Anyone looking for some free messaging advice: with this new $250 Trump bullshit currency, that's roughly people are spending on a couple bags of food at the store. Just start calling it the grocery bill. You're welcome.

Every American should be disgusted by this.

He promised to release his tax returns as soon as there were no more audits pending, and now there are no more audits pending.

2 weeks!!!?

For the ascii geeks out there: V/

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Do you see anything you'd like on the menu?

Anyone else grow up hearing the word "dadgummit" in occasional normal use?

Guessing the demented and delusional and deranged Occupant of the White House won't want to see this. DO NOT SHARE!!!

The past couple of mornings as I stepped out to head to work I stopped to look at the waning moon. Somewhere in my field of view between here and there is the Artemis II crew. So I waved.

While they're easy to criticize, our local Walmart - with headquarters in the south - has a locally unsurpassed selection of BBQ sauces with containers going up to gallon size.

Todd Blanche's first official act as Acting AG is to break the law--specifically, the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R.4405/S.2557), signed into LAW on November 19, 2025. This alone should be sufficient for Congress to reject his nomination. @democrats.senate.gov

Awesome view from Artemis II this morning.

It’s time for my favorite cartoon of the year.

Guy on a corner yesterday in a Jesus T-shirt - wavy hair, flowing robe, nice backlighting. Holding up a sign depicting the Ark of the Covenant - shiny gold, modern level metalworking. Timing considered, what does an Old Testament artifact have to do with the resurrection of Christ?

Many More Should Have Also Been Prosecuted….

Yup.

Now it all makes sense‼️ #Cricket

Expected to begin the day cleaning my brother's house where he was found dead last week. Instead, first thing out the door was getting an eighty-seven year old friend to the ER after a fall with a head injury. Then found out my son was deployed. Then had to buy a new set of tires. Mondays suck

Trump said this week that Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear bomb. This is what he said in July.

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

Repost. Repost. Repost.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Watching a web cam of some local construction. After months of seeing workers with harnesses and safety ropes in elevated areas, I'm now watching the brick masons putting the "skin" on the building. They're climbing up to third floor level on a column that isn't a ladder, no ropes, no worries.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social At least twice on your show last night you referred to ICE involved traffic crashes as "accidents". They weren't accidents. They were collisions. They were results of deliberate choices. Don't give them the cover of pretending to be victims of random events.

Thinking about Bad Bunny's halftime show and with no disrespect to the child in the scene, I keep coming back to when he handed over his Grammy. Does that Grammy award sort of resemble a Nobel Peace Prize medal, a shiny unearned trinket passed to a child?

The seething contempt Republicans have for Latino-American culture has been on full display over the last 24 hours.

"The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States' officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program."

I saw that a former boss of mine died a couple of days ago. He demonstrated a mastery of "work-life balance" years ago. He left one morning for a doctor's appointment and for reasons never disclosed, when he got back he cleared out his desk and we never saw him again.

Five years ago, Donald Trump instigated a violent insurrection in the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. The fact that the GOP coddled him, protected him, renominated him, and now support him in office, is a stain that will never be erased.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

An after dark knock at the door, dogs going crazy. I'm thinking tamales. Carolers!!

An isolated shocking statement etched into my brain: "David Scheler's mother died." That was in the first few days of second grade at a new school. I really didn't know David. Today, in news some sixty years later, I saw David Scheler's death notice. I never really knew him. RIP David.

Some nasty winds last night as evidenced by the many and large tree bits that came down. Had one crash where somebody's basketball hoop blew into the street and my wet brakes couldn't get me to a full stop in time. The cars smash the debris and push it into the bike lanes, adding to my hazard.

Pete Buttigieg and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez always express themselves with such intelligence and persuasiveness. They never disappoint.

Problem with nosy neighbors, trespassers, noisey people; here's a trick:

It's vile to kill people with no actual legal justification and also vile to joke about killing those people.

Toxic, yet beautiful. Not the finest photo, but lovely specimens. Corvallis, OR. #mushroom

Would you call it a quirk of mathematics or a failing of ergonomic engineering that the majority of machine control systems are designed for greater than the average number of human hands and feet?

Bussed in - to downtown - protesters in Corvallis, Oregon.

My next door neighbor was a teenager in nazi occupied Paris. She knows what it looks like with gangs of bullies swaggering through the streets.

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health what until you see what guns do.

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.

Am I getting old? Am I losing my sense of whimsy? I'm having lunch at my desk and realizing I no longer peel down strips of my string cheese or read the imprint on the inside of the lid to my yogurt. But I still take the time to watch silly dog videos, so I'm not entirely burnt out.
