Bought myself an early birthday present. Going to teach myself how to play the mandolin. Been playing guitar for over forty years - these frets are so tiny! My first song I'll learn is going to be Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

@cassandra17lina perfect summation!

Alito's cavalier attitude relit an anger I thought I left well behind me. Judicial reform is so overdue - for lots of reasons.

A commencement worth the read. The man isn't perfect. Unlike his opponent, he doesn't claim to be perfect. You can't read his words and not believe he's working for all of us. The contrast is stark.

@Eulimnadian @tgraph52 I'm buying!

@tgraph52 @Eulimnadian I just hope I live long enough to see his demise. It's an obit I look forward towards! I know only the good die young, but he's on the clock!

@Eulimnadian how long before cholesterol does its duty? He'll be lucky to live long enough to see the anniversary of his coup attempt. He's melting.

Pretty much where we are.

"Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is sitting in the defense section between Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Eric Trump."
Yeah, he surrounds himself with the best people.

@kjo I'd like to see them arm wrestle instead.

@dauphin87 December of 2026 by the time appeals run out.

@Zeroshot can't they just have a pillow fight instead?

@DevinY1 because he doesn't have any real friends. Even his wife won't be seen anywhere near him and she's not the best judge of character obviously.

@northernbassist man that's a lot of dials! Looks cool.

@Lulz4l1f3 unreal - wow.
