So we have to live with the fact that #KristiNoem got replaced by #MarkwayneMullen. On the other hand ... so does she.

The funniest thing about #HillaryClinton taking the conservatives behind the backhouse for a spanking is that they demanded this. They wanted it. They insisted. They inflicted it on themselves. You know for people who are in love with private property they sure do embrace being publicly owned

Hey, folks, I don't make the rules. And that's the problem, is what I'm saying.

The man who invented the 1950s passed today. Goodbye #NeilSedaka.

Picture it: you're living your own life, not hurting anyone so far as you know, happy in your own skin and living the best life you can, and with zero grace period, the state revokes your state-issued ID or driver license because they've decided they don't like the color of your eyes.

Early evening. Another Makoccino tutorial. #Watercolor #WatercolorSketch #OnePaintingADay (more or less)

It’s exciting when a little bit of a painting looks like “a real painting”. Here’s my attempt, I was quite pleased with my river, cranky about my unsubtle yellow hill (his hill was really pretty shades).

A Paul Clark tutorial. He does lovely instructionals but I found process a bit inscrutableI ... don't look quite like his example but it DOES look like an old Roman bridge over a creek in the English back country, so ... a success. #Watercolor #OnePaintingADay (more or less) #ArtistsOfBluesky

Wow ... "Wacky Packages" really suck now. (thanks to @jackohman.bsky.social ) www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Another Makoccino tutorial. While I'm not 100% satisfied, I'm 100% thrilled with the way it looks. Good enough grasp on this so I can do it again which I may. #Watercolor #ArtistsOfBluesky #OnePaintingADay (More or less)

Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn pronounces his last name "co-burn", as many of you may know, but I didn't for an embarrassingly long time. But one of my cockworkers enlightened me on it.

It takes a special type of resolve to see the bright side of some situations. #Space1999 #Dow50000 #Bondi #Breakaway

Probably not the most original take ... but It just came to me. #DemocracyDiesInDarkness #It'sDarkRightNow #WaPo

The good guys won. Indeed a mighty Superb Owl.

We were born to be alive. Patrick Hernandez told us that back in the disco era but did we listen? Obviously not, I'd say.

Oh, me? Reconstituting a 15-plus year old jar of 'bleed-proof white'. You know. as one does. #Watercolor #Gouache

I wrote a poem about stress and anxiety.

The same sunset photo - SE Stark and 223rd, #Gresham, looking westward down 12 Mile Hill, for different moods. Composition is everything. #PDX

Not much time and the tutorials didn't speak to me so I whomped together a lazy afternoon mountain forest mood. #Watercolor #OnePaintingADay

See Neil Gaiman. See Neil Gaiman surface long enough to see that he shouldn't have surfaced. See Neil Dive. Dive, Neil, Dive. #NeilGaiman

First attempt on the right. Was learning how to lift paint out and neglected to rinse and dry the brush. #OneSmallPaintingADay #Watercolor

Reporting LIVE from an octopus's garden and, yes, newsroom, I'm in the shade. #OneSmallPaintingADay #Watercolor

It was the worst of times, and it was also the grossest of times. Just godawful.

In 1964, Cameron Crowe’s mother took kids to see Bob Dylan, and after the concert, she issued a prescient warning.

Given that the #NRA is at last objecting to what a pro-gun administration is allowing government agents to get away with, the use of bingo cards has been suspended for the duration of the emergency.

It's not so much the depravity that sickens me but the eagerness with which these man-shaped monsters embrace it. Not only that, they don't just stop at depravity, they seek the basest, ugliest depravity they can find and move in with it. With no shame.

Remember, kids, only users lose drugs. Thank you again, @jackohman.bsky.social www.dailykos.com/story/2026/1...

@jackohman.bsky.social tells us all about a certain type of Pyramania. It's like Maslow, only really REALLY stupid. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Another tutorial for practicing #Watercolor. I don't think it was as successful as the misty evergreen forest, unless I think that I'm getting to know the watercolor all over again and I'm reflexing muscles that I haven't used in a while. It's always fun to do.

Oh lookit all you people going to parties and watching drone displays from Pioneer Square in Portland and going all over the world and me and my wife are sitting here all THEY HAD THE GALL TO HAVE ANOTHER YEAR

Here's a quick BlueSky tip: if #ElonMusk follows you here ... ... no, he didn't. (though putting a blue checkmark in the profile photo is clever. Point for that)

I started the Surrealist's Diet at the beginning of the month and in only 2 weeks I lost my mind.
