Gen X trying to find relevance. I have a husband, 3 sons, and a best friend who lives too far away from me. Introvert who needs distance. No touching.

A static display of an ICBM (probably peacemaker 1 or 2, possibly minuteman) The picture was taken at night. They sky is a red and green due to the Northern lights and the rocket is reflecting the orange glow of the parking lot lights. The photo was taken from the base of the rocket looking up
On Threads, and WH reporter(Jeff Peters) is saying it wasn't exactly staged, BUT ... "Based on the information we have now the attack may not have been staged, but they knew he was coming and they let him through to create chaos and fear in order to further their ballroom bunker agenda. His brother notified police 48 hours in advance, he was on a watch list, people at the venue were warned, Leavitt couldn't resist teasing it just prior, Trump showed no surprise, and his entire dossier was ready for the smug, smiling press conference. They let him through on purpose." There certainly weren't any shocked faces at Trump's press conference afterwards...

Twenty million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday. Today the number may be zero. Not because Iran mined the water. Not because a tanker was hit. Because Lloyd's of London picked up the phone. War risk underwriters began canceling policies for strait transits hours after the Operation Epic Fury launched. The Financial Times confirmed premiums surging 50 percent. Baseline war risk sits at 0.25 percent of hull value. For a hundred million dollar tanker that is 250,000 dollars per voyage. At peak escalation rates, one million per transit. Vessels linked to American or Israeli Interests are becoming uninsurable entirely. No price. No policy. No transit.
SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?
A snowy grocery store parking lot where the cars have crept left about 30° from center because the lines aren't visible and nothing matters anymore.
Uh... that's a liver shape.
Herb Albert's Tijuana Brass "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" LP cover. The cover features a bright green background with the band and album title in a text box in the upper right corner, also in green text. The rest of the cover consists you a young woman with shoulder length brown hair sitting cross-legged(?) Holding a pink rose bud in her left hand. Her pointer finger on her right hand is touched to her lip. She appears to be nude but is otherwise COVERED in whipped cream. A dollop on her head like a facinator tipped forward and whipped cream from her breasts downward.
The body of the text reads thus: As you know, moisture levels in our state are critically low. At the encouragement of the Area Presidency, we invite you to join us in a special fast for moisture on our Fast Sunday, tomorrow February 1, 2026. As we unitedly exercise our faith, and raise our prayers unto the Lord, He will bless us. Of that we are confident!

Framed print of a little white lamb in the foreground standing in mud gazing at the viewer. The background is blurry and consists of straight trees and what appears to be a man detecting Christ as he is approaching the "lost sheep"
Gens Caine and Bradley. Gen Bradley has a look of Righteous indignation while Gen Caine, circled in blue, looks absolutely chagrined to be doing the work of MAGA. Almost as if he knows it's soiling both his uniform and his character. But not quite shameful enough to walk away from the orbit of power. No matter how depraved it becomes.

MEME: Breaking News in the top left corner. The picture; Black Space with hundreds of white, distant stars. The foreground, a Golden Angel Moroni like those found on the top of Mormon temples tilted horizontal, flying west, with the illusion of rocket thrust at it's feet. The Caption: NASA CONFIRMS: Comet 31/ATLAS is on a "strict missionary path" - knocking on every planet asking if they've heard about Kolob. This is a very Mormon coded joke. One that will either amuse of offend every Mormon adjacent person on the internet. There is no middle ground.
