Conservative media often direct a lot of ire at the “mainstream press” for getting it wrong — and they are often right. But it is only fair to acknowledge that conservative media get it wrong, too. And when it comes to President Trump’s disastrous attempt this year at playing war chief, a whole lot of conservatives got it wrong, this author included. The largest, most powerful, and best-funded military in the history of the world, despite inflicting massive destruction and suffering minimal casualties, was somehow defeated by a shipping channel. Our British cousins must be having flashbacks to the Suez Canal. https://thehill.com/national-security/5930898-iran-strait-hormuz-us-surrender/

Lovely, hope it happens and soon.

Good to hear he is making progress.

Ignore me. I am just a jealous bi***. I hate running because I am lousy at it. Ran the mile in high school because that is what the coach assigned. My brother held the state record for a while. At my one and only meet the bus was waiting at the finish line so I could step aboard and the drive home began. The other guys had showered and ready to go home. My triathlon results were no better. I did not quit.

@Bernard said: @dolmansaxlil Happy belated birthday greetings! Many happy returns of the day! Have you continued quilting? (I haven't made a new top in a few years, but this summer I'll be hand quilting an applique top I made two years ago.) I haven’t quilted in a couple years. I went in a bit of a kick making my own clothing but haven’t been doing a lot of sewing otherwise. I will come back to it at some point!

Happy Father's Day to the WTF dads!

titivating…

@wtg that was a great read, thank you for posting it! My step father was a huge fan of comics in general (and he loved all that merch, the coffee mugs, the t-shirts etc) and he was a pretty big fan of Calvin and Hobbes. I always looked at the Sunday comics growing up and then whenever I had access to a paper. I can't remember when I stopped following Calvin and Hobbes closely (probably when I started studying Japanese and basically stopped consuming English language media of almost all kinds). But I have a vague memory of people talking about the comic ending. I googled and I do remember seeing this last strip. [image: CH.jpg]

@wtg said: As you say, better in someone else's yard. Yep! BTW I have been monitoring the lack eyed susan's in the front of our house, and I'm convinced that the animal doing the eating is a deer. The reason I think that is because the spots that are eaten are in the middle of the bunch, as if a large creature walked up and bent their head down from a height, rather than at the edges, as you might expect with a small creature sitting low to the ground and chewing at that height. This is my current "plant detector" analysis. I remain hopeful that there will still be blooms come July
