Damn good article, if you're into this type of thing, about the 2018 battle in Syria where US Special Forces fought Wagner Group Mercenaries & others.
Didn't know how razor thin the margin of error was for US forces.

Hey Coso Crew! Principal photography has wrapped on UNBILLIEVABLE! I am humbled and grateful to be a part of this film. I learned so much and gained new friendships along the way. I'm so excited for all of you to see this movie when it's released to the world this fall. Here are some pics behind the scenes. #unbillievable #gobills
The one thing I miss the most about the internet before social media took over the majority of online interactions was the actual art of webrowsing.
Wikipedia is kinda like it but it is too sanitized to really give the feel we used to have.
You could start by looking for a movie quote, and three hours later end up on some geocities webpage where a guy is talking about his two pet cheetahs.
In between? Who effin knows!
There were broken and frustrating things, but it was *unique*.
Just keep this comic in your mind as all your friends who play video games geek out over the new Zelda game.
I blame @misslovelymess for getting this stuck in my head this morning.
Way too early to rocking out to the banger from Kaytranada.
Always one of my favorite panels of Sandman (and it was in the first few books of the whole damn series!)
As spoken by Lord Morpheus aka Dream and the titular "Sandman".
Neil Gaiman is a unbelievably talented and I am grateful of his existence.

You can't have community if you're automatically shitting all over anyone who doesn't agree with you. #justsayin

Please remember, sometimes friction between folks arises because they all care about the same thing and have different ideas for how to respond.
Good intentions are at the foundation.

Start your day with something really weird.
Billy Jean by Michael Jackson, but every instrument is a spring door stopper.
Some days you just need the wisdom of the Carl.
Perfect for days like today.

Louder, for the cheap seats:
How it works is, you post a post that has no purpose but to farm outrage.
I click on your profile and review the rest of your posts. Are you interacting in any way with this community? Or is hateful bile all you've got?
If you are a real person, then you don't get blocked. If all you post is amped up political rhetoric, then you can fuck right off.
It's not just #selfcare. It's now a necessary public service.
This song goes so effin hard. I couldn't believe it was Fallout Boy when I first heard it.
There are some really creative rythyms in the vocals that elevate this from "just another pop song" to something special.
I've managed to not just gush day after day about #XenobladeChronicles3 by sheer force of will.
Same will apply for #FutureRedeemed but let the record show that this game is how you write a love letter to your fans.
I truly hope you find something in life that you adore as much as I adore this damn game.

Let's talk about ratios.
No. Not like the other place.
Your ratios.
Have you fallen into the role of Doomposter? Are you predominantly sharing all the bad news you find elsewhere & your ongoing frustration with the world?
Our community is what we make it.
Your ratio matters.
Go on. Take a look at your TL.
I'll wait.

If it's looking a bit sketchy, perhaps challenge yourself to balance out the, often, rightful anger with seeing beauty, humour and the good things.
Caveats in thread.

Outta here for the rest of the day to read some books with my great grand kiddo under a tree in a hammock
The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle, and this lil darling has my heart and just makes me smile
Northcross is super smooth and doesn't have as much "burn" as you'd expect from a 86 proof drink.
It could be a bit more flavor to make it more distinctive but that's me nit picking
Old Forrester was one of my favorite discount spirits because it had better flavor and finish than bourbons twice its price.
The problem is that in the two years I have found it, the price has been going up steadily. If you can still find it cheap it's my #1 choice.
But Northcross Irish Whiskey is something new I tried out today due to to wanting to find a new bargain basement spirit that punches above it's weight. I'm happy to say we have a contender.
