It’s cool, Toto. It’s cool.

Gotta hear something out here on deck from fellow Army veteran Jimi Hendrix.

This is Walter, named for Walter Payton of the Chicago Bears. It’s a 1966 Chevy half ton pickup truck purchased for $360 by my oldest son Ryan in 2000 when we lived in Kansas. He was 14, had his learner’s permit and had money he earned delivering newspapers and mowing lawns. I had to teach him the fine art of shifting a “three on the tree.” After Ryan was KIA in Iraq, Walter was restored to how Ryan planned to have it done. I take it to car shows when possible because my boy would if he could.

I think it’s time to share it again.

I had to look up Katie Hopkins but this is some funny shit.

Ike wasn’t a perfect POTUS; none of them are, of course, and definitely not tRump at all. But Ike, who would definitely be considered a RINO these days in “MAGA world,” wasn’t wrong here.

“Down the long lane of the history yet to be written America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect."
-- President Dwight Eisenhower, Farewell Address, January 1961

This is brilliant.

Inspired by some fellow Cars fans here in the fediverse, I bring you what many consider the best tune on their 1978 debut album. You’re very welcome. 😎

I love watching righties lose their shit over stuff like this. I mean, it’s absolutely fucking glorious.

It’s amazing how there are people who deny stuff like this ever happened. Even when there’s information to the contrary.

I’m nearly 60 and I love a good neighborhood-type ACE hardware store where you can go in and ask someone who works there “Bungee cords?” and he instantaneously responds with “Aisle 47.” Kickass.

"A sickness known as hate. Not a virus, not a microbe, not a germ - but a sickness nonetheless, highly contagious, deadly in its effects. Don't look for it in the Twilight Zone - look for it in a mirror.
Look for it before the light goes out altogether." - Rod Serling, “The Twilight Zone”

I don’t know who Kristen Hodges is other than a little bitch but it looks like DG politely told her to fuck off.

One of the funnier things I’ve seen today.

Change my mind.
