Further proof JD Vance is not a good Catholic. This is basic catechism stuff. It will be interesting to see how far Pope Leo XIV pushes against what this administration is doing.

Won Trivia for our team tonight because I could identify Hot Frosty's abs. My co-workers were like 'how?' Like it was any weirder than rattling off the history of the British monarchy, which I had done over coffee in the morning. I retain multitudes in useless info.

She's full of sh*t! In recent trips to my local King Soopers(Kroeger) since last yr: Secret deodorant up $2, Oil of Olay moisturizer $10, Spindthrift $2, Oscar Meyer deli meats $3 ($0.50 in the last 2 wks), bananas $0.20/lb, and those are just the ones I can remember. All those bits & bobs add up.

What the what? Because bus fairs are the only thing keeping the criminals in their place? Racist/classist *ssholes much?

I'm second guessing myself. Ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut, because long day & they outsourced the delivery to DoorDash. I do NOT have the app, I did NOT choose the driver, but he immediately starts in on me for how long he had to wait, so I reported him to DD. Who can see the texts & said they 1/2

Does this remind anyone else of Whoopi's writer character in Sospdish yelling at RDJ "He doesn't have a head!" I think I need to rewatch Soapdish.

Dogs need to learn leaves rustling in the wind is not a reason to race outside at midnight and bark like we're being invaded. Note: these are same dogs that didn't give me a heads-up there were Jehovah's Witnesses on the porch, when barking like lunatics would've been acceptable.

Adding this to my list of books to buy. Growing up in the west, this is brings back fond memories of school history. Also, last yr found a diary of my great-great-grandfather's step uncle about settling western Montana after gold was found at Alder Gulch & brought that time alive.

I have things to do, but I don't want to disturb this sweet lady sleeping on my feet.

The drawback of living in an older neighborhood with mature trees, is the overuse of leaf blowers in the fall. Yes, on Monday I used a leaf blower, but mine is electric so it's quieter & I only used it to clean gutters, clear the roof & the back walk way. I leave my leaves for the wildlife.

Just another reason not to shop at Target. It's almost comical the links they're going to not understand why no one is shopping. I'm protesting their hiring policies, my less political friends aren't because they dropped in quality & went all 'Little House on the Prairie' as one friend put it.

Romancing the Stone is on TCM tonight. Perfect Friday night movie!

It's not just about deportation, it's about cruelty & keeping people in jail so private prisons can collect tax payer money. This is awful, they're just keeping this guy in limbo.

Don't tease me with a good time.

I know it's not the point, but I kind of want to figure out every movie/tv show that went into this. Also, love it!

Did they put this up, so Trump can find the office from outside?

I see the plan for JD Vance to be the future of the party & a king maker is off to a roaring start (especially if these margins hold).

Why is a guy who runs plumbing & HVAC businesses wearing a cowboy hat? Don't say it's cause he's from Oklahoma. I'm Wyoming born & raised, you know the 'Cowboy State' & I'd look like I was cos-playing too. As a kid, we'd laugh at tourists duding it up, still do.

If he has no clue who thos guy is? Then who suggested the pardon & fed him the Biden witch hunt bs line? Don Jr? Eric? JD Vance? Musk? Miller? Who is manipulating this man,obviously in cognitive decline? There's no immunity for everyone in Trump's circle.

I never realized how many people I follow here are baseball fans. Mostly because in my day to day life, it's all football and hockey.

One of my besties wrote some books & they're on sale. If reading is your thing.

Isn't all of this in violation of the 8th Amendment, on top of being immoral, unethical, and just plain wrong.

Ack! New leaking pipe! Last one cost me a fortune, and now I am paying for an emergency plumber. Just when you think you can squeak by, your home goes au contraire time to break something.

Yes, the costume choice reflects their personalities. Waiting for trick-r-treators, after the first one or two, the costumes come off.

The difference between Threads & Bluesky amuses me. At the moment Threads algorithm is feeding me the plot of JD Vance throwing over Usha for Erica Kirk. I wouldn't put it past him, or the Widow Kirk in those leather pants, but I doubt Usha will just exit the stage.

My only issue with this is, the British media demands the same treatment for Prince Harry, who's "crime" was defending his wife & children, moving out of royal housing and finding a job. The two are not equivalent,except in the mind of the royal rota.

Has he decided if he can't live forever, he's just gonna take us all with him when the grim reaper calls?

I personally would be thrilled with neighbors who spoke a language other than English. First rule of meeting someone who speaks a foreign language is to befriend them & then make them teach you how to cuss in their native tongue. Vance is a buzzkill, along with being a racist.

While everyone is focusing on Chicago, NYC, Portland, etc. this is what ICE is doing in rural areas.

It's true what they say about the second shingles vaccine putting you on your *ss. Fortunately, it's worth it.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I'm in Colorado, so this isn't my fight, but the race is a year out & from what I'm reading Platner looks to be a future Fetterman, Sinema, Manchin, etc. Dem seat desperate to be achieved or held, only for the candidate to end up lining their own pockets & f*cking over their voters.

I need to get healthy & lose weight, so I can make sure to live long enough to see this ghoul stand trial for crimes against humanity.

Back when I had a reactive Cane Corso, I glared down many an off leash dog walker. Even though Figgy was double leashed & and muzzled, I didn't need dogs running up. Now that I have shorties that love everyone, I still keep them leashed for their safety. People need to leash dogs!

Work was whackadoodle today, so I'm late walking the goofballs (aka the dogs). Bella was clean, then she found a pile of leaves to roll in & has turned dingy gray. It's days like these, I wish I had a tub. Also, she's just low riding goofball.

Dems need a nationwide ad campaign w/that soundbite over a visual of the destruction of the East Wing. Show Americans at food banks & receiving their new insurance premiums. Tell them to call their senators & reps demanding focus on negotiating lower insurance & ending the shutdown, not a ballroom.

Getting scolded by my in-laws on Facebook for daring to disagree with Trump about the White House. Being told I'm alarmist & too stupid to Google US History. I started to reply & then was f*ck it. Life is short. I didn't choose these people my brother did.

So I just explained Gorilla Twins to my co-workers, thanks to @fatedmates.net and my work bestie, who can bring death into any conversation e.g. "it's a beautiful day...remember in 1936 when a beautiful day turned into a blizzard & a bunch of school children died" is intrigued.

After 5 days of dog sitting, these 2 knuckleheads are no longer separated by dog gates in their separate territories & have decided to taunt each other all evening. They don't understand it's mid-week & my work day starts too early for their cat nonsense.

Just watched Karine Jean-Pierre on last night's Colbert & it was so frustrating! He wouldn't let her explain. He was justifying his opinion of Biden after the debate instead of hearing her explanation! My thoughts are too long for a skeet, but she's right. Dem leadership is not meeting the moment.

Idaho, where people go to die.

Since we can't have nice things right now, like a functioning government, I went shopping and bought way too many stroopwafels (is there such a thing?).

Wishing safety and fun for everyone at a No Kings protest today (we're dogsitting and the idiot brigade couldn't be trusted alone). We're there in spirit!

These dudes always say they're leaving, but then where do they go? If they have families, do they want to deal with the wife & kids griping about missed friends/routines? They won't find the same golf courses, bars, restaurants, conveniences in Ohio & they'll hate the heat in Texas.

Finally, I got a COVID booster & flu shot. It feels like sticking it to the man every time I get vaccinated now.

Sleeping basset hound are the best!

So SCOTUS wasn't satisfied with just ending democracy, had to go for being racist as well (between this & the Kavanaugh stops). At this point I don't put it past them to get rid of birthright citizenship. I guess Roberts wanted to go down in history in a big way.

How are people not learning from Target's downfall? Also, NBC Nightly News has gone downhill since Lester Holt left, fortunately my cable package offers BBC News (the 24 hr version, not the PBS version).

Am I the only person that every time I hear about 'Welcome to Derry' who's brain jumps to 'Derry Girls' before 'IT'?

Moby Dick might have been the first great American novel but ye gods could it have done with the first great American editor.
