The person’s mom had dementia (vascular, not Alzheimer’s) and it was devastating. The fact that there is hope of reversing this disease that erases people is… there are no words.

Anybody posting about “needing to be convinced” to vote Democrat going into the midterms is a straight up Republican.

Is this true? @midgeandsusie.bsky.social Would Binx cook more?

SO... when I was at the vet, the receptionist handed me a bag of home grown vegetables. This was both super kind and... surprising as I always thought she found my terrible Japanese annoying 🤔 But... what are these? The little radishes are kabu (right?) and the misshapen rocks are maybe... taro?

@gpgomez.bsky.social if you are looking for more to block.

What sacrifices are you making that the rest of us are not? I’m not a centrist, but burning it all down is not a winning strategy either.

The price of eggs was high because avian flu. That caused other things to also go up and the panicked. And things are considerably more expensive now. It’s interesting that you say they. That tells me a lot because it’s not they who did everything possible. If you weren’t in the fight, you are it

The BBB wasn’t around during Biden and what was wrong with the Infrastructure Bill?

For some reason, I can’t reply directly. That’s a lot to unpack. Agree on the prosecution. Should have been swift. Not sure what you mean about 14A. Give everyone a pathway to citizenship? Voter suppression, talk to SCOTUS.

Dogs during bath time: absolute chaos, zero regrets

Been watching the Zack Snyder Justice League films, and I’m sad that there won’t be any more Wonder Woman films with Gal Gator and that aesthetic. Granted the second movie was bad, but the character was pretty great. I also like Cyborg and Superman. ☹️

Yet another don’t vote in 2026. This worked so well in 2024. It’s amazing how they are coming out of the woodwork close to the start of the year as if they are following instructions. 🤔

I truly don’t understand the appeal of the Avatar movies.

Keeper of the Flame (1942), starring Katharine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy. It feels… uncomfortably current✨ #Epstein #EpsteinFiles 😳🤔🔄

@radiofreetom.bsky.social @mikemadrid.bsky.social I’m shocked that this has happened in Chile. It’s like the pendulum in Latin America is swinging back toward stupidity. The Right Wing Rises in Latin America www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

It seems Chile has forgotten the pain under Pinochet and has now elected the son of an actual Nazi. WTF? The Right Wing Rises in Latin America www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Christmas dinner for one. 1/

The person found these tiny silver shot glasses and wants to say SALUD/SLAINTE/A LA SANTE to everyone. The shot glasses are older than she is.

We will be open 11-5 today for anyone who just now realized a murder mystery could make the perfect gift

Watching a Christmas movie.

Good to know...

@andyandfrankie.bsky.social Army Mom must be over the moon!

The person’s nephews (and parents) came over tonight to exchange gifts, eat pizza (Hawaiian) and play Uno. A great time was had by all, and she totally lucked out!

@missybbbobtail.bsky.social Did you hear about Queen Mab’s ordeal? She’s better now.

This is a fantastic Christmas gift (apologies for roach selfie). For myself. And I know just the person whose name will go on there. 😹 sazoo.org/crymeacockro...

This does not look rosy for the economy in 2026 at least for Kentucky. Sometimes I wonder about Wall Street predictions. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just keeping it warm.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Totally. 😑

Are there any #veterinarians here who could give me some insight? My cat has been in the ER for two days now. She’s my world. Any help or advice would be wonderful.

The person went to visit her aunt, and Petit, the goodest boi wanted to be petted the hole time.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

I have been rewatching the Harry Potter films because they are good distractions. And it struck me that our current timeline is very Order of the Phoenix. Evil is winning right now, but there are good people fighting, and it will not prevail.

Happy winter solstice. The person says she is for one looking forward to more light in her life.

Christmas Perspective ~ Charles Schulz #CharlesSchulz #Snoopy #Peanuts

His best scene in the West Wing. Possibly one of the best scenes in the entire series. (A Christmas movie itself.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM56...

This year, the general feeling about the holidays is that we should sleep through them. But in an attempt to make them a little better, there is a tiny tree and a tiny nativity. Baby Jesus doesn’t arrive until Dec. 24 and the wise kings until Jan. 6.

How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀 LA tow truck driver who towed ICE’s car found NOT GUILTY 🦸🏽‍♂️

I love this so much. And, yes, start local and go intergalactic. Love, dignity, respect and celebrating each other. 🕎

Thank you @ricksteves.bsky.social Mr. Steves (famous because of his thoughtful travel reporting) saved a restroom/showering area for the unhoused in Lynnwood, a city north of Seattle. Thousands of people depend on the center. This is what good people do. They help when they are able to help.

So the person has been watching Revenge. I don’t know why she tortures herself. She keeps screaming at the TV about how stupid/arrogant the Emily/Amanda character is.

So what’s everyone doing tonight that’s less painful than watching TV? The person thought she would drive me around and then give me a bath. A trip to the ER could be interesting. 😹
