Some Americans were Army brats as kids — their parents were career military people so they lived all over the world. Me? USAID brat who lived in Ibadan, Nigeria. May the orishas favour you and your loved ones.

Because #Zelensky does not wear a suit and tie. They’re still holding that over his head.
But come up with a better trending term than that. Like “Dee Capitalization”. I mean, it’s kinda got the word “capitalism” in it. That’ll go down way smoother
This will probably work as well as the parental controls on Xbox 360 did. In other words, not at all.
Nope. You get your own personal army. 😏 #cynicism
Gee… I wonder if this could be the first steps of our #president building his own personal #military force. Could it be?
Your observations kind of remind me of those #NateBargatze has. @natebargatze.bsky.social
Source please. Thanks.
big tech hasn't come up with anything paradigm-shifting and useful since the smartphone in 2008 and I'm tired of all the shit they keep shoving down our throats trying to recapture that high
A legend!!!!
Loved him on the #RedGreen Show.
#OnTheOtherHand, if she got paid time and a half or double time for working on Labor Day, more power to her.
Here’s what Bob Keeshan’s Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabbit originals sold for at auction in 2013.
There was a squirrel? Oh I know: Rocky and Bullwinkle. Captain Kangaroo had Bunny Rabbit.
Phew! I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers CapKang, #MrMoose & the ping-pong balls!
@ a former place I voted in #Mich yrs ago, I noticed: It’s near a single family home suburb that votes mostly Repub. Inside, 4 lines. Two often longer than the others. Long lines = ppl who live in apt & condo clusters. Lines w short or no lines: single-family home precincts. Does that seem fishy?
Is this bragging? #Puzzled
@stacy17.bsky.social
So this really is a problem? How many of y’all been pouring #vodka in your wash machine? @stacy17.bsky.social
I queried the #ConsumerReports app to see if they’d reviewed #vodka brands. Did not think I’d get a #Laundry warning…
Today is #LaborDay. I just looked out my window and saw an #Amazon worker deliver a package to my neighbor’s porch. She was a young African-American woman. Think. It’s LABOR DAY. Why does she have to work on this, of all days? Do you really need your package that fast? #Boycott Amazon.
#Dada !
Bingo
And give them their own very remote island to start their own nation. I hear hear #Kerguelen is really cool. They should be able to buy it from #France or offer them some kind of good trade. How about all US #escargot reserves? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerguel...
🚨BREAKING: In a landmark victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the state Legislature’s gerrymandered congressional map and reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I applied 2 be on citizen-comprised redistricting cmte here in MI. Wasn’t picked. Selection not totally random: Restrictions in place to secure a politically, demographically diverse group. I’m a white, 60+ Dem gal. They prolly had plenty of those apply. No sour grapes. Group should be diverse.
Amen!

#CrackerBarrel
🚨BREAKING: A Utah court just struck down a GOP gerrymander that dismantled a voter-approved redistricting commission and silenced voters. Today’s ruling is a reminder that democracy is worth defending. Let’s keep pushing.
@xelansignal.bsky.social seems to be a bit like #QAnon in the sense that it’s trying to create mystery and make you think an eerie conspiracy is afoot. Could just be a publicity stunt or the beginnings of an ad campaign. Xelansignal established its presence in 2018, so it’s not new anymore.
Mediate or meditate?
Also: One can buy plenty of NEW merchandise on #EBay. It’s not just for used and collectible things.

The weather map on my weather app says Gulf of America I just noticed. Obviously they get the weather information from the federal government.
E-Bay is your friend in that case. I found eBay to be wonderful. Just make sure you only order from US sellers and that they have a 98% or higher satisfaction rating.
I’m a comparative Neanderthal — just antennas for my 3 TVs. One is a smart TV I can use w. my WiFi connection. That, plus $5/ month for PBS Passport. That’s plenty for me.

In a way, it just has, though.

Interesting how the fine print under Pete’s pic is illegible. If it actually said something this might be more convincing.
Nope. Too many punches already. On all sides. Time for something new.
Actual link to a real source please. Thanks. #CriticalThinking.
Practically speaking, the only way 2 do that is 2 1st address health insurance industry’s root fear of collapse/mass joblessness. Too many ppl — from insurance CEOs all the way down 2 claims processors — fear loss of their jobs…and relevance. They’ll erect walls until we address their fears.
Pete’s calm, mature, well-informed #Midwestern approach is a true asset — a stark contrast 2 polarized, sky-is-falling, rabid extremes of both parties. He gives me hope in the midst of screaming toddlers. Now just clean up @actblueorg.bsky.social’s approach & I’ll start to donate again. Godspeed.

Cool! #TIL! Now I want to watch the “Wonderful World of the #BrothersGrimm “ in #Cinerama again! I saw in 1st run at an #STL #theater when I was 3 or 4. The dragon and creepy singing bone scared the hell out of me! www.dailymotion.com/video/x2vt9b6

ALL #missing persons are important, not just the young,white, female ones. www.aol.com/nearly-dozen...
Ahh. Live action as opposed to animated, I gather.
“In conclusion…” says every #AI generated explanation, ever. Right after it tells you the entire history of timekeeping…when all you asked was “What time is it?”
Today I idled in traffic behind a beat-up old pickup truck. Its owner had taken time to adhere a political sentiment to its rear window. 6” tall pieces of red, white & blue tape spelled: FUCK WHITMER * Beyond shock value, what does the owner hope it accomplishes? * Mich. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D)
This, I do not understand. Maybe you were a pig roasted on a spit in your last life. 🤷♀️
I sure hope so! The longer I live, the less I know.
If I still remember the joke 60 years later, it must’ve left quite an impression on me!

Haha. That’s the article I read that caused me to find and tell you! 😎👍🏻

Reminds me of one I heard in first grade back in 1965 or ‘66: Q: What did the boy octopus sing to the girl octopus? A: “I wanna hold your hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand…”
Strongly recommended! "...filmmaker Eric D. Seals proposes an ambitious idea: Bike together (with his father) from St. Louis to Chicago...they find a deeper connection and a renewed appreciation of their quests for their own health and to reimagine Black health." www.pbs.org/independentl...
I just viewed this #documentary. Worth watching, especially for anyone who’s from #Chicago, #StLouis and all #Illinois points between.
@waywordradio.org Re. wee room in the 1921 house: LARDER immediately came to my mind. A larder is a room where food is stored b4 prep. Also, there was a concrete floored area nearby. Concrete is COOL. In pre-fridge days that’d be desirable. www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/e...

Two months after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, in June 2022, Idaho’s trigger ban outlawing most abortions—one of the strictest nationwide—took effect. According to a new peer-reviewed paper study, Idaho lost more than a third of its OBs—94 of 268 total—afterwards.
Nope. Or not anymore. I just went here and found them alive and kicking… constitution.congress.gov/constitution/
Today is the 94th anniversary of #BixBeiderbecke death. Listening to his top #tunes right now. youtu.be/wHalqut8RTw?...
@filmfest.bsky.social (2 of 2) I couldn’t believe it when I got to the film’s end: I was watching it on the exact day 94 years when #BixBeiderbecke died on this date — August 6, 1931. I wonder if his ghost visited me. 🤷♀️ www.kanopy.com/video/12101593
@filmfest.bsky.social (1 of 2) I just finished watching #BrigitteBergman documentary re life of #BixBeiderbecke. Pure chance led me to it after I entered the word #jazz in my library’s #Kanopy app & that was a film that came up. …
@stacy17.bsky.social
The #CDC, #HHS, #FDA and #USDA have been unplugged. They now operate via hand cranks. Here’s a source for science backed vaccine and other health information. Unplugged acoustic music is cool; unplugged health and medicine not.
Thank you very much!
Best #bargain on the block… @pbs.org Passport.
Lorem ipsum is so handy when I write a Yelp review that Yelp thinks is too short.
@vaxyourfam.bsky.social Have you a website? Or can you recommend one for reliable vaccine and other health info now that the #CDC, #HHS, #FDA and #USDA have unplugged?
Being informed about vaccines means knowing that ingredients like gelatin and aluminum aren’t scary; they’re there for specific, science-based reasons. Knowledge beats worry every time. @voices4vaccines.bsky.social #NIAM2025 #firstdayvax
📈 A record 4.1% of kindergartners had vaccine exemptions last school year. That’s 138K kids at risk. Let’s protect classrooms get #FirstDayVax ready. 🛡️📚 #NIAM2025 www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
