@FieldGulls Absolutely terrible. Please send him away.

[Brad B @bradleyb01]

@FieldGulls I’ve seen enough of him in a Seahawks uniform. He is not good.

I consider myself a man of order, but my neighbor Ray is an absolute fanatic of geometry.

Ray is a retired fire captain. His front lawn looks like a billiard table, and his green garden hose is not rolled—it is coiled in perfect, mathematical concentric circles with zero twist, zero overlap, and the nozzle pointing precisely at true north.

One Saturday, I unrolled my own cheap orange hose to wash my car. When I finished, I threw it onto its plastic reel in wild, chaotic loops.

Ray was standing at his property line with his arms folded, watching this performance with the expression of a monk watching someone graffiti a temple.

He walked over, picked up my hose, and unspooled the entire fifty feet onto the grass.

"You're strangling the rubber," Ray said, his voice flat. "A twisted hose reduces water pressure by fifteen percent and creates internal stress fractures. You're executing your equipment."

He took my hands and positioned them on the vinyl.

"Over, under. Over, under. Let the natural memory of the material dictate the loop," he instructed.

For forty-five minutes, under the blazing sun, a retired fire captain taught me the ancient, sacred art of hose management. I was not allowed to leave until I created a coil that met his structural standards.

"Acceptable," Ray finally grunted, inspecting my work with a tape measure. "Now your water will arrive when you need it."

I laughed at the absurdity of needing water that fast in suburbia. "Ray, I'm just washing a Toyota."

Ray didn't laugh. He looked at the coiled orange vinyl at our feet.

"In 1994, we responded to a basement fire on Elm Street," Ray said softly. "The line was twisted on the rig. It kinked twice inside the doorway. It took us forty-two seconds to clear the tangle and get pressure to the nozzle."

He adjusted his hat.

"Forty-two seconds is a long time when someone is upstairs," he said. "How you handle the line when there's no fire determines how you handle it when there is one."

He turned and walked back to his yard.

The next weekend, I bought a commercial-grade rubber hose. I spent thirty minutes coiling it. Over, under. Over, under. Perfect concentric circles. No kinks.

When I looked up, Ray was watching from his porch.

He didn't say a word. He simply raised his coffee mug half an inch in the air.

A warrior does not need praise. He only needs acknowledgment from the master of the craft. My hose is ready for war.

@LeaderJohnThune @TaxCuts Save America Act is the only thing we care about right now. So kindly shut up and get it passed. Respectfully and peacefully.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

My fellow citizens of the free world,

I stand before you not as a politician seeking power, but as a human being who still believes in something simple and sacred:

That every nation has the right — and the duty — to protect its own people first.

If I were British, I would vote Restore.
If I were German, I would vote AfD.
If I were Italian, I would follow Giorgia Meloni without hesitation.
And if I were American, I would vote Republican. Every single time.

Not out of hatred.
Not out of fear.
But out of love.

Love for the country that raised me.
Love for the culture that shaped me.
Love for the children who will inherit whatever we leave behind.

There is a force in this world — quiet, patient, and immensely powerful — that has decided our nations must be broken.
It does not come with tanks.
It comes with open borders, with endless guilt, and with the soft language of “human rights” and “equality.”

It uses people from distant lands as instruments.
It tells us that to resist is to be cruel.
It tells us that to prefer our own people is to be evil.

And so the left sings its beautiful songs of compassion…
while our cities change beyond recognition,
while our women walk in fear,
while our children are taught to be ashamed of their own history,
and while the very idea of a people, a homeland, a shared destiny is slowly erased.

They promise utopia.
What they deliver is something much darker.

A future where free nations collapse into managed chaos…
and where the only ones left standing are the strongmen who never believed in our soft illusions —
the Putins, the Xis, the Kims, and the African dictators who laugh at our self-destruction.

Is that the future you want?
To become the servants of those who never pretended to care about “diversity”?

I am not against the world living in peace.
I am not against friendship between nations.
I am not against human kindness.

I am against the deliberate destruction of the only homes we have.

A rational human being understands a simple truth:

First, a people must be secure in their own land.
First, a nation must protect its own children.
Only then can it offer genuine friendship to others.

You cannot share what you no longer possess.
You cannot welcome the world when your own house is on fire.

So I say this with all the force of my heart:

Defend your people.
Defend your culture.
Defend your future.

Not because you hate others —
but because you still love yourselves enough to survive.

That is not extremism.
That is not hatred.
That is the most basic, most human form of love there is.

And if we lose the courage to say it…
then we will lose everything else as well.

@christinarose_e @Twitch @FinalFantasy Congrats on partner! I played and finished this game on NES when it first came out while I watched my oldest daughter as I got off a few hours before she did. She was just a baby and sat in a carrier with a bottle in her mouth and was very content to watch. A very good memory. :)
