I survived growing up in Salt Lake, and attended a few Salt Lake Eagles games in the Seventies. Now living in the Chicago Burbs, might root for the Blackhawks’ Connor Bedard. Because post-Utah PTSD is my jam; I cheer every time a Utah team is defeated. www.sltrib.com/sports/utah-...

Another heart/brain revver-upper: a fine rant by Wonkette’s Evan Hurst ( @evanhurst.substack.com ) Palantir CEO Karp looks like the love child of Quentin Tarantino and Ka$h Patel, as if you needed more nightmare fuel. DID an AI target the girls’ school? IDK! www.wonkette.com/p/guy-who-th...

Nothing beats an early morning call from an insurance claim adjuster for waking a person up and getting the mind and body moving. Now that I’ve had coffee and mah Cheerios, I can call her back with the information she needs; the neuro doc referred me to a medical records phone/fax. UGH.

So many #NoKings protests in the NW suburbs of #Chicago, PLENTY OF TIME! Bring your signs and your voices to more than one event, and we'll meet you at the big one in Elk Grove Village at 3pm! See you there! 🙌🏻 ⬇️ nokings.org

“Suckers” “Losers”

The 85-year-old former CBS anchorman will lend his sonorous, familiar voice to a final show on May 23.

Ms @sashaannsimons.bsky.social has stepped nimbly into the Say More breach while @pksmid.bsky.social is celebrating his birthday. And then we thought why not add another P Smith to the show? Just while Pat is off? So Sasha and will chat w/ 🔥Patti Smith🔥 tomorrow after 10a @wbez.org Pinch me.

The IgNobel awards are moving to Europe. Our loss is their gain. Now if someone could study how to break the programming of the willfully igorant, that’d be greaaaaat. www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

The ol’ Golden Dome ain’t what it used to be. Looks like he can’t get his candy floss folded and woven back and forth. I have a similar problem, can’t comfortably raise my hands over my head to arrange my mane.

Oh my god no! The Iranians were developing Trump's healthcare plan.

Mai phase; mai purrsonality.

That GOP majority is sitting on a knife's edge 👀

Oh wow, had missed that there is a discount too. Makes a good value great!

I finally worked out a strategy for panhandlers. As a woman in AARP age, alone on foot or bike, I do not love being panhandled. I know and he knows that any man who wants to can overpower and rob me. I also know that panhandling is a symptom of a broken housing system and starved public sector. 🧵

Thru study of ancient European DNA, genetic markers passed by males (Y chromosomes) and females (mitochondrial DNA), one theory is that farming women “married” hunter men. How quaint. More likely: abduction and r*pe. But how to test this? Burials of high status women exist, that’s a start.

I highly recommend people read and subscribe to Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez on Substack, and SHARE so this gets the attention it deserves and an evil piece of Hollywood, Peggy Siegal, gets the consequences she deserves. substack.com/@alisavaldes...

Listening to @proleftpodcast.bsky.social - all about healing, miracles, and (say it with us now) #Independents ! They referenced @juliusgoat.bsky.social ‘s recent newsletter - fortunately, I had read it and got to enjoy it again. Podcast - it’s not safe for work! overcast.fm/+ABTRv9Mpu88

Erik Prince is very disappointed. Rethinking the whole MAGA thing he helped bankroll. crooksandliars.com/2026/03/maga...

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

Another classic from @bagleycartoons.bsky.social ALT Text for thumbnail A charicature Trump hunches over a podium stating “American heroes may be lost. That happens in war.” A fart with a sickly puff of corruption is labeled “it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.” www.sltrib.com/opinion/bagl...

So: after actual assassination, character assassination, just as a palate cleanser. Kool, Ka$h.

Kash Patel and other Justice Department officials shut down a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s killing. Unacceptable. The truth must come out.

Operation Epic Furry

It’s the #Quilting Danger zone: my favorite designer #LaurelBurch on sale. Plus other designs from the same manufacturer #Clothworks that’s in my saturated-color wheelhouse. But I promised myself I wouldn’t buy more fabric until I finished some projects… www.jellyrollfabric.net/search?q=lau...

A Billion should do it....

Please - read this. There's still good in the world. I was beginning to doubt.

A Utah state legislator demonstrates to a Republican constituent that “the cruelty is the point.” She is surprised by his rudeness and lack of Christian compassion, but we are not. www.sltrib.com/opinion/lett...

🚨 Emergency Rally 🚨 Tomorrow, Sunday March 1st at 5:00 PM 20 Ivers St, Brewer Susan Collins needs to see us united against the tragic, stupid, ill-conceived bombing of Iran. She has the power, as a swing vote in the U.S. Senate, to bring this to an end.

The show just let out, chatted a bit with both of them as they autographed their latest CD. What a great evening - a respite of peace and delightful tunes.

News orgs have drastically cut back or eliminated overseas reporters under Trump. No VOA as we knew it either. Timing is everything.

It’s whiplash weather? More like schizoid weather. I’m going out for lunch with an elder relative; I suspect she was some tea to share, or perhaps hopes for tea from me. Hoping to walk outside afterwards. chicago.suntimes.com/weather/2026...

@katmabu.bsky.social lands a well-timed "do you believe this shit?" camera take while biss and fine bicker about ad spends

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

This is SHAMEFUL. They dropped him off in the dead of winter, and failed to notify his family or lawyer. He was nearly blind, and was using a curtain rod as a white cane when he originally was detained. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
