmd

@KatelynTweeter Exactly! A lot of people who say they are pro-life are actually pro-birth.

If you are pro-life would you ever be willing to adopt an unwanted baby? Trying to prove a point.

Never forget… Dems were able to get a DEI SCOTUS Justice confirmed who couldn’t give the definition of a woman with 50 Dems in the Senate thanks to: Romney Collins Murkowski But the GOP with 53 Senators cant get election integrity passed. What a scam.

@CaryKelly11 Go carnivore and switch to a functional medicine doc

My friend is prediabetic, overweight, has chronic fatigue and a menstrual cycle with symptoms so severe she’s missed 10 days of work this year. The best her doctor could do was tell her to eat more fiber. This is what pisses me off about the sick care industry: Your labs are great so all these other risk factors and issues are meaningless.

@DataRepublican @DataInterpretr @JoelValdezDOW 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Officially credentialed Pentagon press corps as of today, alongside my interpreter @DataInterpretr. First Deaf journalist to hold the badge. Thank you @JoelValdezDOW for moving mountains to make this unique arrangement possible. Naturally, the legacy media is invited to congratulate the Department of War on their commitment to press corps inclusiveness. This wouldn't have been possible without you. Every $3 subscription and every engagement opened this door. Now I'm going to use it. Military institutional capture research starts today.

@RobertDinTulsa Yeah, is there actually any “safe” or good areas left in Tulsa?

I pieced together what TPD told the news as well as what the scanner calls had. Still waiting on more info but, so far, 2 out of 3 calls are linked. It won't surprise me if all three are connected. That area has been horrible since at least the late 70s. We considered it a No-Go zone as kids. No hyperbole. I almost never hear "shots fired" calls over there. Zero drama, 100 trauma.

Tulsa Scanner: I overheard the dispatchers talking on a tactical channel that very few people know how to listen to → Yet another McGirt surprise in store for NE Oklahoma. A coalition of Tulsa area law enforcement has given tribal leaders 90 days to establish their own 911 systems for tribal members only. After that deadline, tribal members that call in to non-tribal 911 systems will be certified as non-tribal, documented and arrested for abusing the non-tribal 911 system. Tulsa - It started raining just before the bars closed at 2AM. White dude called in to report 14 unoccupied vehicles in the intersection of 21st& Garnett, all with varying degrees of damage. TPD and TFD show up on scene. TFD asks why they were dispatched. That’s what the call required. FFS. Homeless dude walks up and said he heard the beginning of it, was woken up by the first crash and watched in amazement the rest of the chaos as Hispanics just kept crashing, opening doors and stumbling as they attempted to flee. TPD ran the VINs but you should be able to guess the rest of that screwy ass scene. Coweta - 97-year-old man in a domestic situation with his 27-year-old baby mama… Sapulpa - Dude called in because his cat was viciously attacking him. First TPD on scene showed up, saw the caller bleeding, applied a torniquet, radio’d it in and dispatch noted the time. Officer went in. Second TPD on scene wondered where the first one was. Called out for him. Pet/home owner wasn’t much help. He was mentally out of it and holding a couple of empty bottles of anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, etc… Officer didn’t answer so he peaked a look inside, quickly retreated and radio’d “man-down”. TFD and EMSA arrive on scene. None of them wanted to go in. Called animal control. They said FTN. Called in SWAT. An hour later, they all determined that it would be easier for the guy to just leave all of his belongings there and start over somewhere else; crossing his fingers that the cat doesn’t follow him. The lady next door just couldn’t believe her eyes and shook her head in disbelief. She turned around, went inside her place and found a spider inside. The neighbors ended up splitting the cost of a motel room that night. Owasso - Frat boys had a wild ass party. First one to pass out woke up with a surprise neck tattoo → Wigger. The guy that ended up with the tattoo called in…because they spelled it wrong out of habit. Sand Springs - Caller reported seeing tire tracks veering off the highway and disappearing into the woods. Responders saw freaky lights in that wooded area just before arriving. They searched for 15 minutes and only found a sign roughly translating to “We stole him. Anal probing in progress. You’re next.” Everyone left except the multi-color haired, overweight dude that identified as a Dungeons & Dragons 52nd level Ranger. Tulsa - A couple were arrested after one of the was reportedly crawling like a dog in a store. It wasn’t the act of one leading the other around on a leash, the barking or eating off of the floor, rather, because the owner refused to pick up after the “dog” left a healthy §hit. Tulsa - Dude was booked in for tattooing his minor childs name on his childs forehead. When confronted, dad said that he knew he had a stupid ass kid and thought he’d help him out by remembering his name, how to spell it, trace the letters, etc… all he needed was a pocket mirror, which he also gifted him. Ding Dong Ditch challenge went sideways with several members of Tulsa's most notorious gang, The 99 Marckqs: 1) Mark – DRT / DOA. 2) Marc – Missing. 3) Marq - DRT / DOA. 4) Marckq – Shot several times. IQ has improved dramatically. 5) Marcus - DRT / DOA. 6) Marquon – Shot several times but the rest of the family are claiming victimhood. 7) Marckquavian – Whereabouts unknown. Blood trail just disappeared. It's suspected that his baby-mama picked him up. He does, afterall, have to provide foe he-is famlee. Tulsa’s fattest recipient of government funds weighing in at 832 lbs, needed to take a healthy shit so…they dispatched all firefighters from 3 stations, taking turns and using the best possible techniques and equipment available, all while being monitored by the City of Tulsa Safety Nazi’s. They learned their lesson the last time she took a shit and they ended up losing way too many firefighters to early, medically-related retirement. Skiatook - Older lady was P.O.d at this young, white kid for riding a dirt bike down her street so she called it in. What really set her off was that he was wearing his hat backwards. Police solved that problem, talked to him and his parents. A few hours later, a black kid did the same damn thing. Once again, she called in. Police showed up pretty quick because the call frequency from that caller isn’t very often but she always tells the truth. Police show up, found the black kid riding the dirt bike on city streets and didn’t see him wearing a hat backwards so they confronted the old lady. Why did you call in on him? Oh…he’s black. Dollar General → 12-year-old girl had a meltdown in the store and quickly went into a panic attack. Her big sister also went in meltdown mode with a subsequent panic attack shortly after her little sister. Mom joined in because she couldn’t calm either one down. Aunt and grandma were also shopping with those three. Yeah, you guessed it. Nightmare. Firefighters showed up to deal with the medical issues and Officers showed up just in case the ladies went berserk and started attacking. Short story…all those responding decided it was easier to quit and find new jobs then to deal with them. Dispatchers got smart and dropped the call instead of losing more firefighters and officers. Tulsa - In a further effort in the War on Drugs, the City of Tulsa announced that they will be changing all “420” addresses; rounding up or down by 2 to 418 or 422. Stoners are planning on a petition to stop it but they can’t find anyone sober enough to pull initiate the process. Wal-Mart - Shots fired. Scratch that. Shooting. Grocery store checkout stand. Lady toting 6 of her 8 kids with her to the grocery store shot the cashier after she told the shopper that the EBT card was canceled so the shopper shot the cashier three times, one shot for each letter…shouting E-B-T. Brother-man married a White girl. She moved in with him and shit went south real quick. She kept hearing stuff and he couldn’t. Verbal arguments turned to physically fighting over that damn noise. Both sides got in good licks but one of the neighbors was done with the dumb shit and called it in. TCSO found the noise. EVERY smoke alarm was chirping. Flagging the address for…well…you know.

@EnochBurke This is so upsetting.

@ThrillaRilla369 No

To the women who are on this app, be honest If you could stay home, raise babies and run a cozy homemaker life.. Would you??

This is how the new mail-in ballot system would work Every ballot envelope will now get a USPS barcode and code with full tracking. One envelope per voter. Why was this not already a thing?

Ketanji Brown Jackson is unfit for the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is supposed to be the one institution in America that isn't a stage. Nine people. Lifetime appointments. No elections. No donors. No campaigns. Just the Constitution. Yesterday the Court ruled 8-1 that Colorado's ban on talk therapy violated the First Amendment. Six conservatives agreed. Both liberal justices agreed. Except Jackson. She wrote a 35-page dissent. Eight justices needed fewer pages to explain the law than she needed to explain why they were all wrong. And read it aloud from the bench. Turning the court into a spectacle. Then Kagan, Obama's appointee, publicly corrected her. Called the case "textbook" viewpoint discrimination. Accused Jackson of "reimagining and collapsing well-settled legal distinctions." Jackson fired back in a footnote. Accused Kagan and Sotomayor of being dupes for the conservative majority. A Supreme Court justice calling her own colleagues political pawns. In a legal opinion. From the bench that exists to be above politics. Every time she loses, she turns on whatever allies she has left. Three separate 8-1 rulings across three years. Lone dissenter every time. Barrett wrote that Jackson "decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary." She has two liberal allies sitting right next to her. They looked at her reasoning and chose the law over her activism. Last term, every justice on the Court agreed with the majority more often than she did. Dead last of nine. In contested cases: 51%. Kagan, same team: 70%. One builds coalitions. One writes 35-page letters to nobody. Majority opinions: 5. Fewest on the Court. Dissents: 10. Most on the Court. Words per oral argument: 1,350. Next closest justice: 900. She talks the most. Writes the longest. Wins the least. Before the Supreme Court she spent eight years on the DC District Court. More of her rulings were overturned than nearly two-thirds of her peers. Reversed unanimously for exceeding her jurisdiction. Tried to overrule Congress on immigration. The court above her said she had no authority. And that court leaned left. Six of ten judges appointed by Democrats. Even they thought she went too far. A judge is supposed to be consistent. States can't ban gender procedures for minors. States have ABSOLUTE power to ban talk therapy for minors. Same justice. Same year. The only variable is which side of the culture war the regulation falls on. A judge is supposed to be honest. Told law students in 2015 that critical race theory informs sentencing. Told the Senate in 2022 that CRT doesn't come up in her work as a judge. One of those was under oath. Can't define the word "woman" in front of the Senate. Celebrates being "the first Black woman" on the Supreme Court on The View. Under oath she's not a biologist. On daytime TV she's making history. A judge is supposed to protect the vulnerable. Federal sentencing guidelines called for 10 years in a child pornography case. She gave 3 months. Her sentencing averaged 57% below national for possession. 47% below for distribution. Every. Single. Case. Below guidelines. A judge is supposed to defend the Constitution. Not treat it as a document to be corrected. She praised the 1619 Project, which argues America's true founding wasn't liberty in 1776 but slavery in 1619. She wrote from the bench that "Our country has never been colorblind." Rejecting the plain meaning of the Equal Protection Clause. She accused the Court itself of enabling "our collective demise." "Let-them-eat-cake obliviousness." "Five-alarm fire." "Moneyed interests." These aren't legal opinions. These are campaign speeches from a chair that's supposed to be above campaigns. Harvard Law. A Supreme Court clerkship. Eight years on the federal bench. She told the Senate she doesn't have "a judicial philosophy per se." But she told the country she's "not afraid to use her voice." She's an activist. Weakest judge of the highest court. Biden had judges with more cases argued before the Court and bipartisan support. He passed over them for the nominee endorsed by Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and Demand Justice. She doesn't want to be a justice. She wants to be a politician. She just skipped the election. I hope you understand what's at stake.

Truth is now considered a right-wing conspiracy. That’s the chilling line from Melanie Phillips that stopped me in my tracks. She explains how we’ve reached a point where simply stating observable reality — whether it’s basic biology defining a woman or pushing back against blanket accusations that all white people are inherently bad — gets you branded as evil. Not wrong. Evil. Therefore you must be silenced, cancelled, or erased. No debate. No evidence allowed. She calls it cultural totalitarianism: a Manichean worldview where one ideology claims a monopoly on goodness, progress, and reason itself. Dissent isn’t argued with — it’s treated as a moral threat that has to be removed. The deepest irony? In an era that smugly ditched religion in the name of superior rationality, we’ve ended up rejecting reason, evidence, and open inquiry altogether. We’re so “rational” we’ve dispensed with the very tools of rationality. It doesn’t add up. Her take has me wondering how we got here — and how quickly disagreement turned into moral excommunication. Anyone else seeing this pattern play out in conversations lately? Where have you felt truth itself become off-limits?

@Rahabtheharlot3 @JonSpeakWrite @timburchett 2/2 The question to ask next, should have been did she look at his account or look him up on the internet to see what his position in gov’t is? Or do you think he should have wrote a half page tweet of political rhetoric to tell her the same thing he said in one short sentence?

@Rahabtheharlot3 @JonSpeakWrite @timburchett So, she has no responsibility to try to familiarize herself with who the players are? I get that Americans are frustrated, and I agree that some of it can and should be categorized as treasonous, but he made a direct factual statement in response to her comment. 1/2

I’m not a Senator.
