@jaunty Hi buddy! Good morning!

@redenigma Onward, toward the dawn!

@Graci Only half? That number seems low, but I remember my school being thunderdome.

@dauphin87 When I take the time to clean it before taking a picture, most def.

@damselfly59 @k_ratoncita Howdy neighbor. I'm glad they are there to take care of it.

@Vozy Ive been much concerned! I was going to call you today, but I'll wait till you feel better.

i figure life was just keeping us both busy, but Ive noticed youve been quiet here.

I miss you brother and think of you all the time. You are dearly loved.

@tyghebright @MLClark That has happened to me too.

About a year ago I woke up and I felt like I was sleeping above the body, curled up in tight little ring, my muzzle resting on my forepaws and then something grabbed and I got slammed down, my eyes snapped open and I was gasping. Hard way to wake up.

@tyghebright @MLClark speaking as a cryptid, it’s a great line.

@ImagineThat is truly relatable to my own experience. It’s just a strange kind of scary

@zoidette good morning Bhunee!

It is the balance that holds all life.

@MLClark @BosmangBeratna And going even further back, the Sykes-Picot agreement drew much of the border lines of what is the modern Middle East, facilitating modern conflicts because it paid no attention to cultural differences but was instead about preserving colonial hegemony.

@scottyorange The answer is "Don't ask questions Morty"

@MLClark @BosmangBeratna There was also our support of the Shah in Iran that created one of our biggest enemies in the Middle East.

Iran had a democratically elected govt that we overthrew, and thirty years later we paid the price for it and now the whole world is paying the price.

@JeSsA Oh heavens! I wish you a quick recovery!

@danialexis People can't afford housing, they can't afford food, they have tenuous job prospects, and childcare as you said is through the roof.

Its not exactly difficult math from where I'm standing.

@MLClark @BosmangBeratna The greatest thing America could do for the world is for us to start living up to the ideals we hold.

@1Firewire Well, the Rubles will probaby be very helpful for him when he flees the country and moves to Moscow.

@MLClark @BosmangBeratna

It's been biting the west in the keister for time immemroial too. Vietnam and beyond. That and short term thinking that is biased only to the West's benefit.

I've often argued that America can be a very fair weather friend and ally, which only makes for more rage, which only drives recruitment.

@Lucky188 @wolfwoman They blatantly and deliberately dropped that tag line and created a new company to distance themselves from the concept.

This may be cynical but, while the younger Google seemed more focused on innovation and progress I am fairly convinced they were always mercenary.
