I like Earl Grey, hot, with milk. The kids call this a “Dirty Picard.”

I recommend watching the movie Mr. Jones if you’d like to learn more about the Holodomor.

I agree. This recognition sends a signal to would-be genocidal regimes in Europe that they’re not going to get away with things like they might have in the past.

Can someone Australian explain why there was so much opposition to this?

I just don’t understand who he thinks is going to vote for him. The number of centrist conspiracy theorists who will vote for a former Democrat has got to be vanishingly small.

Of course neither of the book banners was willing to speak about their efforts on the record. They know how bad it looks, two people churning out paperwork to gum up the public schools.

It’s a little surprising to me that he’s still posting on Instagram. I’d have thought someone who defied the Russian government wouldn’t be flouting it in the open. But I guess he probably knows better than most what they’re actually capable of, or maybe he knows that chasing down draft dodgers on the other side of the world isn’t a high priority right now.

Great choice. I was going to recommend Sweet Baby Ray’s, but Stubbs is pretty similar.

I grew up in CA but now live in the southern US. I get really tired of hearing this. Yes, the cost of living is ridiculous and the wildfires are terrible. But it’s actually a lovely place, on balance, and I enjoy my visits. The folks here seem to think CA is a crime-ridden urban hell.

Interesting look at the mayoral race in Montgomery, AL. The incumbent mayor has done a good job, but he’s Black. The White good ol’ boys network has recruited some guy from Florida to run against him and regain their seat of power.

I suspect it’s less due to the rhetoric of Donald Trump & more due to the influence of Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson & Joe Rogan.

Now they’re going to be exes and ohs.
