The easy way to make screens & even curtains for any car:

I put bug net hooks around the windows  and sewn them to some canvas backing to make this exact thing, just softer.  Makes the camping trips a lot nicer here too. 

Yes. They will find a nice shady spot after they jump through the screen.

This is brilliant for bugs, but it would also be really nice for keeping pets cool when parked.

Well, looks like Eric Trump’s going to be our new Defense Secretary....

Wish I had this when I slept in my car in Louisiana one night last year. It was either sweat to death or get eaten alive.

None of them know what to do with their hands. They look like noone has picked them for their kickball team.

I guess Trump found Esper’s redline. The guy was an officer with the 101st Airborne before getting out, and also was a light colonel in the National Guard, so he knows exactly what the military can/should do, and what can go terribly wrong.

And now this,

Did you see what he told NBC yesterday?

Esper has lasted almost a year. That’s an impressive achievement in this administration.

Maybe it was something to do with this? Seriously, how fucking awkward is this shit? Just standing in front of a boarded up church in ill-fitting suits, weird postures. Nobody knowing wtf to do with their arms.

Trump doesn’t realize today’s US military isn’t yesterday’s military. Of course we have our racists in the military. But as far as it being like it was then? Negative.

“The killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis policeman is a horrible crime. The officers on the scene that day should be held accountable for his murder. It is a tragedy that we have seen repeat itself too many times. With great sympathy, I want to extend the deepest of condolences to the family and friends of…

Your writing brings up a very pressing point: how do we properly describe a group of Karens?
