  11. RE: mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYo

    Anyone with military experience (and most people without this experience) who is watching the wars in Ukraine and Iran should understand that drones help the military win wars. Whisky Pete Hegseth decided to eliminate a drone battalion in the United States. How drunk was he when he made that stupid decision?

  15. Alcohol: No amount of drinking is healthy!

    Brad Pitt just started drinking again. The media, probably sponsored by the alcohol industry, is promoting the idea that resuming drinking alcohol might not be so bad.

    This is insidious #propaganda !

    If you are an #alcoholic , stay strong! Do NOT drink.
    I am proud of you for staying sober.

    I was not an alcoholic, and didn’t drink much. I had a drink, and then quit drinking, on a whim, 3 years ago. Now I feel no urge to drink. As a surprising side-effect, my thinking has improved, a lot! I want to stay smart.
