I guess they haven't had a reply to this ad yet.

It seems this also includes the U.S. soccer team.

Not very relevant, but: if you wanted it and had 32 million dollars lying around, stately Wayne Manor is for sale. (The realtors don't say whether a Batcave is included.) www.zillow.com/homedetails/...?

"General George Washington Resigning His Commission", by John Trumbull. Long one of my favorites. I can't begin to imagine anyone in the current "administration" contemplating letting go of power like this. So we'll just have to wrest it back from them, I guess. :)

I am soooo looking forward to when one of us can deliver a speech like this to Trump's cronies.

Funny how you can be reading a book about human psychology and run into a description of why your country is running headlong into a landfill.

Is the movie any good? I don't know. I don't care. But the book... the book is a hell of a fun read. :)

There's a building in Iran that has a different take on the situation.

This seems appropriate. Good luck in making your escape.

Seen at a nearby house.

I love Seattle.

True story: I went to the downtown Seattle library to look for some particularly obscure information, went around a corner, and found this.

Happy Valentine's Day. :)

Ukraine has successfully attacked Russia's biggest naval vessels with small, underwater drones. China has developed hypersonic missiles capable of crippling large, slow-moving naval vessels with little warning. Meanwhile, Trump wants to build huge clumsy slow-moving battleships...

"Dr. Stip" put a piece of bread on the ground in Perth, Australia - "practically toasted as it is 38c/100.4f here." Ryan Wright took another slice of bread and put it on the ground in Ottawa, Canada, declaring the two of them had "successfully created an Earth sandwich." Happy Earth Sandwich Day!

And it's not like he'd ever make good on the promise of a gift...

Time for a short break. :)

I suppose we can start here as well as anywhere.

This should be required reading for every single Democrat in the Senate: Republican "promises", at this point in time, are goddamned meaningless. Hold. The. Line.

Reminds me of this cartoon about labor rights. :)

Last month we had the second round of "No Kings" marches, and Trump responded by destroying the East Wing of the White House. This month we had an election which sharply repudiated Repubs, and SCOTUS may soon deprive him of his beloved tariffs. What landmark d'you think he'll destroy this time?

As always, I'm sooooo glad I'm here on BlueSky and not over on that one having the meltdown right now. :)

Once the Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War, Washington could have kept control of the military indefinitely, "dispersed a feckless Congress and obtained for himself and his officers riches worthy of their courage". He didn't. Instead, he renounced absolute power and put his country first.
