I live in a red state. My friends list has been getting smaller and smaller since covid.

I hope their artillery is accurate and plentiful. May the Russians bunch up and N.K troops shoot them in a panic.

Probably worried about his wife getting sent to prison

Archbishop Fisichella also unveiled the official mascot of the Holy Year 2025: “Luce” (Italian for light), a cartoon pilgrim dressed in a yellow raincoat, mud-stained boots, wearing a missionary cross and holding a pilgrim’s staff. Luce’s glowing eyes feature the shape of scallop shells, a traditional symbol of pilgrimage and hope.

The mascot, he said, was inspired by the church’s desire “to live even within the pop culture so beloved by our youth.”

Seems they’re trying evangelize the kids and are going to where they are. Gives me Buddy Christ vibes to be honest.

Some where, there’s a guy in a basement getting a handshake and plaque.

I usually have to use starter fluid first time each year. I beat the shit out of it. Only changed the oil once, when I bought it second hand. I’m really waiting for it to fail to buy electric, but it’s been 3 years and and still going strong.

Israeli military states hamas submarines where using the trawler’s wake to pass through the blockade. After repeated calls for the trawler to stop, hamas submarines fired torpedos and hit the trawler. Due to the proximity of the submarines to the trawler, the submarines where also destroyed. One of the errant hamas torpedoes hit a hospital in northern Gaza. There were no survivors.

My brain starts an argument, then after a couple of tangents, starts focusing on my worries and shit.

'Nam flashback to the Gif/Jif pronouciation wars.

There was a story I read a while back where, during a firefight, the soldier called the manufacturer’s hot line and got his issue fixed. I’d love to hear a soldier screaming over artillery that their stupid HIMARS isn’t accepting the new rockets and Lockheed puts them on hold.

They’re allowed, just incapable.

How do you mess that up? Was it just a person reading from a list when a light came on?

I got a wool blanket. I’m sure there’s away to fold/drape into a cloak.

Just looked into it. just need a pin!
