Corruption is EXPENSIVE.

Trial vacated. Grand jurors with "personal opinions". This just keeps getting weirder.

@barnesandnoble.com I only have one book in your online store, but I will pull it off if you stock AI books.

@joewlaw.bsky.social look at this shit. Imma need a lot of popcorn.

Congratulations to Keisha Lance Bottoms for winning the Dem nomination in the GA Governor's race. Go kick some GOP ass! youtube.com/post/UgkxHJM...

I think I can articulate my feelings re: Jeff Landry's stopping the House primary. Your bigotry and greed do not constitute an emergency. You are literally discarding thousands of absentee votes because you wanted to do a racism.

Taking a brief break and I find Husbeast and one of our friends assembling IKEA furniture in the dining area. There are too many pieces of stuff on the floor to allow me to safely pass through to the kitchen. It's a no-man's-land of brackets, dowels, and particle board.

So I don't know what the hell anyone is thinking by floating Rahm fucking Emmanuel for POTUS. His STUPID advice to focus only on big ticket races while the GOP was in the middle of executing Project Red Map is a hefty chunk of what got us into this vat of rancid fish entrails. Fuck that.

I endorse this plan. Go other places. Upset the sports world order. Fuck the SEC's shit up. Believe me, they deserve it (I graduated from LSU).

Can I tell you how happy it makes me to hear people calling my governor #KLandry? And how I did a little white girl dance when all 5 of his bullshit constitutional amendments failed by UNHEARD OF margins? It's okay, Jeff. I'm sure Daddy Trump still loves you.

Go vote for Doug, #Alabama friends! He will be a governor you can be proud of.

So I am in the middle of outlining a sci-fantasy novel that when it's finished, I would love to have a real artist do some sketchy, obviously human-made cover art for (and ffs, pay them for their work). Really not sure where to look for this kind of thing. Who has tips?

Proof that while the weird Stockholm Syndrome that GOP candidates have over their voters still holds, their POLICIES are shit and everyone knows it. Stop going back to the one who hurt you. Hold your nose & vote Dem. Vote indie. Stay home. Write in Mickey Mouse. Just don't vote GOP.

Eventually, everything evolves into crabs.

Go vote, Alabama friends! You'll be glad you did.

Big wins for the people of #Louisiana last night. Jeff got his ass handed to him. WE DID THAT. www.wdsu.com/article/loui...

There's some questions I have here... How did they actually spin that fluff? If you just start pulling it out of the batt like that, you won't get the yarn that's wound into those balls. This looks like some 5-minute crafts crap. There's a few missing steps. As a knitter/spinner, I call bullshit.

I voted. Did you? #vote #Louisiana

Going to sign the #LandryRecall petition. The line is around the block. Get it done, Baton Rouge!

All I hear is, "Let's switch to the ever so slightly less radioactive topic because at least I have talking points for that."

So let's talk constitutional amendments. Louisiana constitutional amendments, that is. As always, the Louisiana Power Coalition has you covered. Check out their explainers for each amendment here: powercoalition.org/amendments/

Reminds me of Maximum Overdrive by @stephenking.bsky.social. That movie is why all my appliances are the dumb kind.

It's been an absolute AGE since I read a limerick. This is an excellent example of the genre.

Louisiana voters: Next Election is THIS SATURDAY May 16th. Your vote matters: they wouldn’t work so hard to dilute and suppress your vote if it didn’t matter. Look at what’s on the ballot! Call 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) if you have problems voting at the polls on Election Day. #GeauxVote

The court's response should be a more diplomatic FUCK YOU, MAKE ME.

I got cat grass for the boys and it took less than an hour for them to fight over it. Sigh.

Good news, everybody! The campaign merch store is finally up and running! You can get yard signs, shirts, stickers, and other goodies to show off to all your friends and neighbors! (My team wouldn’t let me do a “Chris Kluwe For Ass.” shirt but I did convince them to do something similar)

Look, we all want to get rid of Jeff Landry, but you can't just gatekeep that shit because you're scared. Do you know how long it took me to find this info? Shout it from the fucking rooftop and up and down the street. This is how you find your signing location: louisianadeservesbetter.com

First meal cooked in our rebuilt kitchen was bulgogi pasta. Adapted from Aaron's ground beef bulgogi spaghetti, with some additional and substitute ingredients. I used egg noodles & ground pork, and added rehydrated dried shiitake mushrooms. Very tasty as always. aaronandclaire.com/ground-beef-...

I've been slowly unpacking boxes to put things back into the kitchen and pantry after the completed reconstruction. One of the cats thinks that my flattening of cardboard boxes is an atrocity. He's now hunkered down in the laundry basket in protest.

So the Golden Idol of Doral reminds me of that batshit crazy Nathan Bedford Forest statue. They're both idols of white supremacy, and they're both ugly AF.

I would like to point out that dictators rarely have good endings. Mussolini. Hitler. Ceaușescu. And so on. We have to work for it, but I know that day will come.

We need to start talking about the white nationalist faction trying to gerrymander our black/brown neighbors out of their voices in the same way Edwin Edwards talked about David Duke back in 1991. Poor things. They're suffering smoke inhalation from burning too many crosses.

There's a new crepe place in Baton Rouge. If you're in the area, try Crepe Haven on Corporate Blvd. The Dubai chocolate is great. They have crepes, waffles, and tiny pancakes. The owner is really nice, too.

Another potential dummymander? Let's hope so. I'm down to help ANY Dem/progressive INDY candidates in TN, AL, LA, MS, FL, TX, OH, IN, MO. Text banking is my JAM. HMU.

The last gif you used is your current mood.

Seeing a lot of MTG "big tent" discourse today. This doesn't work. 1) Marge DOESN'T want in the tent. She's got her own grift, thanks. 2) There's a whole lot of clear blue ocean between a temporary coalition to oust an authoritarian (see Hungary) and inviting the space lasers lady to dinner.

I'm sick today with a respiratory virus, so my laughter at this makes me sound like I have tuberculosis.

Sending out a bat-signal of sorts. Are there any reputable organizations that are working on Gaza relief that you guys might recommend? Also interested in any organization that might be doing work helping civilian populations in Iran. I don't have a lot, but I can make a small contribution.

Just because he's not JD Vance, it doesn't mean anyone likes him. He's a soulless, spineless husk of a man devoid of scruples or principles.

Oh, bless him. Look at the awkward little trot over to the dog. Like "ohmygoshadogimustpetitnow"

Honestly, that whole thing is a teachable moment. If you want to know about a thing, find experts in that topic. You can pull in other experts in related topics too, like a physicist that knits, for example.

I come from deep red roots. My grandmother was in what amounts to the Klan's version of the Junior League. My family told racist, bigoted jokes without checking if they were being overheard. They knew they were safe. I never felt like they were really MY family. Like I didn't fit with them somehow.

I see you, Scott MacFarlane. This is the kind of journalism we actually need right now. I think the posture of overt neutrality has been unequal to speaking truth to the power that does nothing but consume. Speak for what is RIGHT, not what's neutral.

Hard agree.

It's about damn time

Reasons to NOT live in your apartment while it's being renovated: 1. You work from home & there's NOISE. 2. There's drywall dust and you like to BREATHE. 3. Your pets will hate you. I've been having an acute allergy attack the past 4 days, and my throat is sore AF.

@genxdadvet.bsky.social Wanna kick Jeff in the balls?

They're putting in flooring, but that means I've been Cask of Amontillado-ed into the office and I'm so hungry I could eat the cat. He's pretty chubby.

Stop your doomscrolling and look at this otter
