Amen.

A follow-up to Burns’ red rose poem? #smallpoemsunday

So, no weekly screenings of the Melania movie?

There were depictions and images of DEATH? Holy heck! What’s the DOJ (not) doing?! …physical abuse, injury, child pornography aside…

Dare we say, a “perfect phone call”? Glad Tim W is expressing confidence that things are on the right track.

More Wilpo snow.

Shut up. As others have said, camo-wearing conservatives tote their sidearms when shopping for groceries. Hypocrites. (“Have you ever been to a farmer’s market, Scott Bessant? No? I have. I don’t bring a gun. I bring my fund-raiser tote bags.”)

“There will be a robust and comprehensive investigation…” Of whom? His parents?

Does this woman even watch the videos before she opens her mouth? (Rhetorical question. Obviously.)

That’s not a penguin. That’s * JD Vance * Marco Rubio * Greg Bovino (Take your pick. They’re all short.)

So these guys had no problem disrupting this kind of worship service?

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

“Overnight”? You guys have had a whole bleeping year!

(Technically this should be WHOOOOOOO CAAAAAARESSSUUUHHH.)

What’s the coolest photo you’ve taken on your phone? Mine is this sheep beside the road on the Isle of Skye. I use it for my phone’s background.

Makes me wish I still lived in California. I’d accept this.

Happy Hatchday!

My new hobby. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

How about “Let’s go, Brandon”? These Brandoned guys.

The way I see it, Ford missed a huge opportunity here. How many of us would buy a TJ Sabula edition of any Ford car? I would. It comes standard with the horn sounding “Pedo Protector!”

That is… um… quite a chainsaw.

You should interrupt them and simply say, “How do you KNOW you’ve never met a trans woman?”

Very few books have I abandoned. Typically, if I crack that spine, I’m committed until The End. And with some books (especially audiobooks), I start to critique and even mock them for their foibles—an educating experience for a fellow writer.

I have to confess: I used my work computer’s AI to write an email memo to my manager on why I wouldn’t be using AI at work.

#booksky Recent read, and our local public radio station’s bi-monthly review podcast. Meet Me at the Museum by Anne Youngson. The book got me interested in visiting Denmark to see the Tollund Man. Future relations with the US might make that difficult… www.wvia.org/news/local/2...

It’s only a model.

Tell that to the officer who shot her.

Reposting for those of us in NEPA.

Cool! But how does she find time to read AND crochet?

The thing that professors care about MOST: How close is my parking spot to my office? (Former professor here.)

First joke of the new year: Niece-adjacent 9-year-old proclaimed, 15 minutes after midnight, “I haven’t brushed my teeth since last year!”

Oops.

I took writing classes from William Tenn (which was his a.k.a.)! Should I reveal his real name here?

Found a copy of Myst IV at my library’s used book store & I’m downloading via disc it to my laptop. It is taking FOREVER! (Probably 15+ minutes.) How did we ever endure this kind of thing back in the olden days?

I own Frank (brother of Jesse—the outlaw) James’ butcher knife and sharpener.

Maybe look at the author photo, or read the author’s first name (usually the word following “by”). If this doofus, can’t figure that out, what’s he doing in a bookstore in the first place?

Cool! But… “toilet-seat headed”? Please reserve such descriptions for certain cabinet members.

Damn. Pam Bondi’s DOJ redacted some of my jigsaw puzzle.

Did a double take, thinking I’d recognized a picture of my car (the Mini, not the Musk trucks). I’ve started waving to all the other Mini owners while driving around our town. We’re a friendly bunch!

Probably not much underwear being worn here.

My wife guessed correctly. I was a couple centuries off.

Susie and the JD Vancies

This was the part that to me was the worst. Not because DT is a %#^@ moron; not because said moron is running the country; but because this “math” was soundly mocked when he first gave it and he STILL repeats it. Doesn’t Susie Wiles pull this moron aside and say, “Mebbe don’t say that anymore”?

This shouldn’t affect clown business if clowns change their end result…

Nearly done with this volume I bought over 35 years ago. (Bought at annual AAUW book sale—sale price was more than original!)

If he’d actually flipped it, his thumb would have fallen off. (That’s why he’s been wearing a Band-aid lately.)

As a composition professor, I always wrote the in-class essay with my students. For creative classes, I treated myself like a participant in workshops (very humbling when my story was under review!). As advisor of high school lit mag, I did all the writing prompts with students.
