Happy 45th anniversary to this pun-tastic international incident.

45 yrs ago today, Soviet Whiskey-class coastal patrol diesel-electric submarine S-363 hit an underwater rock and ran aground about 6.2 miles from the large Swedish naval base at Karlskrona. This international incident—which wags dubbed “Whiskey on the Rocks”—occurred during a Swedish naval exercise.

Call me a Luddite, but I am fine with this not being the case in the U.S.

Chinese auto reviews dont even start with powertain specs anymore, straight into processing power, cockpit OS, lidar type etc. Processing power now more important than horse power to consumers

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Y'all don't get that the ACA was truly transformative change? That Biden's BBB bill was transformative, so was the Maternal Health iniative and the student loan forgiveness program. I think your issue here is that YOU personally don't feel that YOU personally have benefitted.

Whenever pundits talk about how difficult something is for a driver I do kind of think..."ok? It should be?" Seems mad a driver can't work out how far wide they can drive. Figure it out!

Opinion | As a principled Republican who came of age in the Reagan/Bush era, I find myself agreeing more with Democrats than Trump’s Republicans on the most fundamental issues of our democracy. Here’s why I’ll still be voting straight ticket Republican.
