Brick Suit @Brick_Suit - Arnold Palmer check explained.
Arnold Palmers are my main drink of choice when dining out. And I notice if they are served correctly.
The drink is half lemonade and half unsweetened ice tea. When served there should be a noticeable stratification between the denser lemonade on the bottom (due to the disolved sugar) and the iced tea on the top (less dense due to no sugar). This split is why the drink is also called a "half and half".
When the server presents the drink correctly, like in this photo, I take it as a good sign that they have attention to detail and don't worry about my food order as much. Tip automatically goes up for style points too.
If however the drink is served all mixed together (due to an improper pour technique), I take it as a cautionary sign, and make sure my order is read back to me correctly.
A properly poured Arnold Palmer sets the tone.
Bonus: Its also a fun drink to order around children of a certain age because you get to have a mini physics lesson at the table.

Brilyn Hollyhand @BrilynHollyhand - I just called out Billie Eilish LIVE on Fox News after she claimed, “No one is illegal on stolen land.”
Sorry to break it to you, Billie, but your multi-million-dollar mansion was built on “stolen land” once belonging to the Tongva tribe.
Maybe sit this one out, Billie.

Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson - Dear @SpeakerJohnson and @JamesComer,
I respectfully request to be allowed to be present for the testimony of Bill and Hillary Clinton if/when that occurs. I was their Air Force Military Aide from 1996-1998. I’ve spoken and written about their crimes since.
My request is not based on retribution (of any sort). I’d just like to personally witness their injustice in a public setting.
Thank you for your time.
Very Respectively,
Robert “Buzz” Patterson
Lieutenant Colonel, USAF (RET)

Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson - Tonight's Buzz’s Bedtime Stories is a retell and centers on Bill and Hillary Clinton! And their “intimate relationship.” Pour a beverage, cuddle up, and read along. This is a cliffhanger! One night, the president, first lady, and the entourage (including me) were on our way to a Washington, D.C., hotel for a fundraising event. My vehicle, the Control Van, was always immediately behind “The Beast,” the president’s limousine. Motorcades, even locally, were impressive in their size and logistics. Press vans, “Roadrunner” for communications, Secret Service guys, and a Counter Assault Team truck. I always found them really exciting.

As this motorcade pulled into the hotel loading dock area, I immediately knew it was going to be a rough night. I noticed the Clintons going back and forth at each other in the limo. They were animated and arguing in the backseat…and taking their time.
-
After a very pregnant pause, the president, the first lady, two Secret Service agents, the White House doctor, and I crowded into a loading dock elevator and headed up to the party on the top floor of the hotel. We used loading docks for security and to avoid the paparazzi.
