@Alfred Historically, what has been the most stable and beneficial form of human government?

First time making "loafs." It was an enjoyable bake, and my friend with the bad teeth will be able to eat it no problem. Win-win! #holiday #dinner

Since the day we found you under that car demanding attention, you were your own cat. Thank you for allowing us to share the last 16 years with you Ittle. Goodbye. We will miss you. #caturday

Thank you. #veterans

Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and
flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.

Watching a marathon of The LoTR extended 4k movies today, and I'm at the end of The Two Towers where Merry and Pippen have just discovered the food larder. Never noticed this in dozens kof viewings, but as he steps onto the door Merry is holding a glass flask. When the scene cuts to the larder's interior, he's holding a cheese and an apple. Oops. #movies #lotr

Woke up this morning to .. Mountail Goats. Yeah, that happened. This isn't the half of them. They were literally everywhere. 😂

Government contracts are lucrative. Got the order from the C levels today to block TikTok effective immediately. We're not even a defense contractor, but we "know" more than a few. Whoever first suggested the roll-downhill security requirement is a freaking genius. My hat's off. 🫡 #information #security #cyber

He used to think highly of Prigozhin too. #politics
