Regardless of your opinion on Operation Epic Fury or your political affiliation, we have the greatest military in the world. Its strength lies not just in power, but in the courage, discipline, and sacrifice of our troops. God bless our men and women in uniform.

Best version of this song. Not allowed to have an opinion on it....just saying.

Ya know, I always wonder why his second term is so much different than his first term, but man, this dude has too much free time on his hands, who cares about this bunny loser? Don't like his anti-American show? Watch the Turning Point Half time show with Kirks wife, who probably spent the show banging one of his friends in back of their car or banged Kid Rock after the show.

Trump did know.. he had an alternative to watch, right?

Trump's not wrong about this opinion, I'm just saying, no one cares about the Superbowl or it's halftime anti-American Woke Show.

The truth is, the NFL does not cater to Conservatives or anyone who are 'enemies' to the Democrat Party and their Woke ideology, the NFL has been woke, has been anti-American for years now, it ain't changing, Mr President!

So, stop giving idiotic, anti-American, woke celebrities like Bunny, so much undeserved attention and focus on doing your job, as President!

All you're doing is giving these celebrities more promotion and making them more popular.

This weekend, I tried my hand at baking with rye flour for the first time.
I usually stick to wheat, spelt, or mixed grain breads, but this time I was determined to bake a pure rye loaf.
For context, rye is a bit special. You can't just use a good yeast and be done with it. Instead, it's a process that requires cultivating a sourdough starter and carefully controlling the dough's resting time; otherwise, the bread won't be digestible.
The conditions were finally right, so I made time for it... and the result is fantastic (unfortunately, I have no pictures). In my opinion, it's the best-tasting bread I've baked so far. The texture and the slightly sour aftertaste are perfect.
Baking bread has truly become a passion of mine 😅

Lately, When I express my genuine thoughts and concerns, it feels like a form of punishment.

This happens both at work, in meetings where input is supposedly valued, and in my personal life. My attempts to voice a concern or a different perspective are often dismissed as pessimism, exaggeration, or even egomania. It seems I am being penalized simply for having an opinion and for caring enough to be concerned.

Increasingly, I feel that I am being passively silenced—not with a direct command, but with subtle cues and reactions that make thinking feel like a forbidden act. I am being reduced to a sounding board, a wall for others to shout at, with no expectation of a reciprocal conversation. My role is not to contribute, but to absorb.

And then, people wonder. They wonder why I am burning out, why my energy and creativity have evaporated, why my motivation has dwindled to nothing. They don't see the cumulative weight of being silenced.
I notice that the situation is gradually affecting my body. I currently only sleep with a tight chest and painful breathing, and I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing.

My work is such a weird place,I get along with pretty much everyone but there are some CRAZY opinionated people out there. I won't go into some of the stuff that I don't agree with there but I just keep my head down and keep on working. I have a co-worker who I think likes me but is way too young for me anyways,and is in a relationship...??? Uh,oook??? Either that or they are scared of me like a few customers are who just openly judge people,I get along with most people and customers so it's whatever lucky I have a place to walk to at least...Update: So today when I was on my break I took out a container from the break room microwave,as I needed to hear my food,I was sitting down listening to music,the co-worker totally like freaked out because her container was out of the microwave,yep. common sense is starting to get lost in my workplace no doubt.....

I'm at the verge of crying every day...Wednesdays and Thursdays are always the hardest work days for me currently. I practically have to drag myself to work everyday and it's hardest on these days.
Next Monday I have a 1:1 with my boss...I hope I can address the issues. Although I would prefer to talk to another person First to get their opinion before taking to my boss. I think that would be more strategic but I will not have a meeting with them until next Wednesday. And I don't think I can wait this long...the longer leave this unresolved the more anxiety I'm developing about this. It's such a dilemma: be strategic and tall to the righ person first, but deal with my fears and anxiety a week longer or just talk to my boss directly without having that other insight. I feel so burdened by it. And no one can really help me except those 2 supervisors. So I have to carry this until they have one for me.
I can barely focus on the little work I do have and that makes my anxiety even worse because I feel even more useless and like I'm not performing well that makes and my fears that they are planning to let me go even worse...

While the UK is distracted by the welfare reform bill; three bills have gone unnoticed and are heading for the house of lords that truly do strip free expression and freedom of speech in the UK. People often knock Keir Starmer for being an idiot but my opinions have changed recently, he knows what he's doing, whipping up people in a frenzy so other bill can pass unnoticed is stroke of genius.

They are in essense aimed at stripping free speech and expression futher: Third party offence bill: For instance if you are in a pub and a customer stays something that offends a customer or employee; you have to report it. I haven't got around to reading the other bills yet but they are very loose with definitions and open to abuse.

In other news the Global Expression Report, (gauges free countries) has put the UK at 75% in the red! Canada and Australia having a higher score than UK; in the green which is distrubing if you have been following the news.
