This is what my Amazon package looked like today. I ordered three bags of potato chips.

My Kindle has this amazing feature: if I don't know a word, I can long-press it and a definition with pronunciation will pop up. I wish Google had that feature for my phone!

McConnell is only four years older than the orange menace. Think about that the next time Turtle Boy glitches.

I got a beautiful Waterford crystal biscuit jar as a wedding gift in the 70s. I had always thought the name made no sense. Tonight out of nowhere I finally realized that Waterford crystal is made in England, where cookies are called biscuits. 49 years of being an absolute idiot. Sigh.

So FOTUS is sending troops into Chicago because of the Dallas ICE facility shooting. But no troops in Texas (except at the border.) Wonder why, hmmmm? 😜

I would pay good money for every journalist in the WH press corps to ask him the same question over and over. See if he'll stroke out. Epstein, budget, anything that he dances around. Just keep pecking until he explodes.

Four truths: The government will shut down. At least 50% of Americans will blame Democrats. Democrats will cave. We need a new opposition party.

Playing the long game: the crackdown on left-wing organizations is a way to deny funding to Dem candidates in the midterms.

You know when he finally shuffles off this mortal coil, they will blame us. Because we were "mean" to him.

24 years ago today, it felt like we were entering a terrifying new age of terror and war...and I miss how more comfortable and safe I felt then than I do now.

And the winner is:👇

"When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes, they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.” -Chief Tecumseh

Look you can’t tell me this thing is “intelligently designed” — it goes into a five-minute coughing fit if I breathe wrong. Sometimes it accidentally bites itself. It draws blood.

Our worry right now should not be whether he's dead. We know he's dying. What we need to ask is who JD will name as his VP.

Trump's antics and rhetoric seem to have ramped up significantly in the past week. Is he being medicated to appear cognizant, or does he realize his time is short so he's trying to cram as much as possible into his last days?

So now the Cosplay Queen got her boyfriend a job. www.dhs.gov/news/2025/06...

I have realized that I can leave my house at 8 am, drive to the Grand Canyon for the afternoon, and be home by bedtime. Too hot now, but maybe September?

Let's cut the crap. This is exactly what 77,000,000 people voted for. They voted for an old white man to say and do whatever the hell he wants, because they thought a multiracial woman deserved to have no say. It's that simple.

Waiting for the Do-Nothing Congress to push through the horrendous spending bill now that we "need" even more defense spending.

Prediction: In the near future, the MAGA Peace Prize will be created by the Kennedy Center. You don't need to ask who the first recipient is. Probably a Lifetime Achievement Award, in fact.

I had a Walmart delivery driver yesterday who had to use Google Translate to ask for water because she spoke no English. Guess what? I wasn't offended, and gave her a bottle of water! If I could have figured out what language she was speaking, I would have gotten my phone and had a conversation.

I want to stop doom scrolling for my mental and physical health. But now, especially, we all need to keep up with world events. It's a struggle.

If I needed incentive to live to 100, it's to watch all of these assholes die or go to prison.

This July 4th, can we declare our independence from Mango Mussolini?

At this point I think I'd almost welcome an invading army that liberates the camps and overthrows the government.

I agree with this. I urge people to continue to resist. But I no longer know what form that resistance should take. I do not see the clear next step—we have a rogue fascist regime and no one appears to have any idea how to stop it. We must at a minimum be clear-eyed about this. That is my point.

We're walking right into it. No one appears to have any idea how to stop it. We know where it's headed. Martial law. The end of democracy. No more elections. A waking nightmare. I promise to amplify anyone offering legal, workable solutions. I haven't found any yet. And the left is leaderless.

Trump's proclamation includes this threat: In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support ... in any number determined appropriate in his discretion. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I propose that the two major parties switch mascots. The Republicans are all asses, and the Democrats are slow, plodding and gray elephants.

My first summer in a downstairs apartment (I used to live upstairs facing a parking lot, now 1st floor facing the courtyard.) Don't know what's worse, the screaming children or the wannabe basketball star.

I think my younger daughter has gone no-contact. She hasn't responded to my texts in 6 weeks. I'm conflicted as to whether to send her usual birthday money next month.

I spent $300 on cat trees, scratching post, catnip toys and cat grass. My cat is happily playing with the receipt.

Maybe the plan is to replace deported agricultural workers with prison labor.

What if, and hear me out now… a judicial coup is the history they want to invent for their followers in order to declare martial law?

He is a mob boss.

The only thing more frightening than a president with angry, stage one dementia, is a president with angry, stage one dementia, and malignant narcissism.

I grabbed crackers, cheese and meat for a snack without paying attention to numbers. Turns out I got the exact number needed for each. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.

Have you noticed how quickly the car companies pivoted to "made in America" and "no tariffs on our trucks?" Hmmm, seems like they're trying to stay on someone's good side.

There's a kid outside yelling "Stella! Stella!" I really want to yell back, "I coulda been a contender!"

Left: Loki in August 2019, just barely weaned from Mom. Right: Loki the Magnificent Flonk. #caturday

In one day, Loki barfed in both the automatic waterer and the communal kibble bowl. And Thunder deposited the stinkiest poop ever in both litter boxes. My life is fun 😜

What if he wants to open Alcatraz Island, not the prison? Just drop the prisoners off, maybe do occasional food/water drops, and leave 'em to live and die amongst the rubble.
