 Happy 99th birthday to President Jimmy Carter, a good person if there ever was one. Here is a TED talk by him that I share from time to time. 
"Why I believe the mistreatment of women is the number one human rights abuse"

 General Mark A. Milley Relinquishment and Retirement Ceremony. Milley's final remarks as a uniformed Service member begin at 1:08:30. 

The real meat starts at 1:22:50 - please listen. We know who the "wannabe dictator" he mentioned is. He thrashed Trump for calling us "suckers" and "losers" and dissing our wounded Service members. He spoke for us. #veterans

 @3e3ce96c Oh dang. It was a lot of poking fun at the bags under his eyes (which have multiplied x3 in the past 5-6 years). Head of SPACECOM.

 #Firefly Aerospace just set a new responsive-launch record. Its Alpha rocket lifted off from #Vandenberg SFB on Thursday just 27 hours after the U.S. Space Force gave the order — less time than on any previous national security mission, demonstrating the "Space Force can rapidly integrate capabilities and will respond to aggression when called to do so on tactically relevant timelines" #space #DOD #military #USSF #USSPACECOM https://www.space.com/firefly-aerospace-rapid-launch-space-force-success 
 Starting off your new anchor position on Meet the Press by interviewing Trump? It seems to me equivalent to just standing in front of the camera and dumping a bucket of blood all over yourself. Despicable attention whoring to platform a lunatic loser, criminal, rapist, and #traitor who openly wants to dismantle the United States and sell it. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/just-in-kristen-welker-to-interview-trump-in-her-first-episode-anchoring-meet-the-press/ 
 @e814e036 Report to mastodon.social as impersonation and spam. Use the three dots next to the account name. I just did.

 @7bec3255 I'll have to buy a car soon and I want the dumbest car I can get. I hate where the car industry has turned into the social media industry, i.e., everything we do is the product.
