Weird thing was, this guy and his girlfriend “bought” me because he needed his VW towed, and knew I would be able to keep it out of the ditch while he pulled me down the highway by a chain. So, off we went at lunch to tow the Bug down the road. Closest I’ve ever come to driving a Volkswagen. The gal made me wear her pantyhose. That was just gratuitous. Oh, wait. My kid has a Jetta I’ve driven. But its mostly Audi I think. ---

Senior slave day? I guess I went to a pretty nice moderate school. Middle class for sure. All races. And of course we had the - Brains - Jocks - Drama Club (Theater) - Stoners - Music We all got along just great. ---

I wonder if it’s significant that the feminine name he would pick for himself is Crystal and he married a woman named Kristi. ---

People make weird choices. I know two trans women who both go by “Lily”. (Well, technically, one is Lily and the other is Lilly.) They are in the same social circles and i typically see them at the same events. One of them just transitioned a couple weeks ago. I’d think with so many names out there, she’s have chosen something else. But nope, she’s Lilly. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > The boys at my school wore short skirts one day to “protest” because girls could wear skirts, but they couldn’t wear shorts. God, we were dumb. See, I think that is the kind of protest you should have in HS. It’s protesting a double standard. Gives kids a learning experience in protesting without serious repercussions. Everyone can cringe later, but at the time, people get to see what happens when you go against the norm. Maybe good, maybe bad, but you learn how far to go. Better to do stupid shit in HS than as an adult. Given that, some of you people! “Slave day”? I would have said fuck that shit, nip it in the bud, right there. Though it wasn’t as bad, I “just said no” to a different hazing ritual, and it’s the thing people still remember about me. Best lesson I learned in HS. ---

**Washington, D.C.** — Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, wrote to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin [demanding answers](https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/imo/media/doc/20260501garciatodhsrecoastguardquarters1.pdf) on why fired former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is still living in a taxpayer-funded United States Coast Guard residence nearly two months after President Trump fired her. “Kristi Noem got fired in March and she is still living rent-free in a government home that belongs to the Coast Guard. The Trump Administration can’t explain why, nor do they seem to care. This same Administration threw out the Coast Guard Commandant with three hours of notice to make room for Noem, and even though she’s been fired from her government role, she won’t leave government housing. Secretary Mullin owes us answers and Noem must pack her bags and go,” **said Ranking Member Robert Garcia.** In the letter to Secretary Mullin, Ranking Member Garcia wrote, **“On January 21, 2025, President Trump removed Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her position and evicted her from the historic Quarters 1 residence with only three hours’ notice, despite the Coast Guard giving Admiral Fagan a 60-day waiver to find new housing. Then-Secretary Noem moved into Quarters 1, reportedly without a requirement to pay rent or reimburse the federal government for her use of the residence. Although DHS’s spokesperson described Noem’s stay as temporary, Noem was living in Quarters 1 when President Trump fired her on March 5, 2026. On April 23, 2026, the Wall Street Journal reported that ex-Secretary Noem was still there, nearly two months after her firing.”** ---

Isn’t she now serving as the Shield of the Americas or some other Marvel cosplay bullshit the administration made up that doesn’t do anything? (To be honest, I’d rather she be paid to do nothing than whatever she was doing at DHS.) ---

Lily/Lilly is a very popular girls’ name right now. One wonders what Caitlyn Jenner might have called themselves had they decided to transition earlier in life. I actually came here to say that the Noems are divorcing after 34 years together. Gosh, who ever saw THAT one coming? > **[Kristi Noem's mom responds to Lewandowski affair rumors](https://www.newsweek.com/kristi-noem-mother-corey-lewandowski-affair-rumors-divorce-12183420)** > > Kristi Noem's mother dismissed the Lewandowski affair rumors and revealed new details about her daughter's marriage. ---

I’m going to post this every time her name is mentioned. A man whose life sentence for manslaughter was commuted by then-South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been charged in connection with the death of a 14-year-old girl, in what authorities called a “horrific” case. McKenna Wendel was reported missing in mid-March and found dead in a rural area near Brookings, South Dakota, following a days long search, according to Sioux Falls police. Following a monthslong investigation, her relative, 51-year-old Mark Milk, faces federal charges alleging he transported a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, possessed cocaine that led to McKenna’s death and then conspired with another man to destroy evidence, according to the indictment. ---
